re: What is your go-to store bought BBQ sauce?

I really like the Heinz Pitmaster series of sauces. Mostly the Carolina Tangy.

Stubb’s Sticky Sweet is what I use for ribs. Really enjoy it. No high fructose corn syrup like Sweet Baby Ray’s either.

Stubbs for brisket
Rendezvous for everything else

Also like Rufus Teague honey

Jack Miller's probably has its origins in German sauces. At its base are mustard and onions.

I can confirm that homemade BBQ sauces in places like Gott’s Cove, Robert’s Cove and Iota are definitely heavy on the onion. Some mustard, but not as much as Jack Miller’s. I love Miller’s for burgers and chicken, but the sauces from the coves are too sweet for me without enough tang. Not very appealing for me.

Always been Jack Millers but the wife is celiac so we wither make our own.

They have some other flavors too, but this is my go to.

Sticky Fingers is good, and been around a long time.

That Texas style one at HEB is good as well.

It’s a Chattanooga restaurant, didn’t think they produced the sauce that far from here for very long.

It's a chain that started in Charleston. Piggly Wiggly has sold their sauce for quite a while.

If..and it's a big if, I use any tomato based sauce on BBQed meats it's a sugar and HFCS free one called G. Hughes Sugar Free. Nice flavor with just a hint of sweetness from sucralose. I much prefer my meat "dry" or with a proprietary vinegar based sauce.
