Favorite BBQ sauce
 

It's getting into prime BBQ season up here in chicagoland. So what's your favorite BBQ sauce? Is it hot, sweet, tangy? Do you make your own?

I'm trying some recipes I've collected from various sites on the net, but I haven't settled on one yet. In the commercial products I generally go for KC Masterpiece. But that's mostly cause I know it won't bother my Crohn's disease - no veggie bits.

If Q is done right you don't need sauce ,

Famous Dave's Rich and Sassy isnt bad for a sauce with an indeterminate shelf life. Its is a bit hot and sweet.

Arthur Bryants - The original is tangy, a bit hot.

Gates sauce (a bit further down the page) is more like KC Masterpiece

Chris n'Pitts original is the ONLY BBQ sauce in my house.

The stuff I make at home.

I usually can about 12 jars every month because everyone in my family comes over to my house & steals it!

Doesn't get much better than Lamonts

I could drink the stuff.. mmmmm

yes and lamonts is even better with much tabacso sauce added in auditionally

John Boy & Billy's.

The original is my fave but they have 3-4 varieties. I'm like Bullitt is about Lamont's.... I could drink this sauce. And it's good on every type of meat I've used it on.

A1. It has its own kind of flavor, a bit tangy, and not spicy.

I'd like to have someone's recipe for a thin, vinegar-based sauce to use during the cooking/smoking process. I can never find that type of sauce at the grocer's.

I like a good mustard based BBQ sauce, but, I agree with zippyt--done right and you don't even WANT sauce.
