Made to mop, glaze, and finish.
Goes on: Pork
Trailblazin' Tang is a Carolina mustard BBQ sauce, sharp and tangy the way the Low Country pours it.
Regional favorite
South Carolina tradition.
Mustard forward and tangy. The gold the Midlands built its whole-hog tradition around.
How to run it
Sauce it right.
- 01
Cook the protein most of the way naked. Sauce is a finish, not a marinade.
- 02
Brush or mop it on in the last 10 to 15 minutes.
- 03
Let it tack up over the heat. Watch the sugars, they scorch fast.
- 04
Hit it again at the table. That's the coat that counts.

Trailblazin' Tang is a Carolina mustard BBQ sauce, sharp and tangy the way the Low Country pours it.
Jinx'em Scents runs this Carolina mustard BBQ sauce on a mustard base with just enough sweet to round the edge and zero tomato. It comes from a hunting brand, not a sauce house, so it was built to earn its keep on wild game as much as on the grill. Tangy and gold, it is the mustard-forward answer to the usual red bottle.
Mustard sauces are made for fatty pork and rich game, so this one cuts through where a sweet red sauce would just sit on top. Mop it on late, brush it over birds in the last stretch, or set it out as a tangy dip for whatever comes off the fire.
