Made in America BBQ Sauces.

A Backyard BBQ Tradition

Kentucky's Smokin' Grill started in 1973 as a family picnic and barbecue for a 4th of July celebration. Over a period of about 10 years, our cookouts went from family picnic events to a growing hobby that blossomed into a part-time business.

Kentucky BBQ in the Good Ol' Days

During the early years, we tried various available BBQ sauces. Some of them were acceptable as is, some needed a little attention, and some were beyond help.

We wanted to find the perfect BBQ sauce. We didn't want one with an overbearing vinegar twang and we didn't want one with a thin consistency (that stuff just slides off into the bottom of the grill when you add a little heat). We DID want a tasty sauce, smooth and pleasant so an individual wouldn't tire of it. Addictive is a good thing in barbecue sauce. Trust us on that!

If You Want Something Done Right?

Try as we might to find that perfect sauce prepackaged in a jar or bottle, we were unsuccessful. On a brighter note, the search (and a little desperation) finally lead us to our own refrigerator, and our spice cabinet, and on to our stove top. The original recipe, mixed and served on a ?Derby Day' many years ago, is the same recipe that you will find in every jar of our Original Kentucky's Smokin' Grill Concentrate sauce today!

The Hard Part: Pinning Down the Magic

The toughest job during the final stages of developing the perfect BBQ sauce was to come up with a standard formula for production. ?A touch of this' and ?a bit of that' doesn't translate well into a refined recipe. Until then, we thought eye of newt was only in witches' brew! (Just a little recipe humor for you).

No Compromises!

Once we perfected our recipe, we didn't want to make changes that would lower the quality of our creation in any way. We made the hard decision that if our production recipe required the addition of vinegar or preservatives to achieve an acceptable shelf life, we would not market our sauce!

When had the sauce tested for production, It qualified for extended shelf life right off the top of the stove. Much to our surprise, the sauce needed no modification! So, you see, it was meant to be ? and the Kentucky's Smokin' Grill legend was born and packaged up to share with the world.

The following is a reply from Kentuckys Smokin Grill to our question – "Are your products Made in America?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
