I know a lot of folks like to make their own. Years ago, I did also. Now, I am a lot more lazy. I either use commercial or doctor it just slightly. But I think commercial sauces aren't that bad overall.
If your favorite isn't listed, post it and I'll add it. Feel free to comment on any of the sauces, good or bad. It's a secret poll, so no one will ever know if you do secretly like one of those commercial sauces. :pig:

I like Stubbs original on brisket.
I like sweet baby rays as a dipping sauce for things, but never cared for it as a slather for meat. If I do use it as a meat sauce, I water it down quite a bit to thin it out. It's the only sauce my daughter will eat so if she wants wings or something I'll use it for that occasionally.
Haven't had very many on the list.

I need a option of... I can't pick a favorite... I don't use them very often, but I find many are actually quite good. Recently I got into some mustard based sauces... Sticky Fingers makes a good one, but so does Sweet Baby Ray... There have been times that I liked Stubbs, but those times are fewer and fewer...
Sometimes, I just like the simplicity of pulling a bottle from the fridge... or in trying a new brand/style that I see on the shelf in a store. I'm the only one in my family that even likes BBQ sauce.. so I don't ever put it on stuff as I'm cooking, at least not very often... like one in 30 cooks might have sauce on during cooking phase.

Competition we use KC Masterpiece and Stubbs mixed half and half with a few of our own additions. Around the house I use Louisburg Cider Mill Honey Crisp Apple BBQ Sauce.
-
Lately I seem to be making my own sauce more often than not. But, when I do use a commercial sauce, it's usually Famous Dave's Rich and Sassy, or Wee Willy's Original Formula.
-
Heinz Carolina
Famous Dave's South Side

It's not very popular.

I usually have some Famous Daves Devils Spit, a customer used to stop and pick it up for me.
I like Cattlemans Gold on chicken mostly.
-
I like Blues Hog Original
-
Many are not aware, but Bulls Eye is a Kraft product.
And makes for a very nice sauce.
I see Bentley hasn't voted yet, cause his favorite is at 0% right now.

Trooper I used Bulls Eye when I lived in Michigan and it is a good product. I'll have to look for it to see if it's being carried in any of the stores.

Stubbs Smokey Mesquite on ribs . my family would divorce me if I changed .
-
Blues hog original for me.
-
Famous Dave's is about the best I can find in the grocery stores. Blues Hog if I can make a 20 mile road-trip.
-
I am a big fan of Rufus Teagues. I also use quite a big of Cattlemans. Pretty good sauce and GFS has had it on for 9.99 a gallon with a $6 mail in rebate 3.99 for a gallon is hard to beat

Kraft original.

I like Blues Hog Original
That is a good one

If we make it to the American Royal next year, I would love to do some taste testing -- redo the chicken brine testing, do some smoke testing (see if folks can recognize different pellet woods on meats) and I would like to do a sauce testing. But I need testers, so you all would have to come to the AR for a couple of days and all be testers for PelletFan.com. But it is in the name of science, so I am sure you all won't mind the trip!!!

Just can't be beat!

Most of the commercial sauces are too sugary for me, but Sweet Baby Rays came out with a chipotle version that I can actually obtain in my area. The chipotle version adds enough heat to offset the sweet. Sometimes I like to make my own, but it takes longer than my patience lasts, and is usually reserved for larger back yard parties.

my buddy brought over a bottle of that chipotle sauce yesterday but I didn't try it yet. It was on sale for $1 at a local grocery store for their Friday one day specials.
-
The original Open Pit is to bad either
-
Mine is not on the list: Wee Willy's Original. He is a local MN guy who took first place at the Jack back in 2002. It may be hard to find in other places outside of MN.
I used it on my 2015 Royal ribs. Thought it would be a nice change from the Blues Hog that the judges are so used to tasting. It worked.

Have tried a few on the list, but always seem drawn back to Stubbs or Masterpiece depending on the cook.

Sweet Baby Ray's....It is the kids favorite and Costco sells it. Makes my life easy and I like it too. If I mop with it, I thin it out.
-
Open Pit and Cattlemans Memphis Sweet
-

How do you thin it?

Apple Cider Vinegar sometimes. With pork ribs, I actually add honey and thin with water.
-
I also use apple juice to thin Sweet Baby Ray's.

Not to hijack the tread, but I can get any number of sickening sweet 'bbq' sauces here in the PNW. But Dang, it gets old.
Maybe it's just where I'm at, but I'd love to see some suggestions for a more vinegary type of sauce.
Am I relegated to make up my own? :help:
-
If I thin Kraft original it's with any cheap straight bourbon.
Preferably Kentucky Tavern

Get Billy Merrill of Holy Smoke to send you some of his. Best truly pure vinegar "sauce" I have ever had and makes pulled pork edible! You can PM him.

Gee! You cut me right out of the loop!

Add vinegar then. I thin with apple cider vinegar and it is good. The internet is at your fingertips, order something in!

The Heinz Carolina is sorta like that.

Paul Neuman's original
-
I make my own when I am having a large gathering. Occasionally I'll buy Open Pit and modify it. My "go to" lately is Sweet Baby Ray's.
-
My favorite is not listed, and it's not available in the retail stores.
I really like the Cookshack Mild Sauce.
I do a little BBQ catering and the CS mild is really well received.
-

I do the same thing, often with a bit of apple juice as well. Works great for pork.
-
I'm a fan of Head Country.
-
I like Stubb's a lot but my kids prefer Famous Dave's Rich and Sassy, so that's what I usually buy.

I stick with Stubbs or Rufus. Rufus Teague’s blazing hot is amazing. My son won’t use anything else.
-
I take sweet baby ray's and thin it with a little apple juice and put a splash of apple cider vinegar in it. My grand kids love it
-
We like to go light on the sauces and have found the combination of Stubbs original and Cherry Republic cherry bbq sauce compliment each other nicely..
-
can't say I have tried everythgin under the sun, but I have tried a few and always just come back to sweet baby rays. Has that balance of flavor, sweet and spicy that just works well.

So you blend them? 50/50?

What has happened to the Dominance of KC Masterpiece?

Yes, 1 bottle of each mixed together, and added back in with the juices(after separating the fat) with 2 - 10 to 11ish pound pork butts freshly pulled..(use forks for a 'finer' shredded texture) quite tasty..
not too sweet, with just a 'hint' of cherry.
