I'm looking at purchasing a bottle of hot sauce... and I'm kinda stumped on what to get... I dont mind spending $30 - $40 bucks on a bottle.
I've tried Pyrodiablo... what a fun 35minutes that was. The bottle is basicaly for show, and for the tough guys I know who think they can handle the 'real hot stuff' ... just like I thought I could... :roll:
Is Blair's 3AM best for the price?
Someone please enlighten me... thanks, in advance!

if your intrested i have a bottle of blair 3am (opened) that i would be willing to sell to you cheaper than a unopened bottle. there are alot of people here that can zero in on a good price so i dont over price it. very little used i could send you a pic of it.

That could be worth looking into... How much is left in the bottle?
And is this stuff hotter than Pyrodiablo? Thats really the only relevant sauce I can compare too... since I havent had the golden oppurtunity to try the rest.
Someone school me.
However, Bubba... just let me know in due time, thanks.

Jamie -
Pyrodiablo has been tested at around 1,500,000 scoville units. There are at least 10 "sauces" on the market that are just as hot or hotter, however some cost much much more then $30-$40.
Blair's 3AM typically costs betwen $35 ~ $40 and rates at 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 Scoville Units
Da' Bomb Final Answer typically costs betwen $35 ~ $40 and rates at 1,500,000 Scoville Units
Much cheaper, but not quite as hot would be Mad Dog's Revenge which shouldn't cost more then $20 and clocks in at 1,000,000 Scoville Units
I love Blair's but I would recommend you keep Blair's 3AM for a collection and save yourself the headache of trying to open the bottle, the wax on top is a pain in the a@@ to get through.

HEY! He ain't edumacated yet! None of MY sauces are on that list! And we make Dave's insanity taste like Tabasco!
BTW, Are those all official scovie ratings, Sweat? We're wonding how key it is to be tested... and I might add, curious about the cost.

There are a few places to send your sauces to to have them tested for Scoville units. Unless of course, you want to invest in a spectral chromatograph and do it yourself.

Yes - Offical ratings - You can send your sauces to be tested, last I checked it runs about $500 per testing - spendy that's for sure.

Agreed, Sweat, very pricey. However, it does beat the cost of a spectral chromatograph, which runs about $20,000 even used. I do believe the Fiery Foods site has information regarding where to send it. I used to speak to a gentleman on that site via e-mail regarding this and other related stuff, he went by the name of Chromtec. He stated he worked in a lab which creates the capsaicin bear repellent.

That could be worth looking into... How much is left in the bottle?
And is this stuff hotter than Pyrodiablo? Thats really the only relevant sauce I can compare too... since I havent had the golden oppurtunity to try the rest.
Someone school me.
However, Bubba... just let me know in due time, thanks.
only about 10 drops out of the bottle...the wax is off i can send you a pic if you want..your call

$500??? :shock:
Can't I just say they're really, really, really hot?
Camoly... ya know I think that the surprise that people get over how hot my stuff actually is, is worth not having the ratings. ;)

Yea, I'm sure I will. Thanks again for the offer.
Like I said though, I'm impatient... not my finest trait.
Also, I ordered it priority, how long does that usualy take? Take into account I'm in Canada, and I do believe this is coming from the States... anyone have a clue?
