Sam’s Serious Gun Powder is the same blend of hot chili peppers as our sauce. The peppers are washed and sorted by size, then put in the smoker over fruit wood to dry. There is absolutely nothing, but a pure pulverized pepper blend. No salt, spices, flavorings…..the peppers say it all!! This is an extremely versatile product that can be used to add the heat in your favorite dishes, but please be careful, it will sneak up on you. Please start off with a pinch …..you can always add more
