We stock over 200+ products from around the world including the USA, Mexico, Caribbean, and locally made Australian brands.

Yes! We carry a great range of Australian-made hot sauces including brands like Chilli Factory NSW (with their Dragon's Blood, Scorpion Strike, Funnelweb Bite and more) and Bulldozer BBQ. Our own Chile Mojo brand Buffalo Fry Mix is also proudly made in South Australia.

We stock hundreds of brands including Mad Dog/Ashley Foods, CaJohns, Blair's Deathsauce, Dave's Gourmet, Cholula, La Costena, Arizona Gunslinger, Crystal, Stubbs, Bone Suckin', Blair's, Captain Thoms, Danny Cash, Blind Betty's, Beaver Brand, Colgin, Kentucky BourbonQ, Ole Rays, Chilli Factory NSW, and many more.

We rate our hot sauces on a scale of 1 to 10: 1 = Mild, 2 = Gentle Heat, 3 = Medium Heat, 4 = Warming Heat, 5 = Solid Heat, 6 = Hot, 7 = Very Hot, 8 = Serious Heat, 9 = Extreme Heat, 10 = Super Hot. Each product page displays the heat level so you can pick the right sauce for your tolerance.

Our most extreme product is the Mad Dog 357 No.9 Plutonium 9M SHU Extract (28gm) — guaranteed at 9,350,000 Scoville Units. It sits at the very top of our heat scale (level 10 — Super Hot) and is a pure pepper extract for food use only; NOT to be consumed directly. Other Super Hot options include the Mad Dog 38 Special (3M SHU), Mad Dog 44 Magnum (4M SHU), and Mad Dog 357 Pepper Extract 5M SHU — all rated 10 on our scale.

Great starting points are sauces rated 1–3 on our heat scale (Mild to Medium Heat). We recommend Cholula Original (level 3 — Medium Heat), Crystal Hot Sauce (level 3 — Medium Heat), Arizona Gunslinger Habanero Mango (level 5 — Solid Heat), and CaJohns Oaxacan Hot Sauce (level 3 — Medium Heat). These are flavourful sauces with very manageable heat, perfect for everyday food.

Hot sauces are food condiments made from peppers, vinegar, and spices — rated 1–9 on our heat scale and used like any table sauce. Pepper extracts (like our Mad Dog or CaJohns extract range) are highly concentrated capsaicin products rated 10 (Super Hot) and above — used as food additives only, one drop at a time into cooking. Extracts are NOT meant to be consumed straight from the bottle.

Yes! We stock gift packs like the No Survivors Hot Sauce Box (4 x 150ml) which includes Da Bomb Evolution, Marie Sharp's Fiery Hot, CaBoom!!, and Endorphin Rush. These make great gifts for chilli enthusiasts. We also sell mini/sample size sauces (50ml) from brands like Mad Dog so you can try before committing to a full bottle.

Pepper extracts are our level 10 (Super Hot) products and must only be used as food additives — added in tiny amounts to cooking. They should NEVER be consumed directly. Keep away from children and pets. By purchasing super-hot extracts, you agree to our Super Hot Product Disclaimer on the product page.

Scoville Heat Units (SHU) measure the heat of chilli peppers and hot sauces. Our 1–10 heat scale maps to SHU ranges: level 1 (Mild) covers everyday table sauces under ~5,000 SHU; level 5 (Solid Heat) is around habanero range (~100,000–350,000 SHU); level 10 (Super Hot) covers extreme extracts like Mad Dog Plutonium at 9,350,000 SHU. The higher the number, the hotter the product.

Our level 8–10 (Serious Heat to Super Hot) sauces and extracts use some of the world's most extreme peppers: Ghost Pepper/Bhut Jolokia (~1,000,000 SHU), Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (~2,000,000 SHU), Carolina Reaper (~1,500,000–2,200,000 SHU), and Red Savina Habanero. Products like CaJohns Moruga Madness, Reaper Sling Blade, and Blair's Ultra Death all use these peppers and sit at level 8–10 on our scale.

The Hot Ones is a popular YouTube series where celebrities eat progressively hotter chicken wings. Several of our sauces have been featured on the show, including Blair's Mega Death (Seasons 2, 3 & 4), Mad Dog 357 Original (Seasons 1, 2 & 3), Dave's Insanity, Cholula Original, and Crystal Hot Sauce. These are some of our most popular products!

We carry a huge range of BBQ sauces including bourbon-infused varieties (Virginia Gentleman, Fighting Cock, CaJohns), chipotle-based sauces (CaJohns Apple Smoked Bourbon Chipotle), fruit-based (Key West Key Lime, CaJohns Black Cherry Bourbon), spicy options (CaJohns Trinidad Scorpion BBQ), and classic styles (Stubbs Original, Bone Suckin' Spicy Thick, American Style BBQ range).

Absolutely! Many of our sauces are fantastic cooking ingredients. CaJohns chile purees (jalapeño, chipotle, serrano, cayenne, fatalii, red savina) are specifically designed as cooking ingredients with 80%+ chile solids. Our liquid smoke range (Colgin applewood and mesquite) adds instant BBQ flavour to any dish without a smoker.

Colgin Liquid Smoke is a natural, all-vegan, gluten-free product used to add authentic smoky flavour to food without a smoker or BBQ. Just a few drops added to marinades, rubs, soups, stews, or meats gives a genuine hickory or mesquite smoke flavour. We stock both Applewood and Mesquite varieties in 118ml bottles.

Chile Mojo Buffalo Fry Mix is our own brand product made in South Australia. It's a crisp-fry duster for up to 2kg of chicken wings or other foods, creating a crispy coating when deep-fried or oven-baked at high temperatures. It contains sweet paprika, corn masa, wheat flour, sea salt, garlic and onion powder. Contains wheat.

We stock a wide range of La Costena and El Mexicano Mexican pantry staples including: chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (220g, 340g, and A10 food service tins), whole and refried black and pinto beans, whole jalapeños, tomatillos, nopalitos (cactus), cuitlacoche, and a range of salsas (red, green tomatillo, taquera). All great for authentic Mexican cooking.

Cuitlacoche is a Mexican ingredient sometimes called 'Mexican truffles.' It's a benign fungus that grows on corn kernels, creating larger black-purple grains with an earthy, mushroom-like flavour. It's used in traditional Mexican dishes like tacos, omelettes, pasta sauces, and crepes. We stock La Costena Cuitlacoche in 380gm tins.

Yes! We stock several A10 (2.8–2.95kg) food service tins including La Costena Chipotle in Adobo, La Costena Whole Jalapeños, Salsa Mexicana Verde, and Tomatillos. We also have gallon-size hot sauces including Crystal Hot Sauce 1 Gallon (3.8lt) and Chilli Factory 1 Litre Scorpion Strike. Great for restaurants, catering, and large events.

We stock La Costena salsas including Homestyle Salsa Mexicana Red (473gm), Salsa Mexicana Green Tomatillo (475gm), and Salsa Taquera (473gm). These are authentic Mexican-style chunky salsas, gluten-free, and great with tacos, burritos, fajitas, or as a dip with corn chips. We also carry food-service A10 size Salsa Verde.
