Firebug Grill'n Sauce wins American Royal 2013 Contest
 

My pal Mr. Doggity says Firebug just won the 1st place for the American Royal Sauce competition. We've talked about it here on our site many times. It's great stuff. Here's their facebook page:

Congrats!

Wait! Wut? It's only Tuesday.

The sauces had to be turned in for judging about a week ago. I think they just announced the sauce results today, in advance of the meat competition this weekend coming up. Meats will be judged over the weekend contest.

Congrats, Shannon! How did Doggity's sauce do?

How is this sauce versus Rufus Teague Touch o' Heat? That's the best sauce I've tasted maybe ever.

I don't think he won anything. The category Shannon won was "Tomato-Hot" category of sauce, according to Mr. Doggity.

The Hy-Vee where I usually buy Firebug quit carry it (350 Highway in Raytown). Any other good spots to pick it up?

Primo store bought sauce

Its pretty good, but I prefer Cowtown Night of the Living BBQ.

Firebug is my personal favorite just nudging out Blues Hog.

You can usually get it at McGonigals. I think A Thyme For Everything in Downtown LS carries it but it's pricey there.

Next time I go to BBQ's Galore, I'll ask them to order some. They had Rufus Teague, a generous batch of Gates & Bryants, Stubb's and others but I haven't seen Firebug.

Thanks for the tip!

It was a bit pricey at Hy-Vee (4.99 or 5.49 a bottle or some such). Will have to check out McGonigals next time I am out by Ward Parkway.

Thanks for the info!

$5 is pretty standard for the stuff. That's what I pay Shannon per bottle in person. In Boutique stores, it's more.
