"Pogey bait" is a reference to sweets or candy, which was in usage in the military as early as 1918. The term alludes to food (and other luxuries) rarely afforded to grunts in the field.
Sweet. Smooth. Crowd-Pleaser.
Pogey Bait Sweet Honey Sauce is your all-purpose sweet BBQ sauce designed to turn any backyard cook into the fan favorite. We built this one for folks who want flavor without the gimmicks—just real ingredients and bold, honey-sweet BBQ that works on everything you fire up.
Whether you’re glazing ribs, finishing pulled pork, dipping chicken tenders, or letting the kids slather it on everything in sight, Pogey Bait delivers that classic sweet BBQ hit with a clean finish. Not too thick, not too runny—just the perfect pour.
Crafted in small batches here in Wisconsin and inspired by the treats Marines would stash away during deployments (a.k.a. “pogey bait”), this sauce brings comfort-food flavor with Burn Pit BBQ quality in every drop.
If you like your BBQ sweet—but not artificial, not syrupy, and not weak on flavor—this is the bottle that earns a permanent spot next to the grill.
Use it however you want — this sauce plays well with anything that hits your grill or smoker.

Pogey Bait Sweet Honey BBQ Sauce – Sweet, Sticky, All-Purpose Honey BBQ Flavor
All our friends and family love when I BBQ. And they should, the sauces that I get from burnpit are phenomenal! Our favorite is the pogey bait, which is a honey BBQ. I tend to mix a little of the QRF in it to give it a little boldness. It's great on chicken, ribs, and anything else you want to throw on the grill. Try it on corn.

I love the rub for fish and other meats. I use it on fish all the time. The rub I just bought ground pounder garlic I am going to use for homemade chicken soup. I love all the products due to being gluten free.

I’m not sure if it was Ben or Greg that I met at the Waukesha County Fair, but I’m always on the hunt for premium sauces so I purchased Pogey Bait along with All Ration and Ground Pounder BBQ rubs. All the products are truly phenomenal. I’ve since purchased the Freedom Bundle sauces and most recently purchased a stock pile of Pogey Bait. This has become my daughter’s favorite BBQ sauce and she literally puts it on everything. If the bottle gets low, she hounds me to purchase more because she doesn’t want to go back to a certain popular National brand. Thank you, Ben and Greg!

I think this sauce redefines BBQ. It’s the next level on classic flavors. It’s the whole family’s favorite go-to for BBQ sauce. Do yourself a “flavor” and buy a bottle… or two… or three!

First time trying the honey bbq and my family loved it. I had been using Buffalo Wild Wings honey bbq but this stuff is better. More expensive but worth it in my opinion. Love this sauce. Looking forward to trying some of the other ones!

They had a table at my local Harley-Davidson dealership during another of the dealership's parties. The guys seemed nice, so I though I would try a bottle. You know, help a veteran small business out. Opened the bottle today and I am more than pleasantly surprised. I doesn't say anywhere, but there is a small amount of heat. Heat really isn't the right word to use, more of a tang and I like. I could see myself purchasing more of this. Can't wait to try on a nice slab of baby back ribs.
