Classic Jalapeño vs Store Bought Jalapeño Sauce — What's the Difference?
Store bought jalapeño sauces are made for dipping and drizzling — not for the smoker. They're thin, they run off during a long cook, and they don't build flavor under low and slow heat. Smoky Mountain Spread Classic Jalapeño is a thick pepper spread designed specifically for smoking meat. It stays on, caramelizes slowly, and builds bold jalapeño flavor layer by layer during a long cook.
