I know there are all kinds, Carolinas, Memphis, Kansas City, Texas, etc. But IMHO, Fiorella's Jack Stack Kansas City Barbeque Sauce is the BEST. State your preference, no fighting........

I enjoy different flavors,, depending upon my mood.
But I do know some folks will darn near come to fist fighting over their preferences in sauces.
Here in WNC,, ours is most often a tomato based sauce. I have a few good ones I enjoy,, but they are homemade.

I love the thick sweet BBQ sauces from Eastern Texas.
But I also like the mustard based bbq sauces. Or the Alabama white sauce.
Just no spicy sauces. I don’t think BBQ should be overly spicy.

FWIW, I got used to Rudy's BarBQ Sause (not their Sissy Sause) when I lived in New Mexico, and still buy it when I can get it.

No BBQ sauce, well maybe on chicken....maybe. Wood fire and smoke. brisket or pork.
I make some sauce from drippings and dry rub to moisten a sandwich.

Locally owned (Macon, GA) Mrs. Griffins bbq sauce. However local bbq joints have great sauce that I buy also: Finchers (Macon) and Old Clinton BBQ (Gray).

Gates BBQ is my favorite. Also the Gates dry rub.
Vinegar, tomato based sauce then BBQ smoked with mesquite.
Huli-Huli chicken is our all time favorite though. If you havent had it you don’t know what you’re missing. The first place we always stop at in Maui is our go to Huli joint. We make it at home but it’s better there.

What is this sauce stuff you speak of???????? Please tell me you don't put it on BBQ COW. Probably OK to slather some on Pig and Yard Bird it will probably help the taste.:-) :)
A Texas BBQ Joint that is listed in the top 10 Joints in Texas doesn't even have any sauce in their joint. If you have good smoked BBQ beef why use it.
We do use sauce that we get from "The City Market" in Luling, Texas which is also rated in the top 10. Part owner of the joint is a cousin of DIL and he will not give her the recipe. It is a thinner type vinegar base and not sweet at all. I don't have a clue what is in it but it is about the only one I care for. We use it on pulled pork that I smoke.

I am a fan of Austin's Own medium BBQ sauce. No corn syrup, not too sweet and just the right consistency.
OP
Ah, further explanation needed I see. No, we don't put sauce on smoked beef, but Jim, you are right pork and chicken are more flavorful with it. I don't like sweet sauce but my wife does, so we use two different ones. I like the vinegary kind. Gates is good, but Jack Stack is my favorite.

I go to the Best of the West Rib Cook-Off in Sparks every year to taste bar-b-q from all over the world and while most of them are pretty good, during the rest of the year, I go to Famous Dave's in Reno for bar-b-q. I also purchase several bottles of various flavors of sauce while I am there. Great stuff!
Plain old ketchup slathered all over it, the cheaper the better. Walmart's Great Value brand is particularly tasty. It goes great on a $75 steak, too. Great value yellow mustard comes in a close second, lots of it! Mmm mmm...

We use several different sauces. Most of them tomato based. I have had barbecue from a place called The Smokey Pig in Phenix City, AL, their sauce is a combination of tomato & mustard base. It was good.
I haven't had the white sauce.
I don't really care for the sugar sweet sauces. I guess I kind of like it sweet & tart at same time.

Son You are way beyond hope, just hopeless. The Texas border is now closed to you forever. I do hope the rest of the good people of Georgia don't do this. :) :) :) :) :)
Jim, I forgot taco sauce. Taco Bell's fire sauce really makes a 16 oz. Prime Rib at a top Texas steak house come alive. Add some lemon; it's to die for LOL
I remember Mom doing that with ketchup when I was a kid.
Later on she progressed to a mixture of ketchup, mustard & worcestershire sauce.
There’s places here that sell BBQ sauce called “Blues Hog”. I’m not a BBQ expert or lover but this stuff is pretty good.

Stubbs, Terry Black, Sweet Baby Ray, etc are ones I use when cooking and need a sauce. I have my Mom’s recipe which is good for pork ribs.
Went to a BBQ joint here in AZ called Bobby Q. Sauce is one of the best I’ve had.
But the sauce is the finishing to the BBQ. What separates the dishes is the rub. Too many of those.

Well I'm of the opinion of if we're talking bbq your're talking pork.with a smoky sweet sauce and it's got to have a little added habanero heat. In Montana my family turns their beef into mighty fine steaks but bbq is pig all the way. A pigs got to be a meat eaters dream. Ham, bacon and bbq ribs all outta one animal!
I am a dry rub guy but Gates bbq from KC is better than what
I can make for those who insist. I get a case shipped about once a year

Truthfully, I don’t think the rest of the world can make BBQ like Texas.
I’ve been to cookouts in Europe and watching them cook, it’s just different. Same in Australia, it’s just not like Texas BBQ and never will be.
Low and slow is where it’s at. I bought a cookbook by Rodney Scott. He’s from South Carolina (maybe North, not sure) and he has a restaurant in Birmingham.
He’s also a James Beard award winning chef.
His restaurant is simply incredible. There is no other word for it. Without a doubt hands down, best ever, incredible.
The rest of the world is simply playing catch-up.

I might get flamed but my favorite is Sweet Baby Ray’s Hickory. They have several different flavors that I’ve never tried though.
I'm pretty sure the American Revolution was really about BBQ sauces.
Rudy's? Taco Bell? Next thing you know, some will claim the best hamburgers are from McDonald's. Marketing hype...all of them.
Bud Light is proof that marketing hype is temporary.

Hey That must be the reason that my Daughter who lives in Helena always wants good Q when she comes to visit in Texas.
I have never heard of Brisket Steak isn't that a little on the tough side? :) I do believe Mr. Beef has two of them that need cooked low and slow:-) Have to agree with you on the pig parts.
This is the way my Grandfather did his beef on his ranch for large gatherings.
He is prodding a large cut of beef with a pitchfork. The grill contains around twenty large pieces of meat.
