Take our Original Sauce Beautiful, hand it a lit match, and back away slowly. The Hot version is built on the same championship tomato-based recipe, but with a serious bump in heat from cayenne and chilies. It’s spicy enough to make your eyes water a little, but the flavor never takes a back seat to the burn — you still get that sweet-tangy-smoky thing we’re known for, just with teeth.
This is the sauce you reach for when you want your ribs to fight back a little. Glaze pork ribs, slather on hot wings, dunk burnt ends, stir it into chili, or spike your bloody mary with it. It’s also dangerously good brushed on a smoked sausage or a thick pork chop.
We make the Hot for people who think the Original is “pretty good, but…” Jim had a soft spot for spice — he used to say he liked his food with enough heat to remind you that you were still alive. This one’s for him, and for anyone else who believes a little sweat is part of a good meal.
Championship Legacy
By Lee & Michael Quessenberry — continuing the exact recipes of two-time World Champion Pitmaster Jim Quessenberry and the Arkansas Trav'ler Cooking Team. Same championship flavors. Same small-batch approach. Same "We put the Q in BBQ!" attitude.
