Blues Hog sauce on ribs is to die for, the rub not so much. Never tried Killer hog so don't know.Be WellKnoxville TN

I like both Blues and Killer Hogs products. A word of caution. The products sold by brother Reed are excellent products. That being said they leave a reddish "hue" or color if you will on the end product. This does not hurt anything at all. I mention this only because some folks who have never seen it are taken back by it at first. Again both are excellent products.
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
To me that sauce on the right needs to be cut with something. There's just a little to much of something. Molasses maybe?SGH said:I like both Blues and Killer Hogs products. A word of caution.

A little bit goes a long ways! It's really rich and thick. Overpowering. It's good though just don't overdue it.NW IOWA

Since nobody has said it yet...blues hog is SWEET. it's like molasses. I only use it on chicken to make sticky-icky wings. If you don't like super sweet sauce, carefulKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

This. Or ribs for certain palates. I prefer Bone Sucking Sauce personally, especially since it has no HFCS like Blues Hog does. It's more of a glaze than a sauce and has more of a peppery finish instead of kicking you in the face with a molasses/cinnamon profile.The Cen-Tex Smoker said:Since nobody has sasid it yet...blues hog is SWEET. it's like molasses.

50/50 split of Blues Hog and Blues Hog Tennessee Red works great for me
-
As already said. Love the sauce, when I have sweet tooth, or are cooking for people who don't lie heat.I use The Honey mustard on chicken, and the red on pork ribs.They have a rub?=P~Bx - > NJ ->TX!!!All to get cheaper brisket!

I love Hogs Blue Sauce. Anyone ever try Cashmans?

BH Original is too sweet by itself for my tastes so I cut it with some other sauce that isn't so sweet (BH Red works well for this). I find the BH Smokey Mountain is fine as is. I'm in the middle of a bottle of the BH rub and while it isn't bad it isn't doing anything special for me and I won't buy it again.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, M&M BBQ Texas Smoke King, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal

John Henry's Hot Sugar Maple is by far my favorite rub...and I have a lot of them.XL,L,SWinston-Salem, NC

I like the killer hogs rub and bbq sauce. The sauce is one of those sauces that need to be "set" on the meat. It's a little sweet is it doesn't haven't a chance to set on your protein.XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

I like Blues Hog, but it tastes funny by itself. When I got it I tried a little and didn't like it, but when I put some on pulled pork yuuuuuuum!

The only problem with Blues Hog is that it's barbecue sauce flavored salt.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

I don't remember the last time I had the original straight. Always open a bottle of the original and a bottle of the red and marry them. Alao the honey mustard is probably the best I have ever had. Any north Georgia people Fergusons meat market carries blues hog.

@dldawes1 I always use BBBR on my butts, but never tried it on ribs. Was worried about it being a little too salty.
