I rarely use any....if I do I typically buy a bottle brand the tweak it significantly depending on how I plan to use it...basting, dipping, mopping, marinating, etc.....

I start with Kraft

Out of the bottle is cheating Snake, you need to up your game like stub. I keep my BBQ sauce separate, till right before its served. Even left overs, warming up pull pork and sausage now. And of course warming up Guy's Fabulous BBQ Sauce with it, gets better every time I warm it up.

Here's my sweet and spicy ketchup/vinegar recipe. Great for those that like the vinegar type sauces that also doubles as a decongestant when you smell it during cooking..

When you go buy the white vinegar, I suggest you get the 1 gallon jug. Use the 4 cups and pour the rest on your favorite fire ant mound. This recipe fills that jug just fine.

4 c WhiteVinegar or just one bottle of 32 oz. white vinegar
5 c White Sugar, best results with splenda type
3 tsp Minced Garlic
8 tsp Colgin Liquid Smoke
10 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
8 c Ketchup or one 64 oz bottle. Buy the cheapest stuff on the shelf
2-1/2 Tbsp Prepared Horseradish (not creamed style !)
1/8 c Ground BlackPepper
1/8 c Ground cayenne Pepper
1/8 c Crushed Red Pepper
1/4 to 1/2 stick Butter
1-1/2 Juiced Lemon or 5 tablespoons juice

Mix sugar, vinegar and garlic in heavy/crock pot
Heat and stir until sugar is fully dissolved.
Add remaining ingredients
(If splenda, then just dump it and all the rest of the stuff in and turn it on high)
Stir constantly until a slight boil starts. Then set it to low for 2 hours then shut off.
Bottle it up after it cools off. If you used the 32oz vinegar, use that empty bottle, plus the empty
ketchup bottle.

Okay Guy you need to invite all of us over to test your Bad to the Bone BBQ sauce, we will provide the beverages

My BBQ sauce is pretty damn good, but I'm still perfecting it, and still doing major scientific analysis.

And of course warming up Guy's Fabulous BBQ Sauce with it, gets better every time I warm it up.

Okay Buddy which one is it Are we just getting BBQ Lip Service out of you

Everything is not always this or that, black or white, 100% this or 100% that..... Stub. So what I'm trying to say, you should always expect a little lip service, in this case probably 10%.

Head Country FTW. That stuff is legit

only kind I use. why make your own?

I'm not big on BBQ sauce, but picked up some Head Country the other day after so many bragging on it on here....NASTY! I sampled some on a spoon and all I could taste was liquid smoke. Both bottles went to the trash LOL.
