Bill,
I would imagine that some of your FD themed bbq sauces are heat related. If so, would you please give me the website address.
I like heat. My brother-in-law, even more so. One of his favorite hot sauces so far I happened to make using Woody's. I took around 20 fire-dried habeneros pulverized them in a blender, soaked that in a quart of everclear for about a week(capsaicin is very soulable in alchohol but not in water). Then I boiled that down (outside)to about a 1/4 cup split a jar of Woody's added 1/2 of the extract to each. added enough water to be able to shake it out of a Tabasco bottle and, voila! Woody's with fire to go with the smoke. You wouldn't believe what that does for a ham and cheese sandwich.
Oh, and the extract? It's so hot it'll make your teeth itch!
