Huckleberry Habanero BBQ Sauce 4/5
Hoooooot! The fruity hot Huckleberry Habanero BBQ Sauce comes to us all the way from Florence Montana. It marks two firsts for me – the first sauce I’ve reviewed from Montana and the first sauce I’ve tried with huckleberries. The maker is Grandma Hoot Products hence the initials “GHP” on the front of the label […]
Baltimore Barbecue Company Chesapeake Style 5/5
This is the second product in the Baltimore Barbecue Company line-up and what stands out is the classy label on the outside of the bottle and the bay seasoning inside the bottle to truly capture Maryland BBQ sauce in a bottle. Outside the Bottle This sauce has many of the same qualities of the original flavor […]
Baltimore Barbecue Company Original 4/5
This sauce has some lofty goals – the owner Adam Rosenblatt wants to put Baltimore BBQ sauce on the map, and why not?

Vaquero’s BBQ & Dippin Sauce (5/5)
A hardened, mustached Hispanic man introduces California-based Vaquero’s BBQ Sauce, where “Spicy Chipotle Meets Cowboy Coffee”. He looks you right in the face, as if to say “Go Ahead, Make My Wings” with an accent. I’m not sure who the guy is exactly, but I’m curious to find out more. Outside the bottle The sauce […]
Smokehouse Woods Sweet Whispering Heat (4/5)
I really like the name Sweet Whispering Heat and how it immediately conjures up a sauce that starts sweet yet quietly sneaks up on you… Outside the Bottle Label quality is simple and high quality but has some unused real estate which could be useful to put a stronger image in front of the casual observer. […]
The Picky Pig Barbecue Sauce (4/5)
From Long Island City, New York (a part of Queens) comes this well executed sauce with a sweet approach and a tangy finish, one for those who prefer to rock a stronger vinegar flavor (like Open Pit and Stubbs) as opposed to the classic thick sweet BBQ sauce (such as KC Masterpiece and Bullseye BBQ […]
Sugar Britches BBQ Sauce and Glaze (4/5)
Sugar Britches was sent to me by the owners of Jenks Specialty Foods LLC, a California-based gourmet products producer with an appetite for making high quality, healthy, and tasty products. I immediately liked the name of the sauce upon first hearing it and couldn’t wait to open the bottle when it arrived. Outside the Bottle […]
Sugar Hill Smokehouse Sauce Sweet & Tangy Review (5/5)
There’s something mysterious and tempting about this label with a smoker set in the foreground with Sugar Hill Georgia in the background. On the outside, we can see the label is quite simple yet easy to read and gets all the major points across – what’s in it, what does it taste like, and is […]
Blues Hog BBQ Sauce Original Flavor (5/5)
Ah. It’s about time I tried the one, the only Blues Hog BBQ sauce. Since I started the site, I’ve only heard about this legendary sauce which is hugely popular among competition BBQ teams and on great BBQ forum sites like the BBQ Brethren. Whether they will admit it or not, this stuff is the […]
