bbq sauce for ribs

[ridgefire]

what is your guys favorite bbq sauce for smoking ribs and what not... going to use sweet baby rays but wondering if I should use something else. also like stubbs but is there others from freddys or safeway that I should be trying.

[Russ McDonald]

I used Famous Dave's on my last ones.

Big pappa bills bbq sauce, he lives in Orting and his sauce is manufactured in a certified kithchen in Sumner, Wa. He has mild, med and hot. The hot gets hotter as it sits in the fridge after opening. He has a web site I believe something like-bigpappasbillsbbq-orting-wa.com.

Sounds like you have it figured out. Sweet Baby Rays (big bottles from Costco)

[Boss .300 winmag]

Make it myself.

[PlateauNDN]

   I still experiment with making my own, vinegar based,  but as of recent I've loved rubs snd success by Big Papas.

x2 my fave.

I haven't tried it yet on my own BBQ, but I recently found Dickey's BBQ.  I'll have to try it this summer on my own BBQ, but so far I've only had it at Dickey's restaurant..........good stuff.  I maybe like it better than Famous Dave's sauce.

[C-Money]

Yup! Sweet Baby Rays is my favorite! I too get the big bottles at Costco. YUM!

Jerseys on 175th in shoreline  double D in mtlt has a good selection if you wanna try something new

My favorite that I have found is backwoods bbq sauce out of northern Idaho but the only place I have found it is at eggers meats in deer park and I live on the west side. Anybody have any good homemade recipes?

Holy Smoke Gourmet - Sticky Wing sauce.  Hard to find around these parts nowadays.  Used it for wings for years and then tried it on pork - OMG    I now order it online by the case a couple times a year.  And rarely ever use it on wings.  It's just too good to waste on a little wing.

It's sold all over in Spokane area. Many local grocery stores carried them when I lived there. Unfortunately that doesn't help your current situation. But it's good stuff.

Also like Famous Dave's. Lots of good variety.

I made some the other night - Dr. Pepper sealed the deal.

Lots of goodness comes out of this cook book!

Biffs Blue Ribbon hot and spicy. Sold at Tacoma boys and other stores. Made by a friend in Puyallup. The best.

I know it's very popular but I personally don't care for sweet baby rays.  My favorite sauce seems to change from time to time.  Right now, it's KC Masterpiece Burbon flavored sauce

[kckrawler]

Years ago my folks were visiting family in South Dakota and ran across this stuff and it is awesome.

You can't buy it anywhere locally. If you're ever in SD, pick up a bottle and try it out...you'll be ordering it by the case every 4 months or so afterwards

[Kc_Kracker]

Make my own

I use no sauce on my ribs while they are cooking, except for mop sauce, which is not much more than beer and apple cider vinegar.  But I prefer Texas style.  There are tons of great BBQ recipes online.  It's so easy to make your own, plus your guests will be that much more impressed with your efforts.

[Blacklab]

useally take kc honey add tree top apple concertrait with red pepper flakes and a shot of old # 7. Next time knob creek is gonna get chance to play.

[PolarBear]

I put Sweet Baby Ray's in a pan, add caramelized Walla Walla sweet onions and sometimes a little bacon and let it cook on low for a couple of hours.  Mmmmmm....

[Possum197]

Well folks, I'm 63 years old and tried them all....and the absolute best...bar none is Show - Me BAR-B-Q Sauce. I order it once a year (4 half gallons at a time). He's in Columbia Mo.  phone 1 573 442 5309
Believe me, you will never go back to anything else!

If you are forced to buy it from the store sweet baby rays gets the vote, but if you can get your hands on some Big Papa Bills sauce it will be a real treat. I think he will have the BEAST loaded up with BBQ down at the Orting Daffodill parade this weekend in downtown Orting WA and I read he will be selling his sauce there as well.

 

[Bofire]

  I dry pack any seasoning I use, I see no reason for putting sauce on good meat.

OH Yeah I surely dry rub my ribs just use the BBQ sauce if I want it after it is all done.

[KopperBuck]

 

Any wet that goes on my ribs before they hit the smoker might be mustard, but that's it.

I use Sweet Baby rays to finish after cooking, P-Bear that sounds really good, I will definately have to try that.

  try the Memphis Meathead Dust rub. Amazing on ribs, you don't even need BBQ sauce.

[brianmtsinc]

A third vote here for Big Pappa Bills!  The stufff is addicting! 

  I actually buy it by the GALLON!!!   

[whitey]

No sauce. I dry rub and then throughout the cook apply my mop.
Dont need any teeth to eat my meat. For sure no sauce. If I want sauce I will make mine own.

[mikelonsford]

For ribs I make my own but if I am going to buy a BBQ sauce then I buy James Gang.  They are from Oregon but sell in most butcher shops.  They are at most outdoors shows or fairs also.  Best I've bought.

[atfulldraw]

James Gang dose make some good sauce.

Ingredients
2 slabs baby back ribs (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 bacon slices
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 onion
3 smashed garlic cloves
2 cups ketchup
1 cup peach preserves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
Directions
Special equipment: Kitchen twine

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Put the ribs on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Stick them in the oven, and let the ribs bake, low and slow for 1 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, make the sauce. Wrap the bacon around the middle of the thyme sprigs and tie with kitchen twine so you have a nice bundle. Heat a 2-count of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme bundle and cook slowly for 3 to 4 minutes to render the bacon fat and give the sauce a nice smoky taste. Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly, without coloring, for 5 minutes. Add all of the rest of the sauce ingredients, give the sauce a stir, and turn the heat down to low. Cook slowly for 20 minutes to meld the flavors. Put some sauce in a separate bowl for basting, reserving the remaining sauce for serving.

Baste the ribs with the sauce and let them continue cooking, basting twice more, for 30 more minutes. When the ribs are cooked, take them out of the oven. You can let them hang out like this until you're ready to eat.

When ready to eat, preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and broil the ribs, basting with the sauce. They should become crisp and charred, about 5 minutes on each side. Pick the onion and garlic out of the sauce and serve with ribs.
