Here are just a few of the many choices you have when it comes to BBQ sauce. We like to think of ourselves as BBQ connoisseurs, but we have to admit, we'd never heard of some of these!

Check This Out…

For those who like spice with their smoke: NW Elixir's Hott Smoke #3
Portland-based NW Elixirs are renowned in the industry for tongue-destroying heat that still tastes like more than just fire. Their Hott Smoke #3 has a foot in both the hot sauce world and the barbecue circuit, it’s a condensed chipotle-based hot sauce that amplifies smokey flavors without any of the artificial additives.

For the coffee nerd: Franklin's Espresso
After waiting five hours in line for Aaron Franklin's brisket, saucing up your prize is sacrilege, but for the home cook with a coffee fixation there's nothing better than the rich, roasted flavors of his espresso barbecue sauce.

For the person who’s feeling chicken: Big Bob Gibson's White Sauce
Although Alabama might not be considered a ‘cue stronghold, Big Bob Gibson's is a must-visit pilgrimage for any connoisseur, thanks largely to the signature white sauce that coats their smoked chicken. A complex mix of horseradish, mayo, vinegar, and apple juice makes this a tangy addition to any smoked meat.

For the music fan: Stubb's Original
Located in the heart of Austin's Red River Cultural District, Stubb's Barbecue is more synonymous these days with smoking riffs than smoked meats, with some of the nation’s top talent gracing its two stages. What hasn’t changed is their sauce, which can still seriously level up brisket and sausage thanks to a classic Texas flavor profile driven by molasses, tomato, and black pepper.
