Our Story

It was never supposed to leave the KITCHEN…

For three generations, it stayed a family secret — ladled over ribs, brushed on brisket, and shared around the family table. But some folks just couldn’t get enough. Before long, jars were quietly making their way from the trunk of a car into the hands of loyal customers.

That’s how the “Moonshiners of Barbeque Sauce” were born.

The recipe has been in our family for generations, and we still make it the same way today: real ingredients, real smoke, no fillers, no shortcuts, and no bullshit. Every bottle is made the hard way — because that’s the right way.

What began as a family tradition became a loyal following. Now we’re sharing it with the rest of America.

Welcome to the Black Market.

We’ve been perfecting our flavors well before the early ’90s… Though it is still debatable for just exactly how long. Time flies when you are having fun and we take pride in what we deliver to you!

The Show-Me State

Born in the HEART of America.

Missouri is about as American as it gets — the literal and cultural crossroads of the nation, where Midwestern work ethic meets Southern charm and the spirit of the Wild West, creating a microcosm of America itself.

From the Spirit of St. Louis and the legacy of Charles Lindbergh, to the Gateway to the West and the barbecue capital of Kansas City. From the birthplace of ragtime, jazz, and the blues, to the land of Mark Twain, the James Gang, and the great exploration of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. From the mighty USS Missouri (BB‑63) to generations of hardworking Americans, Veterans, and First Responders who built this country, Missouri’s story is woven into America’s history.

If America has a flavor, it starts right here.
