The Story Behind Our BBQ Sauces

Each sauce in the Grill Society collection tells its own story, bringing authentic regional BBQ traditions to your Aussie barbie:

Carolina Gold draws inspiration from South Carolina’s famous mustard-based BBQ tradition, with our unique blend giving it an Aussie twist. Our Mini Hot Sauce collection combines American Jalapeño, Original, Green Chilli, and Habanero Hot sauces, offering multiple choices of heat and flavour. The Tennessee Original pays homage to American BBQ roots while being crafted for the Australian palate. We’ve spent countless hours at the grill, perfecting these recipes and testing them at backyard cookouts across the country. Our BBQ sauces are made using quality ingredients and time-tested methods to ensure consistent flavour in every bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do your sauces stay fresh after opening?

When stored properly in the refrigerator, our BBQ sauces stay fresh for up to 6 months after opening. For best results, always seal the bottle tightly after use and store it between 1-4°C. You’ll notice a “best before” date on each bottle, but with proper storage, your sauce will maintain its flavour and quality for months after opening.

Are your BBQ sauces gluten-free / vegan?

All our sauces except the Sweet Honey are vegan-friendly. The Sweet Honey BBQ contains natural honey. As for gluten, our Tennessee Original, Carolina Gold, Signature, Sweet Honey, Kickin’ Hot Sauce, are gluten-free. Our Signature BBQ, Sweet Honey BBQ, and Kickin’ Hot may contain soy sauce which has wheat as an ingredient. Check each product’s detailed ingredient list for specific dietary information.

Which sauce is best for beginners vs heat enthusiasts?

For beginners, we recommend starting with our Tennessee Original or Sweet Honey BBQ. These BBQ sauces offer classic barbecue flavours with mild heat levels that everyone can enjoy. For heat enthusiasts, our Kickin’ Hot Sauce packs serious heat from ghost peppers and habaneros, while our Mini Hot Sauce Collection offers a complex, medium-high heat profile. The Carolina Gold and Signature BBQ sit comfortably in the middle, perfect for those ready to step up their heat game.

Can these BBQ sauces be used as marinades?

Yes, all our BBQ sauces work brilliantly as marinades! For best results, marinate chicken for 2-4 hours, pork for 4-6 hours, and beef for 6-8 hours. Our Sweet Honey BBQ and Signature BBQ are particularly excellent for marinating as they contain natural sugars that help create a beautiful caramelised crust when grilled. Just remember to discard any leftover marinade that’s been in contact with raw meat.
