Rufus Teague Touch O' Heat BBQ Sauce 15.25 oz — Molasses-Maple Glaze with Warm Heat, Gluten-Free

Rufus Teague Touch O' Heat is a thick, molasses-forward barbecue sauce with a warm, lingering kick—made to glaze ribs, finish grilled dishes, or add smoky-sweet heat to vegetables and sauces.

This 15.25 oz bottle delivers a balanced blend of sweet and spicy, built on molasses with maple and a touch of whiskey notes that char and caramelize under heat. Crafted without high-fructose corn syrup or MSG and certified gluten-free, Non-GMO, and Kosher, it’s formulated to stick to food while still pouring smoothly—ideal for both competition pitmasters and weekend grillers.

How does Touch O' Heat perform on ribs and other grilled meats?

Touch O' Heat clings to meat and forms a glossy, caramelized finish when exposed to the grill or smoker. Its viscosity helps create a sticky glaze without becoming runny, while the molasses-maple base deepens flavor during cooking.

• Thick texture seals onto ribs and brisket for a lacquered finish
• Molasses and maple caramelize under direct heat for richer taste
• Subtle whiskey notes add complexity without overpowering
• Pourable enough for basting and finishing touches

Can I use this sauce for vegetarian or pantry recipes?

Absolutely—its sweet-with-heat profile makes it a versatile condiment beyond meat. Stir into chili, toss with roasted vegetables, brush on corn, or mix into plant-based pulled sandwiches to add depth and a spicy-sweet lift.

• Works as a glaze for grilled vegetables and tofu
• Enhances sauces, stews, and baked dishes with smoky sweetness
