We never wanted heat for heat’s sake. We wanted flavor with a pulse: peppers charred until they sing, aged until they soften, finished with nothing you cannot pronounce.
01
Char
Every pepper, tomato and garlic clove meets live oak flame before it meets a blender. Blistered skins, smoky sugars, no shortcuts.
02
Rest
The mash sleeps 90 days in used whiskey barrels. The sharp edges round off and the heat learns manners.
03
Pour
Bottled by hand in heavy glass, numbered by batch. Drizzle it, spoon it, dunk in it. Dinner just got dangerous.

Honey Chipotle Smoke
Smoked chipotle, wildflower honey and a warm glow instead of a fight.
Habaneros charred over oak until the skins blister and the fruit goes deep. Smoke leads, then a bright citrus lift, then heat that stays put and hums.

The pantry
Seven things. Nothing else.
Every jar is built from a short list we can name by heart. Each one is charred, aged or cured in a specific way, and none of them is there to fill space. Twelve hours of slow roasting per batch, and the rest is patience.

Wildflower honey
Raw, from hives two valleys over, stirred in at the very end.
Barrel-aged cider vinegar
Ages beside the mash until the bite turns sharp and rounded.
Smoked sea salt
Cold-smoked over cherry wood, then sealed in the jar.
Whiskey-barrel rest
Ninety days in used barrels, where the heat learns manners.
Reviews
4.9/ 5 from 2300+ jars poured
“The Pour Fire is the first hot sauce I have put on a plate without wanting to hide it. It gets into the char on the brisket and stays there.”
Chef Dario OkaforExecutive chef, Lowcountry Smoke, Charleston SC
“Drizzled over smoked wings at the Sunday service. Two regulars asked for jars before the plates were cleared.”
Marisol VegaPitmaster, Austin TX
“The oak-and-whiskey note hits right after the heat, so the habanero reads as flavor instead of a dare. Now on every breakfast taco.”
Tobias LindqvistOwner, Ember & Ash Diner, Portland OR
“I dunked roasted sweet potato wedges in the Batch 07 and ate the whole jar standing at the counter. Ordering the case this week.”

FAQ
Asked & answered.
Shipping, heat, storage, and the fine print. Still stuck? Write to us and a real person will answer.
How long does shipping take, and is it free?
Orders ship within one business day from our glass-packing kitchen. Standard delivery takes 2 to 5 business days in the continental US. Shipping is free on any order over $45. Below that, flat-rate shipping is $6.
How hot is it compared to Tabasco and Sriracha?
Pour Fire lands around 7,000 to 10,000 Scoville units, roughly two to three times Tabasco and several times Sriracha. The heat builds slowly from the oak-charred habanero and finishes sweet and smoky. Start with a few drops if you are new to habanero.
How long does it last, and does it need refrigeration?
Unopened jars keep for 12 months in a cool, dark pantry. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 6 months. Cold sauce pours thicker, so pull it out 10 minutes before serving if you want it loose.
Is it vegan and gluten-free?
Yes to both. Every jar is made without dairy, eggs, or gluten-containing ingredients, and it contains no animal products. The allergen panel is printed on each batch label, so check it if you have a severe allergy.
Do you sell to restaurants and retailers?
Yes. Wholesale cases come in 6-jar and 24-jar sizes, with tiered pricing for restaurants, specialty grocers, and gift shops. Send us your volume and location through the order form and our team will reply within two business days.
What if a jar arrives broken or I do not like it?
Every jar is double-boxed and padded. If one breaks in transit, email a photo within 48 hours and we will replace it at no charge. Unopened jars can be returned within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
