Blue Kuna Smokehouse Award-winning BBQ in Plymouth, MI. Slow-smoked meats, Michigan-crafted sauces, and scratch-made sides.

Ranked #10 on the 2026 Detroit Free Press / Chevy Detroit Top 10 New Restaurants & Experiences list, and 2026 Hour Magazine Best Of Finalist. In 2015, Blue Kuna set out to prove BBQ could be bold, delicious, and better for you. Inspired by Michigan’s orchards and lakeshores, Chef Kuna created sauces that capture the true spirit of the Mitten State-without compromise. From our start at local farmers markets, Blue Kuna became known for authentic, small-batch flavor. Today, we offer 100% vegan, all-natural BBQ sauces and spice rubs, made with real Michigan fruit and premium spices. Our recipes have no high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, or artificial additives. With lower calories and sugar than most brands, enjoying real BBQ flavor is easier and more satisfying. Choosing the right BBQ sauce should be simple and worry-free. That’s why we focus on bold flavors and clean ingredients-so you always know what you’re getting. Whether you’re a health-conscious foodie, plant-based eater, or just crave authentic Michigan taste, Blue Kuna is BBQ that loves you back. Chef Kuna also offers catering for private parties and special events, bringing Michigan hospitality and unforgettable flavor to your table. Taste the difference with Blue Kuna-where every bottle is a Michigan memory, and every meal is a moment you can feel good about.

September deal: Six 12oz bottles of bbq sauce for $60. Get it before September ends!

No two sauces in this lineup taste alike. Sweet, smoky, fruity, fiery, and tangy.

🔥 Detroit Ol’ Smokey (Crowd Pleaser): A thick tomato-and-molasses classic loaded with smoked paprika. The essential, all-purpose pit sauce.

🍒 Traverse City Cherry Bay (Local Favorite): Sweet, tart, and complex. Real cherries meet molasses and warm baking spice for a sauce unlike anything else on the shelf.

🍎 Mackinaw Island Apple Smash (Essential for Ribs): Real apple c***r simmered with brown sugar and warm spice. Orchard-sweet, sticky, and built for glazing.

🌶️ A Taste of Devil’s Night (For Spice Lovers): A calibrated three-pepper heat ladder. Ancho, Cayenne, & Habanero over a rich, smoky-sweet base.

🛡️ Nova Scotian Viking Vinegar (For BBQ Purists): Bold, tangy, and vinegar-forward. Cuts through rich, smoked meats with a sharp, savory bite.
