I don’t know enough about hot sauces to name one in particular, but I’m not a fan of any where there’s way more heat than flavor.
I can take spice, but it has to taste amazing too. Probably the best spicy food I’ve ever had was some kind of homemade Pakistani dish I don’t know the name of, which was hot enough that I had to keep a box of tissues next to me from the runny nose it brought on but my oh my goodness was it bursting with flavor.
I’m turned off on hot sauce ever since that cajun turkey ,omg. It was bathed on the stuff.
a hot sauce called apollo hot sauce. has three kinds of pepper x: regular,chocolate and peach. each over 3 million scoville.
Apollo Sauce is fire. 
I stay very far from anything spicy all together.
That may be how they’re advertised but I can 100% guarantee you that’s not true.
I can’t make any guarantees because I’m not that proficient in SHU science, but I can say that I find a lot of lower-SHU sauces “hotter” than higher-SHU sauces.
Da Bomb Beyond Insanity feels WAY hotter than Apollo Sauce to me and it’s supposedly 1/10th of the SHU.
I think it’s just the pepper extract. It’s like getting maced.
This is my hot sauce
I have peppers growing in my garden. Later this summer I’ll make my own.
Nice! What type? I’m growing Scotch Bonnets from the Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture and Carolina Reapers from Ed Currie.
My own brand of spicy crap in a bottle. I ferment peppers then grind it up and stick it in a bottle after straining it.
Idk if that’s the proper way to make it, but it works.
Next best: mcdonalds buffalo sauce xD
Gator Hammock “Gator Sauce.” Found it at a seafood restaurant in south Alabama once. It’s thicker than most and has a strong cayenne flavor over the typical habanero or ghost varieties that are the most popular now. Not super hot but a good everyday sauce and its thickness holds up to being used in cooking. The restaurant in question was just using it as a table sauce to dip shrimp and fried oysters in.
You can find it on Amazon here (remove the “…” in the front end of the link):

There are plenty of things hotter but what I find when you get into the real big-league stuff like Dave’s Insanity is they sacrifice taste for heat. I get that some people like the pain but I’ve got to be able to still taste whatever the sauce is on.
You had me at
It makes it sweet hot and tangy lol its silly easy to make too
I’m going to give this a try. Thank you for the recommendation. Sounds like an amazing sauce.
My husband does the big garden (I do the smaller herb garden) and he’s hoping this year will be good for the peppers he plants. He makes his own hot sauce too.
I wish I could use hot sauce.Sadly stuck with mild.
That is why I am here too. I have never bought a hot sauce.
And this is the kind of suggestion I was looking for. I don’t want something that is super hot. I just want a bit of heat but a lot of flavor. This seems perfect.
I also love curry dishes too. Noms.
I hope he does well too! I processed a huge bag of dried seranos last winter into the usual dried flaked version. I did not wear gloves. It took 3 days to get my hands back to normal. It was kind of funny and odd, but I will be avoiding it next time.
I’m not really a fan of hot sauce but I use Tabasco in cooking. Or if we have a good year for the garden my husband makes his own concoction he calls hot sauce.
Cerrano, Anaheim, and Hungarian Wax. They grow well in our west coast climate. I’ll buy imported stuff to mix with them.
