From Grandpa’s Kitchen to Your Table
Every family has recipes passed down through generations. But few recipes survive the test of time — and fewer still manage to grow into something that touches the lives (and taste buds) of so many.
At G.W.S BBQ Sauce, our story starts with one man: George W. Smith, our grandfather. He wasn’t a chef or a culinary professional. He was a backyard pitmaster, a passionate cook, and a flavor experimenter long before food trends ever existed.
He’d spend his weekends in the kitchen, mixing and blending sauces from scratch — adding a pinch of this, a splash of that, until he had something that made people stop mid-bite and ask, “What is this sauce?”
What began as a humble attempt to elevate his Sunday cookouts quickly became the most talked-about element of every family gathering.
Someone Was Paying Attention…
Unbeknownst to George, his son — our father — was watching closely. He didn’t just enjoy the sauce. He studied it.
Years later, our dad took that original formula, respected every ingredient, and added his own twist. More depth. More heat. More balance. He kept what worked and perfected the rest.
That’s the sauce we have today — a recipe rooted in tradition, refined through time, and passed down with pride.
Why We Do It
We started G.W.S BBQ Sauce Inc. not just to sell sauce — but to share our story. We believe that what goes into the bottle matters as much as what comes out of it:
- Family
- Hard work
- Real ingredients
- And a whole lot of love
If you’ve tasted G.W.S, you’re tasting a piece of our heritage.
From Our Family to Yours
We’re proud to bring our sauces to tables across the country — and we’re just getting started. Whether you’re a fan of bold spice, sweet twists, or classic smokiness, there’s a flavor waiting for you.
Thanks for being part of the journey.
Now fire up that grill — and pass the sauce.
