I've been a fan of Sweet Baby Ray's for a while but have recently grown tired of it. What are your favorite commercial alternatives? I can make my own I guess, but would rather not. Thanks!

1st off, I tend to buy the bbq sauce with no HFCS. Kraft makes 2 cheap sauces and one says no HFCS. Awesome. I buy weber sauce when I can get it on sale.  Kc masterpiece has a 25th anniversary bottle that is real good. I do make mine own, but I do buy the bottles.

My go-to bottled BBQ sauce is the K.C. Masterpiece that they sell at Costco.  No hfcs and a great price. It is a pretty good sauce by itself, and a great place to start if you like to customize.

I also avoid high fructose corn syrup. I really like Bullseye BBQ sauce by Kraft. It's pretty thick so depending on what I'm using it with (especially something like pulled pork) I'll thin it with apple cider vinegar. I'm also a fan of KC Masterpiece.

I'm trying all flavors of Sweet Baby Ray's. so far hot & spicy is my favorite, but there are several good ones...they even have some good wing sauces

The best bottled I've found is World Harbors Sticky Rum. That being said, it is getting really hard to find now.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn't?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I've amassed a nice collection, but I'm missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

I really like webers line of bbq sauces and famous daves as well

We definitely try to avoid HFCS as much as possible, as well. I am a big fan of Weber's sauces... and the lack of HFCS is one of the reasons why.

I found this sauce about seven years ago and never looked back. I am NOT a fan of sweet baby rays. Everyone in town uses it as their wing sauce. Over kill
Stay grilling  my friends!!!!

I have also tried for years to find line of BBQ sauces better than SBRs.   There has only been one company that really impressed me with their entire line, and makes our guests say "Wow! What kind of sauce is that?!"

KC Masterpiece and Weber's when I use sauce, when I make my sauce I use KC Masterpiece as the base.
Wanted: 18" Platinum any color will work

Sweet Baby Rays is like the Budweiser of BBQ sauce :P
People like it just because its there and its what they are used to.

Need to try more to find what one I REALLY like, but for now Stubbs is on hand and not bad.

Sticky Fingers original or Henry Robert's original...it's a Florida thing, feels like home :)

This is my number one, go to sauce.



Rufus Teague is pretty good too. The Touch O' Heat has anchovie paste in it....brilliant....I add a little cider vinegar and Tiger Sauce to improve it though. The Pappy's needs no doctoring.
