Blues Hog Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce combines rich raspberry sweetness with smoky chipotle heat for a bold twist on classic American barbecue sauce. Sweet, tangy and slightly smoky, this sauce stands out from traditional BBQ flavours by delivering a fruity kick that works brilliantly on smoked meats, grilled chicken, burgers and even creative sides and appetisers.
Packed into a convenient 709g squeeze bottle, Raspberry Chipotle has become a favourite among backyard BBQ cooks, competition pitmasters and burger shops looking for something a little different without losing that authentic barbecue feel. The raspberry brings a smooth jammy sweetness while the chipotle peppers add smoky warmth and depth rather than aggressive heat.
Like many Blues Hog sauces, this one is widely used as a base for custom competition BBQ sauces thanks to its balanced flavour profile and glazing consistency. Whether you're smoking pork ribs, glazing wings, brushing burgers or building loaded fries, this sauce adds sweet smoky complexity that keeps people coming back for another bite.

π€Who is Sydney BBQsβ
MeetΒ Erik & Suzie, the dynamic duo behind Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries!
Our journey began in 2019, amidst the whirlwind of early parenthood. We decided to embark on a little side venture, leveraging our shared passion of BBQ. Having grown up with family BBQs, almost on a weekly basis, charcoal and sizzling grills felt like old friends to us.Our humble beginnings saw us selling charcoal from the confines of our garage. To our surprise, the demand was huge, with pallet loads flying off the shelves faster than we could stock them. It was clear we had stumbled upon something special. Fast forward five years, and our little side gig has blossomed into a comprehensive online emporium. From charcoal to rubs, grills to rotisseries, and an array of accessories including spit baskets, gyro discs, skewers, gloves, smoker tubes, and beyond, we've got all your BBQ needs covered.But it doesn't stop there. With loyal customers all over Australia, we're thrilled to announce the next chapter in our story: The grand opening of our very ownΒ shopfront. It's been an incredible journey, and we couldn't have done it without the unwavering support of our BBQ community. Here's to many more years of sizzling success!
Weβve built Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries with passion, and our customers have been a huge part of that journey. See what they say about us!
