I'm looking for a sweet barbecue sauce like a sweet baby rays but better. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks, Mark

    We like Blues Hog here.  BH Original is a sweet sauce.  I do a 50/50 mix of Blues Hog original and Sonny's Sweet sauce.  Everyone that I have served my Q to seems to love that sauce.  When I want something a little more hotter, I do a Blues Hog Original / Blues Hog TN. Red mix.  We also like the sauces made by Uncle Kenny's BBQ.

    How do you mean "better?" Sweeter? More complex flavor?

    Maybe start w. Ray's, and boost some of the components, maybe more pineapple juice. Some onion juice. The original doesn't have much (?any) heat, so add a dash of cayenne.

    +1 for the Adam Perry Lang sauce. Great stuff & you can tweak the recipe the way you like.

    Blues Hog regular is the best sweet sauce I've had, but I don't like sweet sauces. I prefer their Smokey Mountain sauce or a 1:1 mix of their regular and the TN Red.

    Smok'n Pig Sweet and Spicy's a good all-rounder.
    High Sierra (labelled Spicy) but it's not.
    Favorite is Williamson Brothers - both original and their chipotle pepper.
    But I often make my own from scratch.

    I have not found it in Florida. I either order it from FireCraft or pick up 2 or 3 cases at Food City when I go to TN each year.  With you being in Orlando, give Uncle Kenny's a try.  He is in Clermont and has some really good sauces.  My wife loves his mustard based sauce.

    @fljoemon‌ you might try pettys meat market over in Longwood. Its the only place I can think of that may have it. If not they have good meat and used to have free beer on tap while you shop. Been 5 years since I have been there though but it was the best meat market I found when I lived in Orlando.

    In case you try to find it, it's "Bone Suckin' Sauce". My mistake.

    Bone Suckin' Sauce can be found at Whole Paycheck, er, Whole Foods, but I wouldn't characterize it as a real sweet sauce.  It is good though.  I like their Hot Thick Sauce,

    I took ribs to a cul de sac party last night and every person came up asking me what sauce I used. I always use a drip pan and fill it about a third with water. When I am unfoiling the ribs I pull the drip pan and add some of the rub I used to the remaining water from the drip pan and add apple juice and apple cider vinegar and last night I added some garlic chilli paste and siracha for some heat and then I reduce it to concentrate the flavors. Its really runny so at the end I usually add some blues hog original to taste for a little sweetness and give it some consistency. By the time the ribs are done the sauce is usually ready and I got pull the plate setter and get the egg hot and mop the ribs and give them a final sear for color. I will usually flip and mop them a couple times and then that's the only sauce they get and with how runny the sauce is you can't even tell they were ever sauced by looking at them but you can taste it. I do them same thing with shoulder to make my own sauce. The drippings pick up a good smoke flavor that you can never get with a store bought sauce.
