Rib Mop Sauce for Weber Kettle Grill

When you’re working the classic Weber kettle with a two-zone fire, you need a mop that holds up to both heat and smoke — one that won’t burn off or overpower the meat. This version of our Pit Glaze Mop blends savory depth with a smooth touch of agave to give your ribs that perfect balance of bite, bark, and shine.

It’s built for the long haul: apply during the indirect cook to layer flavor and hit it again over direct heat to finish with a caramelized kiss.

Flavor: Deep, savory, smoky with mild heat and a touch of natural sweetness
Best For: St. Louis ribs, long cooks, or layering glaze
