We've said it before and we'll say it again: barbecue sauce is magic.
Tangy, spicy, smoky, or sweet, the best sauce will transform a piece of meat from your average entree to a juicy, flavorful, transcendent rite of summertime.
In the past, we've chosen the 5 best barbecue sauces made by champion pitmasters in the competitive 'cue circuit.
Now we want to know:
What is your favorite store-bought barbecue sauce? We're on a hunt for the nation's best. So here's how this works:
