Off the shelf?

Proabably Sweet Baby Ray's - my buddies dad beat them by coming in 3rd place in the Chicago rib contest, then getting beat by them the following year the two were close.

I much prefer making my own, if Im going to be spending a lot of money on the meat.
I give my guests a mix of wet and dry rubbed.

Sweet Baby Ray’s or Kraft. Or the local bbq places homemade sauce that comes warm oh man it’s delicious. Why? Well it’s just so good and yummy . Especially that warm bbq sauce from the bbq place here man let me tell you that’s some good sauce it has just enough tang to make your nose hurt if you eat it by itself.

I have tried many, but my favorite is Bullseye original.

Favorite is my wife’s. Next was a local place that made a dark molasses based sauce that was dark, similar to what my wife makes. Besides thst, I like the Wegmans store brand because they have different types and use sugar, not HFCS..

It's kind of the Bud Light of BBQ sauce, but it is really, really good. I have tried a bunch and I think this still takes the nod. I don't really like sweet sauces that much.

The BBQ sauces at Lidl are really good. Not sure it counts as BBQ sauce but the Thai-ger sauce is current favorite.

Sweet Baby Ray's & KC Masterpiece.

Here's a good tip to make crappy, thick, store bought sauce much better. Add apple cider vinegar little by little until it thins out a bit. Go to any real BBQ joint and most if not all of them will have a thinner type sauce.

but I bought a bottle of Redneck Lipstick the other day and it’s pretty fantastic. Only thing I don’t like is that it’s a thinner sauce than normal.

I also thin mine (Sweet baby rays) with vinegar and about 8 drops of super hot sauce and it is a perfect blend for me and wife, sweet and spicy.

Off the shelf, I'd say Everett and Jones of East Bay fame has the best sauce in the Bay Area. You can buy it at Safeway. It comes in hot and mild. I prefer mild.

Stubbs is tough to beat off the shelf. I like that its first ingredient isn't high fructose corn syrup.Sounds like he was a decent dude if the label has any truth.

I tried this and it tasted like some tomato sauce with spices in it

What about hot sauce?

I tried the Secret Aardvark everyone raves about and it's good on the spice factor but a bit too thick, I prefer the vinegar based ones like Frank's I think.

Hot sauce is too hot for me lol. The spiciest thing I can stand is the salsa at the Mexican restaurant.

I forgot to add the why. I think my taste for BBQ sauce is a regional thing. Growing up, my mom made her own. It was a tomato and vinegar based sauce with very little sugar. I still like my sauces with very little sugar. The Mrs. Griffin’s is more of a mustard based sauce. I buy it when I can find it.

KC Masterpiece Bourbon because it's not really sweet like most BBQ sauces.
