Even better, the Rufus Teague variety pack comes with five different sauces to shake up your grilling experience.

This sauce has stood the test of time. Stubbs brings some traditional Texas flavour to your pork and smoked ribs. This sauce is best for pork, although it’s versatility makes it a great match with anything you want to grill up. The original recipe dates back to 1968 and gets its sweetness from cane sugar, brown sugar and molasses, with no artificial sweeteners. It’s a tangy blend of tomatoes, vinegar and plenty of black pepper that will treat your meat right.
The Montgomery Inn restaurant in Ohio claims to have the best ribs in the world, but you don’t have to book a trip to get a taste. Their famous BBQ sauce is now available in bottles for you to add to your ribs at home. This thick, spicy sauce blends the classic BBQ flavours of tomatoes, sweet molasses and a perfected mix of spices. Despite Montgomery Inn’s claim to fame being their ribs, this sauce is great on everything. Add it to your wings, your pulled pork, or even to your baked beans to add an extra something special.
If you are looking for something a little different, go for this Korean-style sauce which is perfect not only for Korean barbecue but for all of your grilled meat. You could even add it to your fries for an extra kick! This sauce is packed with flavours like ginger, apple, pear and red pepper. There’s no need to worry if you can’t handle too much heat, this sauce is extremely flavourful without the spice.
If you prefer your barbecue with its heat turned up to max, or if you want to test the limits of your spice tolerance, this is the sauce for you. This sauce ranks in at 250,000 – 1,000,000 on the Scoville Heat scale (a habanero pepper ranks in at 100,000 – 350,000 for an idea of what you’re in for). This sauce will have you begging for a cool summer drink, but the flavour will have you braving the pain to eat more.
