condiment BBQ Sauce >> Smoked added or No Smoke added ?

[oldsalty]

OK anyone have any thought's on BBQ sauce i see many people use it on smoked food witch i think is a horrible mistake on Smoked foods. Why wreck a good smoked butt with some crappy store bought sauce. 
And what is your go to sauce?

Oh I know, I know!  They sent me a whole case for review a while back.  I would tell you to go look at it, but it seems the review tab is no longer there.

We may be talking about different sauces, sorry, I was pricing the Big Daddy's.

I was too.

Other than Ann's chipotle, BBQ sauce is for microwave hotdogs and chicken nuggets. As far as I'm concerned

That's when that liquid smoke comes in handy.

Hogleg my brother i'm telling ya you wood drink this stuff by the glass just a great sauce makes killer sloppy joe's Not just for bbq i use it as a sauce for many meals.

Sloppy joe's, so very tomato-tangy? Less molasses?

 

[JayT]

I smoke my microwave hot dogs in the microwave.  You just put some wood in a bowl of hot dog water and voila!

This sauce is not a traditional overly sweet bbq sauce nice tomato flavour with black pepper and garlic just so yummy

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I like a good savory sauce with bits of garlic and black pepper etc. This one is tits to marinate chicken with.

Grant, you will dig! It's a thin sauce because of the beer but packed with savory flavor and bits, and not sweet. Marinate chicken overnight and you get real beer can chicken taste, more than the method. And it's made with Maine ingredients.
 
Prob the best marinade/thin sauce I've had, for chicken. I could see this performing well for kebabs, wings, quarters. But def a chicken sauce imo. Wait. London broil, it would be killer for.
 
It goes fast because it's best as marinade, and brushing on, so get a couple if you do.

Noted. I'll work it into the experience ...
 
I'm going to post one I haven't had yet, but was next for me having run into high-praise 3 or 4x times ...

It is from Maine. We all know that everything is better in Maine.

I reached out to my friend Dr. BBQ, Ray Lampe.  You will know him from Food Network  as a judge on their shows.  I asked his opinion, here is the response:
 


Hey Ray, a few of us on TheHotPepper.com are discussing bbq sauces. I thought it would be good to get your opinion. What are some of your favorite bbq sauces commercial or otherwise?

Ray Lampe I'm not much of a sauce guy so I don't care for most of the sweet ones. The only bottle that's usually at our house is Gates original from KC. Sandi like BBQ Bob's so that's usually around too and a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's for guests.

*JUST* bought his book two night's past ...

 

[JayT]

He is such a cool and smart guy!  Great book to have, let me know how you like it.  I also messaged Chris Lilly, we'll see if he has the time to answer me back.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Most BBQ guys don't use sauce in the cooking, so really I don't think they will have much to say on it Jay. What are looking for? A sauce for what? 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

PS. Can you ask Aaron Franklin what sauce to use on brisket? Please let us know how that goes.

 

[JayT]

He doesn't use anything but salt and pepper, I know that.  I just thought it might be nice to hear from a couple of the "name" guys in bbq on what sauces they like.  I happen to be friends with two of them so I thought I would try to get their opinions.   

 

[grantmichaels]

I use BBQ sauce on any brisket that I don't get vacuum sealed within the 1st 24 hrs after the cook.
 
If you flash chill it within 24 hrs, it keeps well in vac pouches, fridge or freezer ...
 
If you let it get past that, with oxygen in the container, the smoke flavor upon reheating is usually not the full selection of flavors, and emphasizes bad one's, while minimizing good one's ...
 
Like Maillard's (or the remnants behind the reactions), the "smoke" is a combination of hundreds if not thousands of flavors, and they each have their own timeline or half-life or whatever ...
 
I use BBQ sauce on day two leftover's, and thereafter ...

Good going. I always appreciate hearing just about anything from the folks who work with it entirely more than I ever could ...

I think the boss thought I was name dropping, which wasn't my intention, I just thought those guys could possibly add something to the conversation.
