I've always used Kraft BBQ sauce, but am growing tired of it. An recommendations for a replacement? Needs to be readily available, like at WalMart! Thanks! Greg

Greg,
I like me some Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ sauce. I used to be partial to Kraft Honey BBQ but they stopped carrying it at Target about a year ago so I switched to Sweet Baby Ray’s. The one thing that I despise in any BBQ sauce is hickory smoke flavoring, eck!
If you like Kraft I think you’ll like Sweet Baby Ray’s.

Anything from Sweet Baby Ray's
Many times I make my own BBQ sauce from ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Other times I use packaged ones, and agree Sweet Baby Ray's is good. I've also been very pleased with French's Cattlemen's in various flavors. It comes in an 18 oz. bottle or a one gallon jug. Most recently I bought Stubb's, but haven't opened it yet.
Bull's Eye! Top-rated by America's Test Kitchen, as well.

It's superb! Memphis sweet, Carolina mustard, and sweet&tangy original! Otherwise I favor any where the frist ingredient isn't corn syrup or suagr, but tomatoes or water.

I too make my own, many ingredients with a complex flavor, I've never found anything off the shelf that has the smokey sweetness with a kick that I like.
Sweet Baby Rays. Have the Vadalia right now.
They all taste the same to me so I don't have a favorite. I honestly don't think I'm a BBQ sauce person. When my dad used to BBQ -- as in grill over charcoal -- chicken halves, they were basted regularly with a mixture of white wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. He never, ever used a ketchup based sauce.
I've also noticed that when I do country style BBQ ribs in the pressure cooker, even after giving the cooker a good scrubbing after use, it still smells like BBQ sauce months later. When I'm ordering something off a menu, as soon as I see that BBQ sauce is slathered on it, I opt out. For me, it has the same effect as green bell peppers -- dominating and diminishing the flavors of whatever I'm eating. I can do ketchup, but BBQ sauce, rarely. I prefer savory over sweet.
If anyone has suggestions for a sauce that's not so overly sweet though, I'd be interested.

I too generally make my own, but lately I've been cheating by starting with 1/2 a bottle (the squirt bottle I use to apply the sauce) of store-bought, usually SBR's or Kraft, then doctor it with vinegar, molasses, garlic, etc.. Shake it all up, squirt on, and brush. I prefer 2 thin applications to one heavier one. The additional ingredients used depend on what I'm using the sauce for. I'd never use the same sauce on chicken that I would use with pulled pork.
I agree that overly sweet is not that desirable.
Greg- maybe try experimenting a little with your trusty Kraft by adding a little somethin' somethin' to it!

Maull's from St. Louis. Believe I read something several years ago that St. Louis over-indexes significantly on bbq sauce consumption at supermarkets. They had a weird hiccup a couple years ago closing down (they no longer have their Patio Size--a unique 24 ounce tall bottle which accompanied many a bbq in St. Louis).

McClard's
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">I usually make my own but when using store bought we use McClard's. Not too sweet with a little kick at the end. We find it at Kroger usually. Their restaurant is about 1 1/2 hours from us and it's a real treat to go there to eat. </span>
