For the hot sauce lovers...

I can't go with the big burn anymore. But I'm not willing to give up the sauce altogether - always keep a bottle of Frank's and a bottle of sriracha. Use 'em on eggs or meats or veggies or anything starchy.

One of my favorite twists is Louisiana popcorn. I brown the butter instead of just melting it, then put in about six or seven shakes of Frank's - not enough to make it spicy hot, but for that wonderful peppers-and-vinegar aroma & taste. Browning the butter really amps up the flavor too, a great trick for when making cookies or blondies.
 
Never tried this one before, but it smells like heat! LRT and I have just applied some to some chicken we're cooking up in cast iron cookware on an outdoor propane stove that we've got set up in the jam space. Sometimes it doubles as a hangout with a kitchen lol

Looks kinda like hot pepper jelly; I love that stuff.
But from the sound of it (or the smell, I guess) I bet the Schmiggitty is a lot hotter.
 
Generally not looking for real heat. I use chipotles in adobo sometimes since that adds smoky along with the spicy - it's a crucial ingredient for my favorite mashed sweet potato recipe.

I keep a jar of Laoganma on my shelf too, for once in a while.

I never went for the how hot can you take it thing.

I like some heat with flavor.
I just found the Tapatio brand mentioned above earlier this year.
I got a quart bottle at Walmart and refill the smaller bottle with it.

I also dig Tabasco, Franks, and the Cholula Chipotle (Cholula has several varieties I've yet to try)
and recently this sriracha. All are from pretty mild to some kick, but a variety of tastes.
