So what's your favorite BBQ sauce. Since it is grilling season. Favorite recipe, brand, ect.

For the last couple of years I've been partial to Stubbs BBQ Sauce (and pretty much all of the marinades) and Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ.

My wife's grandfather owns quite a few small-town grocery stores and makes his own to sell in them. Best I ever had. It's a little "thin" as far has how "liquid" it is, but once you get used to grilling with it, it's amazing good. I have no idea if you can order it. I doubt it. Probably just a local thing. That being said, I'm always up for new grilling ideas. What say you guys?

Sweet baby ray's is very excellent, but I generally make my own bbq sauce.

Drippings, brown sugar, yellow mustard form the base, then I customize it with various spices depending on what I'm going for.

Cool. I'll have to try that. My mom used to make some BBQ sauce using molasses, ketchup, vinegar and what not. Can't remember the exact recipe, but it was pretty good. I like the idea of using some of the drippings.

Yeah, it's surprisingly easy and uber delicious. Generally I make the base, then toss in some kind of hot sauce, crushed hot peppers (chilis, red, whatever I have around), garlic, just go nuts with it. To be honest, it's difficult to mess it up. Just make sure your brown sugar/yellow mustard ratio is enough you get the sugar reasonably well dissolved when you mix it. You'll be pleasantly surprised. :)

Cool. I'll have to give that a try.

I'm also a fan of Sweet Baby Ray's sauce, but not the honey BBQ. I got a bottle and it just wasn't quite as good as the traditional sauce.

My favorite thing is when my dad grills burgers. We bought a cow from the meat locker so we have some really good beef and his burgers are the perfect size. They're also nice and pink inside. I toast a bun and mix a little bit of beer in the BBQ sauce. Stack a patty on a bed of lettuce, some tomato and onion slices, and shredded cheddar and then pour on a healthy dose of the BBQ sauce and you'll end up with a great burger. The beer is subtle but thins the sauce up a bit.

I remember a restaurant that we went to that had an amazing BBQ burger. It was a beef patty and some shredded BBQ pork. I have tried putting some of the shredded pork into a patty but it didn't work out too well. :hmm:.

I make my own rub, but have never tried making my own BBQ sauce. I'm gonna have to give it a shot.

I use J-A-S Korean Teriyaki Sauce as the base (2 parts) to 1 part Worchester Sauce. I marinate the meat/fish/chicken for about 20 minutes (as the BBQ heats). Add garlic and whatever to taste.
