ah makes sense

 

I was dying trying to eat blazin wings when the BWW by me first opened up years and years ago. Now I can order a side of blazin sauce for my fries and enjoy it (still break a sweat, though heh). Not sure if they made it less hot since then or if my tolerance went up.

 

Does anyone have any good references for scoville levels? I’ve been trying to see what some of my hot sauces are, but the numbers seem way to high.

 

Is this helpful?

 

with sauces it really depends on what other ingredients are involved, a chart like the one above is based purely on the peppers themselves.

 

I've ordered from Fuego Box a few times. Their online shop has a heat rating next to each sauce. So not quite Scoville levels but its pretty helpful.

This is actually very cool, but I meant more for the hot sauces themselves.

 

I thought maybe this would help as a frame of reference for the sauce scoville levels. For more specific answers you're probably going to have to visit the makers' websites and/or do some googling.

 

How Hot Is My Bottle Of Hot Sauce? | Hot Sauce Heat Scale

ive used this before for reference, but not sure who accurate it is. scovilles seem to really be on a sliding scale sometimes.

 

Depends on how hot the particular pepper harvest used in any given batch was. It can vary.

 

Yeah seems like it'd be hard to measure the actual scoville of a bottle of hot sauce. I'd agree with @Anthony_ , check out what peppers are used in a sauce, check out the scoville from the chart he posted and kinda base it off that.

 

Yeah peppers seem to vary quite a bit. Sometimes you buy jalapenos at the store and you're disappointed because they have hardly any heat and the next time you go and you take one bite you're like holy shit.

 

Yea I was trying to look up Sedret Aardvark and it said 50,000 - 250,000 and it seemed like such a wide scale. It made me think that maybe I can handle some more heat though. Then I read something that said it was only 5,000. Haha.

I just want to get a rough sense of what I’m actually consuming.

 

Look at what just arrived!

 

AW YEAH

I hope you like it as much as I do

 

yeah ive been in the same situation. just assume that what you read is somewhat true and go in with brazen confidence

 

i went ahead and ordered a bottle too based on all the positive feedback in here. let us know!

 

Haha. Yea, I just didn't want to think I was tougher than I actually am. I'd run around bragging about how 250,000 scoville is nothing for me, and then eat something that actually is that and pass out.

 

Damn, it's glorious

 

Sooo I used the Garlic Reaper with my burrito last night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for anyone looking for great flavor with some heat. Even a little dab gets your taste buds dancing

 

Bought the Garlic Reaper and Secret Aardvark on Amazon today. Woot!

 

Nice! Let us know what you think of that Reaper. I think its incredible.

 

I'm so glad you like it

I've already almost gone through 2 bottles hahaha

 

Garlic Reaper eh? How hot we talkin, sounds hot

 

haha good shit! What do you put it on?
