Pitmaster Original BBQ Sauce

This Pitmaster BBQ Sauce is our original smoky, sweet recipe. Also called our "Kansas City-style" BBQ Sauce because it represents the thick and sweet BBQ sauce style made famous by Kansas City Pitmasters. 


When most Americans think barbecue sauce, they likely think of Kansas City-Style. This sticky-sweet barbecue sauce-style was meant to be brushed on ribs. For our recipe, Legendary Pitmaster Ed Mitchell went back to an era before corn syrup reigned supreme and sweetened ours with butternut squash, carrots, and a touch of light brown cane sugar. It has the same texture and sweetness of most modern sauces, but without all the added sugar. Thick and sweet, you can freely pour this natural ingredient BBQ staple on whatever just came off the smoker, the grill, or the stove top—guilt-free.

Ingredients: Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Vegetable Puree (Butternut Squash, Carrot), Brown Sugar, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Garlic Powder, Allspice, Onion Powder, Natural Liquid Smoke (Water, Natural Smoke)

WHY CHOOSE KANSAS CITY-STYLE

A proper KC BBQ sauce should be glossy, gently sweet, and ready to lacquer ribs. Hall of Fame Pitmaster Ed Mitchell went back to an era before corn syrup took over, sweetening ours with butternut squash, carrots, and just a touch of light brown cane sugar. Same thick, sticky texture your family expects. No corn syrup, no artificial sweeteners, no compromise. Pour it on ribs, pulled pork, burgers, or roasted vegetables and never think twice.

CLEAN INGREDIENTS, REAL PIT FLAVOR

Tomato, vegetables, spices, and natural smoke. Nothing on this label you need to Google. Built from pantry-simple ingredients that deliver reliable bark and a crowd-pleasing finish straight from the bottle. Warm it slightly and brush during the last minutes on the grill for a glossy, caramelized finish, or pass it at the table for a classic KC close. All-natural, gluten-free, and non-GMO. This is what BBQ sauce looked like before the industry got involved.
