How to Choose BBQ Sauce
Flavor and texture matter more than a generic heat label. Compare vinegar-forward Carolina-style sauces with tomato-based sweet or smoky options, and review fruit, pepper and mustard ingredients. For grilling, follow safe cooking temperatures and the sauce maker's timing directions; sugar-rich sauces may brown quickly when exposed to high heat.
