Open PitBlue Label Hickory Barbecue Sauce, 18 oz. (Pack of 12)

We use for BQ..... great product have used it for over 30 years... so glad we can buy it on line since no stores in Las Vegas carry the Hickory kind.

Love this product, been using it for years.

Here is a spoiler for BBQ Restaurants.. This is probably the sauce that was used in one of the larger ones that had that perfect sweet and savory BBQ. I know as My family used it in the 70'-80's in their Rib house.. Its got a slightly vinegar forward, spicy note when uncooked which I love.. When you marinate or cook with it , the vinegar tenderizes and leave a not overly sweet perfect BBQ. We cooked the ribs with the Open pit and then put bottles on the table with a mixture of Open Pit and Kraft hickory.. The Kraft gave the uncooked open pit the sweetness to pour on without cooking. I still like it straight out of the bottle We sold gallons of that mixture a night.. Need les to say TRY IT. You probably already had it a t that restaurant hat had those "Amazing" ribs..

My family has used this sauce to make bbq country style pork ribs starting with my grandmother (>45 yrs), and it is awesome.Try: 5-8 lbs country ribs. Roast covered in oven at 325 F single deep, with 1/2 cup added water, for 2.5 hrs. Increase temperatureto 350 F, remove cover, and coat top of ribs with this sauce. Add a 2nd coat after 20 minutes. Ribs will be ready after another 20to 30 minutes. They should melt in your mouth with a tangy & mildy sweet taste from sauce. You will use about 1 bottle for this recipe.I also use some sauce on the side as I eat the ribs. This is a dish I take to pot luck lunches and get rave reviews. I live in Californiabut bring several bottles back from midwest about twice a year from travel. Enjoy.

grew up with my Dad using Open Pit back in 50's and 60's. I drifted from this product to try others, which were good, but I have to say... the tang and sweetness combination of Open Pit is what I am back to. Unless grilling mass amounts of pork (whole pig cut up), then it's butter, cheap beer and some vinegar continually basted on the meat.

This product is not available in any local stores so when we are down to our last bottle or two we go ahead and order more by the case always assuring that we have some on hand. This seller was prompt in the delivery and we were pleased with the price. Will definitely order again.

I looove Open Pit barbecue sauce! It was a staple in our home, when I lived in Michigan. Since I haven't been able to find it in California, I was so excited for find it...and the price is right. I use it, in sooo many recipes, from Hawaiian Chicken to Barbecue Chicken salad. Oh, sheesh! Now, I'm hungry. I can't recommend Open Pit barbecue sauce more. It's a taste of home.

Open Pit is the BBQ sauce I learned to love growing up in Chicago - but it's not available here in Texas. So when I saw this on Amazon, I bought a case. It's different than what I grew up with - it really tastes strongly of vinegar. In subsequent research I found that Open Pit makes more varieties now than it did when I was a kid, so it would appear that's what I got despite the misleading "original" label. I found that heating it up in the microwave before using it drives off the vinegar and restores most of the "traditional" taste I remember, and the heat from the grill when I baste ribs does the same thing, so - lucky for me - it still comes out OK.
