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

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

Pork ribs and pulled pork especially, plus chicken, brisket and burnt ends.
Is it gluten free?
Blues Hog list it as gluten free, but it does contain soy and fish (anchovies) — always confirm against the physical label if you have an allergy.
