I grew Carolina Reapers a few years back. One small sliver hurt so bad that I knew I would never sample a fresh pod again. But once dried and powdered, it makes a common addition to my food.

Pepper-X may hold the record, but the sauce made by Puckerbutt is very disappointing. Jim Currie will not be selling seed or pods with seeds to the public, as he says it's his turn to make money from his crosses.

A friend and near neighbour runs a very successful international chilli company, selling his own sauces, pods, powders, chilli salts, etc. I can tolerate all but his two hottest products. But they are condiments, not sauces, as they contain capsaicin extract (nasty stuff).
