Not a throw down for mini BBQ sauces, Tom. Just a small scale throw down of a few store bought sauces.
I don't usually make my own. I have settled on Bullseye Original as my favorite BBQ sauce.
I have been seeing a lot of new products with the Weber label. Their seasoning mixes are good. Try the Chicago Steak Rub - fantastic. I have also found some Weber marinade mixes I like, such as their Chipotle marinade. Works great on pork.
That said, when I saw a whole line of BBQ sauces, I thought I should give them a try as I was out of Bullseye at the time. I bought bottles of Weber's Original, Hickory Smoke and Spicy. They're all good. The Original has a stronger tomato flavor. The spicy has a little kick to it. The Hickory smoke is my favorite of the three.
So last week I bought a bottle of Bullseye Original (the hometown favorite) and did a non-blind taste test of the four sauces.
For me the Bullseye is still the best with a richer fuller flavor and the Weber Hickory Smoke is second. I can do without the others. Separately, I had SO taste all four and her first and second agreed with mine. (We are a match made in heaven).
Weber also makes a sweeter sauce but I skipped that one as I don't like overly sweet sauces.
Consider trying one or more of the Weber products.
