Heath Riles Tangy Vinegar BBQ Sauce is a bright, peppered, slightly sweet vinegar-style BBQ sauce that brings bold, mouthwatering flavor to ribs, pork, chicken, and more. Unlike traditional vinegar sauces that can taste sharp or one-dimensional, this award-winning recipe balances apple cider vinegar, distilled vinegar, spices, and a touch of sweetness for a clean, craveable finish.
Built to shine on ribs and pork but versatile enough for nearly anything off the grill or smoker, this sauce also works as a creative base for marinades and dressings. Mix it with honey and you’ve got a tangy-sweet drizzle or salad dressing that cuts through rich, grilled flavors.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
