    I am in North Augusta, Sherardp. The Sonny's sauce is very good and I actually used some on the butts I smoked for yesterday. Happy Holidays in Japan as well.

    Sweet baby rays, you can't go wrong - We have family who sends us sauce from all over the south, I usually have 5-10 sauces ready to use, as I do a lot of smoking. I'm a huge fan of Rudy's BBQ sauce from Texas, but the real deal is their Rudy's Rub, put it on a pork butt, set it on the smoker for 7 or so hours, and tear into it! Maybe I'll make a nice butt for the next NC Polkfest with some Rudys rub and SBR over it...

    Come on man!! **** sauce is barely even spicy. You need to try my sauces if you want to know what the true burn is all about!! :biggrin:

    As far as commercial BBQ sauces are concerned, Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle is F'n outstanding!

    Very versatile change of pace...

    Seems like same vein as the Sweet Baby Rays

    Based on the reviews I'll give the Old Mule a spin... Original or hot? And how is their mustard?

    Snow thawed and found my smoker. BBQ season is upon us....

    Just tried this sauce out on some ribs that I used a spicy rub on over the weekend. It was the perfect sweet and spicy combo for my friends and I. Highly recommend trying it out.

    My great-grandfather's patented plantation-style BBQ sauce. (It's not bottled and a family secret, sorry.) Very vinegar-based, not all that sweet **** at 99% of places.

    I see a lot of people put Sweet Baby Rays. Meh, I was not really impressed with it too much, myself. Also has HFCS in it (to go along with another thread). Each to their own tastebuds though.

    I prefer Stubb's - I mix the spicy with the smokey mesquite.

    I also can make up a pretty good sauce myself. Don't really have a recipe, but kinda ad lib it each time. Usually comes out good though.

    Oh, sorry there bud. I must have missed this post. To answer your question, it depends on how you like your sauce. The Original is what got me into Old Mule to begin with. To me, it is a reference BBQ sauce that needs absolutely nothing added to make your taste buds get a little slice of heaven on earth. The hot is the same version with a little bit more kick. It may me too hot for the wife or kids but it is damned tasty to me and adds the perfect amount of kick. Not too hot, not too mild.....kind of right on par with what you would expect a hot BBQ sauce to taste like. It's not so hot that you can't taste the food, which is a good thing in my book. Excellent blend of spices.

    As far as the mustard based sauce? I can't answer that for you. I'm personally not a big fan of a mustard based sauce but maybe someone here has tried it and can let you know. I do know this, next time I make an order, I will get me one of the mustard based jars. While I have not liked any mustard based sauces that I have tried [including Maurice's award winning sauce], just based upon the original and hot Old Mule sauces? I'm willing to try it.

    Oh, not a big fan of Sweet Baby Ray's sauce. It's like a beginners BBQ sauce to me.

    Placed another Old Mule order yesterday. I even ordered a shirt! I just wish they made a hotter sauce than their Hot. I did order a mustard too.

    I will keep searching.

    When you are in Cincinnati do yourself a favor and check out the Montgomery Inn. Great bbq and great sauce. Most of the grocery stores in Ohio carry it. Thick and smoky with a nice sweet follow up taste. Complex and indulgent.

    +1000 on this! You can also have it shipped to you.

    Big Daddy says, "This is Carolina style barbecue sauce." This means that it is vinegar and mustard based, as opposed to the ketchup and molasses based sauces of the mid and southwest. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors brings out the absolute best in grilled or smoked pork or chicken.
    Prep Time: 10 minutes

    Cook Time: 30 minutes

    Total Time: 40 minutes

    Yield: Makes about 2 1/4 cups

    Ingredients:

    1 cup prepared yellow mustard
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/4 cup light brown sugar
    3/4 cup cider vinegar
    1/4 cup water
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon white pepper
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon liquid smoke (hickory flavoring)
    Preparation:

    Mix all except soy, butter and smoke. Simmer 30 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 more minutes.

    Tried another great sauce on some beef ribs today. The sauce is actually better if you put it on after the meat comes off the BBQ. It's called Pendleton Original BBQ sauce. They put Pendleton Canadian Whiskey in it. It has a little spice and absolutely great flavor. The flavor and spiciness decrease and/or change if you actually heat the sauce on the meat. It's better placed on after the meat is cooked. Here is a link about it:http://www.oregongrowers.com/sauces/pendleton-original-bbq-sauce

    Big Daddy's BBQ's sauces. Local joint here in central Iowa. They closed the storefront/restaurant when the old man passed away but they kept the internet presence.
    FANTASTIC sauces from sweet and mild to popsicle **** hot. And all are delicious.
    Using a bottle of "Applicious" to baste some ribs in the smoker as I type this.

    Also a big fan of Russ&Franks. This is another local company and their sassy is probably my all-duty favorite. Virtually all of the local BBQ places that don't make their own sauces use Russ&Franks.

    I'm more of a rub type of guy when it comes to bbq and grilling.

    I use a concoction of Bone Sucking dry rub and some other seasoning I have - especially for chicken.

    But when I do use a bbq sauce - another vote for Sweet Baby Rays - or Stubbs.

    I found a really good teriyaki marinade/sauce - Kona Coast. Not watery - thicker and it really sticks to the meat and carmelizes perfectly.
