Dreamland. Started in Tuscaloosa Alabama. Since gone large.
Famous Dave's Georgia Mustard. For some reason, available at Menards.
These aforementioned are vinegar based.
Locally, a brand called Cookies BBQ. They start with grape jelly, I think? Too sweet for me.

NFN, Famous Dave's has a bunch of flavors.

sweet baby rays or sticky fingers. my wife likes bulls eye original

I like Stubbs spicy. Don't care for sweet bbq sauce. Sweet on meat just ruins it for me. Personal choice, not intended to apply to anyone else.

Berrier’s Show-Me Bar-B-Q sauce from Columbia, MO.

Not alot of BBQers here eh..?

Remember when there were only 2 choices. Open Pit & Kraft.
Then came Hunts all natural.
Dick Van Dyke sold more BBQ sauce than anyone!!!
Slammer!!!

I can't say it's my favorite since I don't make or use much BBQ sauce, but this one by Ladybird Johnson was said to be pretty popular back in the day.  And it has the great advantage of being simple. If you want to thicken it, substituting some tomato paste for ketchup would work.  Or you could just simmer it down more.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• Salt, pepper, red pepper (flakes?), garlic, to taste

Instructions

1. Melt butter in sauce pan.
2. Add other ingredients, bring to a low boil.
3. Pour over meat to be barbecued.

This is the one I ended up getting--no HFCS!

Reubenstump's recipe sounds good too--very similar to Al's mother's recipe.

Dreamland for Birmingham, Alabama

I'm going to order some Dreamland sauce thanks for the tip. I've been looking for a thin, vinegar based sause with no luck. That is the ONLY sauce I want on a BBQ pork sandwich, and with slaw please! I grew up in Alabama and "Q" meant pulled pork on bun with slaw and a thin sauce. These days I only find the thick ketchup-based sauce which just covers up the flavor of the meat, and the slaw is served as a side dish. No, it's an essential part of the sandwich!

Hmmm... Ladybird and Al's mother may have been about the same age?  A sort of generational thing?

Best marinated meat I ever had was a huge brisket made by a guy from Texas. All he told us was it had coffee in the marinade. He would not divulge the rest.

I only use BBQ sauce for slow cooked crock pot ribs - baby back or St. Louis style. Before I started caring about blood sugar I used a mix of Sweet Baby Ray's sauces with a little Ah-So Duk sauce added along with some apple sauce, cinnamon, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Key to fall off the bone finish is to start off by broiling the ribs for a short time (5 minutes or so on both sides) before cutting up and putting them in the slow cooker with the sauce.

Now for store bought I use no sugar added SBR or G Hughes no sugar .

Tried this on-line recipe from Carolyn Ketchum of All Day I Dream About Food for home made. Pretty good.

I'll have to try the LBJ recipe.

Brown sugar and apple cider vinegar sound good.  Not sure how well they'd work together or fight each other, but it would definitely be worth a try.  I'd skip the liquid smoke and go for maybe... chipotle peppers (dried/smoked anchos)?  Some sort of smoked peppers from the grill - ancho, leutschauer, sweet bell, whatever.  Definitely garlic.  Always garlic.
