I dont know. John Ward here has carved out a market in the high end barbeque stuff. Green Eggs, Bull Grills, Webers, high end patio furniture, they have decent deals on lump charcoal. I try to buy from them when I can.

But in the front they have about half an aisles worth of pretty cool stuff. Lots of stuff from Traeger line of rubs and sauces, but also some stuff you may have never heard of.

McClard's is good if you can find it. I've only seen it in Hot Springs grocery stores. It's not overly sweet, which is why I hate most of the store sauces.



I used to keep Stubb's around, but now I just make double batches of No. 5 sauce and keep it in squirt bottles.

The recipe is simple as hell, people love it, and you can adjust sugar and vinegar ratio to taste.

No. 5 Sauce

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon rub

Optional: hot sauces, mustard, chili powders, molasses, or whatever you want to try.

Simmer on low for about 10 minutes to melt the sugar and marry the flavors.

At the moment Gates Original Classic.

I also really liked one that I wanted to hate... Guy Fieri Carolina #6. I don't know if it was really great or if it was how it reminded me of my favorite BBQ place when I was a kid back in the MO Bootheel.

Love that one. I also add about 1/2 cup of drippings if I have any.

I'm not loyal to any particular brand. Hell Kraft bbq is fine for most things.

Tried to find the sticky fingers in person yesterday but the store's inventory was 0 and online said 6. Settled on the last bottle of The Shed. Will be using for pork belly burnt ends tomorrow.
