The Original
Where it all began.
This is the one that started it all.
The Original is Scott’s Smoked Q’s signature sauce — the first sauce I ever made for the business, and the recipe has not changed since day one.
It starts sweet, then rolls into fresh garlic, a hint of oregano, and a savory finish that lingers just long enough to keep you coming back for another dip, drizzle, or bite.
Bold claim? This may be one of the best sauces you’ll ever taste.
I stand by it.
Perfect for: ribs, pulled pork, grilled chicken, burgers, meatloaf, meatballs, baked beans, sandwiches, fries, eggs, roasted vegetables, and dipping.
How to Use It
Brush it on ribs, chicken, pork, or burgers during the final minutes of cooking for a rich, caramelized glaze.
Use it straight from the bottle as a dipping sauce, stir it into baked beans, slather it on a pulled pork sandwich, or drizzle it over meatloaf, meatballs, roasted vegetables, fries, or eggs.
The Original does a lot more than BBQ — and it does it without trying too hard.
And yes — mix it with Carolina Gold. Sweet garlic meets tangy mustard, and things get dangerous fast.
