The HOTTEST Pepper in the World

Yes we are now selling the HOTTEST pepper in the world called the Bhut Jolokia/Ghost Chili/Naga Jolokia/Bih Jolokia/Poison Chile Pepper. It has been measured at over a million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) and is rated as the hottest by the Guiness Book of Records. We carry this in dried whole peppers and the ground. The Bhut Jolokia is twice as hot as the Habanero Red Savina at 577,000 SHU. We also carry Red Savina powder.

One of our customers wrote and said "The smoked flavor of those peppers is really great, I didn't see it in your ad, that was a real plus for me, I have never had peppers with such good
flavor and the heat is...whew!!!!! I grind them up and shake them liberally on my burritos.

I am a hot head and these really do the trick on multiple
levels.

Hey, try them on ice cream, it is a real kick to get burned & cooled at the same time."



We carry many different chili's and chili powders from very mild to the hottest. Also many spice blends from around the world and barbecue rubs that have chilis as one of their ingredients.

Whether you like a little bit of heat and a lot of flavor or lots of heat and lots of flavor we are your "chili pepper connection" so visit our website now at

Recipe for your next Barbecue~Yum!!

One of the new Barbecue Rubs we are selling is called "East Meets West" and it can be used in many different ways. This beef rub is inspired by Wagon Calvary of West Settlers. This rub is influenced by the resourcefulness of American settlers as they traveled west and shared their spices among their fellow travelers in their wagon trains. The pungent taste is influenced by the oriental spices of Szechuan Peppercorns and Ginger, and the Chipotle Peppers and Aumac Berries, harmoniously blend the cultures to a very fragrant bold taste. Other ingredients are Brown Mustard Seeds, Orange, Molasses, Sumac berries, and Horseradish. Our rubs are not just for grilling outside but can also be used when preparing in a slow cooker (this is usually the way we cook). This blend is also:

Salt Free!!! MSG Free!!! Gluten Free!!! Preservative Free!!!

Our spices are chosen for their consistent high quality and attention to natural purity. We strive to bring you spices with no chemicals, no fillers, and no MSG. Many are also Salt-Free, like this one, for those of you who are on a salt-restricted diet or low sodium. So many wonderful flavors you will never miss the salt!!

How to use East Meets West Barbecue Rub

Wet Marinade: 1/3 cup Soy Sauce and 1 tbsp Sesame oil, or ? cup Red wine with ? cup V-8, 1 tbsp of rub per 4 servings of meat (more rub is OK if you prefer stronger taste). Marinade for 6-12 hrs.

Rub Pomade: Use 2 parts Worcestershire Sauce and 3 parts Tomato Sauce with 2 parts rub to produce a paste. Spread to generously cover the meat and marinate for at least 12 hours.

Note: Remember to bring the steak to room temperature before cooking.

Suggested Recipe: Rub into steaks, sprinkle over roasts, or add to burger patties. To marinate, combine with olive oil, and a dash of red wine. After marinating, slow cook or smoke a brisket.

One of the great benefits of owning a spice company is the chance to sample most everything that we order. We had this rub on a pork roast that Chad cooked in the slow cooker and it was absolutely wonderful!!
