I'm in a BBQ sauce rut. I know I could make my own (and I do sometimes) but looking for recommendations on a good commercial sauce. I'm not talking SBR here, maybe something a little less generic. Go!

I love the Malcolm Reed sauces. You can find them on Amazon, but they’re cheaper on his website.XL BGE, Large BGE, Small BGE, Weber Summit NGMemphis

These are all good. The “pork” sauce used to be called “vinegar sauce”. It’s just the Texas Style cut 50/50 with acv. It’s awesome on ribs. The espresso is really interesting.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I'm pretty snobby about commercial BBQ sauces, I think most on the stores shelves are crap. I haven't tried Franklins (above) yet, but I've been pleasantly surprised by Lilly's range of sauces. They're legit.

SBR is my go to mass market sauce. I used to love one from Missouri called Show Me Sauce. Both made a good glaze for dry rubbed ribs.Michiana, South of the border.

The easiest way to enhance a bottled sauce and mix things up without starting from scratch is mixing some apple cider vinegar with the commercial stuff. I can't recall any ratios, but just keep adding and taste testing until you find the right balance.Stillwater, MN

Blues Hog Tennessee Red is outstanding... I also mix Tennessee Red and Original for wings and ribs...Charlotte, NC - Large BGE 2014, Maverick ET 733, Thermopen, Nest, Platesetter, Woo2 and Extender w/Grid, Kick Ash Basket, Pizza Stone, SS Smokeware Cap, Blackstone 36"

A simple home brew I like is Heinz 57, molasses, cider vinegar, and a jar of peach preserves. Portions to suit your taste buds. It’s awesome on pork. Leave out the ketchup and it makes a great glaze.Michiana, South of the border.
