The best baste on the planet — and it sticks to your meat

The one that built the brand. Blues Hog Original is a thick, sweet, molasses-rich barbecue sauce with just the right amount of tang and warmth — voted "best baste on the planet" and a People's Choice winner at the American Royal. It clings, it caramelises, and it's the sauce 90% of competition teams keep within arm's reach.

The flavour

Big brown-sugar sweetness up front, a rounded tomato-and-vinegar body, and a gentle spiced warmth on the finish. Thick and glossy — built to grip a rib and set into a sticky, shiny glaze.

How to use it

  • Brush over pork ribs in the last 20 minutes of the cook so the sugars catch and set.
  • Toss through pulled pork for instant sweet-sticky depth.
  • Glaze chicken pieces as they come off the grill.
  • Cut it 50/50 with apple juice for a mop that layers flavour over a long cook — the pitmaster's move.

In the bottle

Thick and glossy in an easy squeeze bottle — pours slow, clings hard, glazes clean with no decanting.

Ingredients & Dietary

Ingredients: Brown sugar, ketchup (tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, salt, spices, onion powder, natural flavour), apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, spices including mustard & paprika, Worcestershire sauce (distilled vinegar, molasses, water, corn syrup, salt, caramel colour, sugar, spices, anchovies (fish), natural flavour (soy), tamarind extract, sulphiting agents), vanilla extract, dried garlic.

Allergens: Contains soy and fish (anchovies). Dietary: Blues Hog list this sauce as gluten free — always check the physical label.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl Rubb, The Rub Smuggler

If Darryl could only smuggle one bottle past customs, it'd be this. Rub a rack with Rum and Que Rib Rocker Pork Rub, smoke it low, then glaze with Original in the back stretch. A spoon of Tracklements Sticky Fig Relish on the side plays right into that sweet, sticky finish.

🏴‍☠️ Darryl's Secret: Apple-Mop Pork Ribs

Half sauce, half juice, all getaway.

You'll need: 1 rack pork spare ribs (about 1.5kg); 3 tbsp pork rub; ½ cup Blues Hog Original; ½ cup apple juice.

Do this:

  1. Rub the ribs all over and smoke at 120°C.
  2. From hour two, mix the sauce 50/50 with the apple juice and mop the ribs every 45 minutes.
  3. After about 4½ hours, when the rack bends and cracks, brush on neat Original for the last 20 minutes so it sets glossy.
  4. Rest 10 minutes, then slice between the bones.

Why it works: Cutting the sauce for the mop layers flavour over the long cook without burning the sugar early.
