   Never had that but I've had other ghost pepper products and it's definitely good stuff.
   
   Lately when I've been craving hot sauce I've been using Mad Dog 357, I'm used to spicy food but I can only handle about three or four drops of that stuff at a time unless I want to burn the fuck out of my tongue and mouth and start pouring sweat.

   Yeah, it's great. It's fairly flavor-neutral and you don't need much so it works in just about anything. Your typical cayenne or asian chili oil can throw off the taste of stuff if you use a lot but with this stuff it's just like the recipe gets hotter without any change in the flavor. One jar lasts ages too

   Is this one also super spicy? It looks good regardless, I'll have to try it out next time I see it.

   nah, it's not very spicy at all, sometimes I combine it with the ghost chili stuff. But the lime flavor comes through well even after cooking.

   It adds flavor too. The only stuff that tends to add heat without flavor are extracts. Even ultra hot sauces tend to add flavor with the heat unless it's very extract heavy.
