Here in the Florida, we tend to think about good BBQ Sauce coming from the south. There's this Big Jake woodsman from Minnesota that proves you can find awesome BBQ Sauce anywhere.

Big Jake's BBQ comes from Minnesota and is the perfect blend of hickory, honey, and spices. The use of honey in the barbecue sauce is what sets Big Jake's apart from the crowd. His buddy Dub also has a broad offering of BBQ Dry Rubs and seasonings.

Years ago Big Jake developed the barbeque sauce recipe for what would become BIG JAKE’S North Woods Style Barbeque Sauce. It was the perfect blend of hickory, honey, and spices that reminded him of the homemade grilled flavor of the great outdoors. Family and friends agreed and Big Jake continued to make his homemade barbeque sauce recipe for them for years. It wasn’t long before he discovered that we had stumbled upon a recipe for something special that everyone wanted more of.

He knew that he wanted to share his special barbeque sauce with as many people as we could. The use of honey in the barbeque sauce was what set his apart. The honey gives BIG JAKE’S the glazing quality for grilling recipes and a certain sweetness, while the hickory gives the barbeque sauce a distinct smoky flavor that is usually found straight off the grill.

At ArmadilloPepper.com you can find Big Jake's Apple Honey, Strong & Bold, Hickory Honey and Roasted Garlic BBQ Sauces. We also have four Dry Rubs from his pal Dub: A Cut Above Beef Seasoning, 5 Little Piggies, Danny's Rib Rub and Gone Wild Game Rub. Look for Big Jake's Recipes on our blog during the month of May.

The folks at Bear-Man have come-up with some incredible BBQ Sauces (Black Bear Boogie, Sap-Happy Golden Bear and Growlin' Grizzly) and a special Tummy Rub. Sap-Happy is made with pure maple syrup.

Winners of several awards including 3rd place in the NBBQ Association's Fruit/Spicy BBQ category and 2nd place in the 2007 NASFT Outstanding Cooking Sauce category.

Come on, you don't believe that bears can dance? Well neither did we, until one amazing camping trip. Lured by the scent of ole' Barry Conway's (a.k.a. Bear-Man) barbecue, a family of black bears found Bear-Man's homemade sauce and started lapping it up. Overjoyed with their tasty find, one by one, the bears rose on their hind feet. And, then it began.....with a little wiggle of their bear behinds.....and turned into full-tilt Black Bear Boogie!

Big Bob Gibson's Award Winning BBQ Sauces

Since 1925 folks have been enjoying the unique taste of Big Bob Gibson's award winning BBQ Sauces. Friends and family were first treated to the white BBQ Sauce secret-recipe on chicken and pork at weekend barbecues where boards were nailed to trees for tables.

This white barbecue sauce is an all purpose sauce (Don't let its color fool you). Its tangy peppery taste goes well with poultry, pork, seafood, and wild game.

We have 3 other award-winning BBQ Sauces from Big Bob: Habanero Red, Mustard and Championship Red. You can also shop for Big Bob Gibson's Seasoning and Dry Rub.
