Nick,this collectors corner was a great idea!!! Just telling by the posts it has been quite popular.
Does anyone know who has that prototype caldera?

I second that eman! Another idea is to post research questions, such as “Who/What is this?”

As an example…..
Collectors 1st Edition “Prototype X” Series 77599. It was introduced at the 1999 Fiery Food Show. The bottle I have is signed and numbered 5 of 16. Unfortunately I not able to make out the signature.

The label bears the following describtion.

“Each year I design one new X-treme sauce to test on Serious Chile-Heads at the National Fiery Foods Show. This product has yet to named, so goes by Prototype X. There are only 17 bottles in existence, one was sent for testing, and the rest are for Red Savina Lovers, here at the 1999 Fiery Foods Show in Albuquerque.

Hey Dave if you go to the Tabasco Online shop they have the military bottle for 10.95

Earlier this year I had a whole bunch of the military bottles. I sold all but one. Problem for Dave is they’re not WWII Era. But hey…Ain’t nut’n wrong with a little fudgin’ once in awhile!

I just have to add to the praises of this blog. Before I found this thing, a lot of you were just names on Ebay and hated the fact that you had the money to get the things that I didn’t. Now I’m cheering you all on…I know, sounds corny, but I had to say it. Good luck guys

MSK = “Mississippi Sauce King Collection” = Randy

Question for anyone that has an answer…I’ve seen a few “Hot Sauce From Hells” with the wax top on the net and the contents in all of them is a greenish brown color. Is this normal? I have the wax top and it too is that color. My father picked it up on a road trip years ago and seem to remember it being red. Any comments/answers? Thanks in advance

I still have a bottle with the wax top and it is light brown in color.
Anyone know the current $ value of this bottle?

Chris - If you want to high ball it, Taste the Pain is selling the wax top for $250.

I got my wax colored top bottle in a bulk 350 bottle purchase on ebay. It also is fairly brown in color. I was also lucky to get a Cape Fear Voodoo sauce that was even mentioned. I have a question though. In that same purchase i received a bottle of Blair’s sauce I have never seen befor in any other auctions or websites. The bottle is spuare with a white bottle top. It is signed and has a Blairs square label on top. I emailed a picture of it to extreme foods and they said that though they don’t offer values in the second or thrird party markets, that it was a pr-AM bottle that he made for conventions and that they thought it would be fairly rare. If anybody knows anything about this bottle or would like to see a picture please let me know at dedeckerc@hotmail.com.

Hey Cheffy, are you talking about this Blair’s bottle??

Link.

Absolutely!!!!! Whats the deal????

Thats actually my bottle sitting on my desk.

I found it on google about a month ago.

Hey Cheffy, is that bottle for sale?

Well folks, looks like I will not be adding the origional reserve to my collection. I just got out bid!
Who got it? Anyone here?

what was the winning bid..?

I didn’t pay attention…It depressed me too much to know that I was unable to contend in the bidding of that reserve. I blame my wife’s car for that one

winning bid was $2,025.00 guy that won is “thebigshow”. If he follows his pattern, it’ll be back up for auction in a couple days if not sooner, but at a hefty price.

I emailed the guy who won and he said that that is his 3rd pre-reserve in his collection that and is Blair’s collector. I had my bid at $2000 max for a week and he outbid me in the final 3 minutes. The caldera ends at 10am tomorow,hopefuly I will be victorious this time.
eric

ps still looking for a beyond death (1993)

eman,
Look at auctionsniper. it lets you put a max bid in and you tell it when to bid (i.e. 1 minute before auction closes) Gives you a better shot at a hard to win auction.

Ahhh….the art of ebay sniping. Can’t say I’m not guilty of the same thing, but I have only won 2 auctions and I wait for stuff that nobody takes a big interest in. That way I get it fairly cheap.

+I still would like to find out about “the cutting room floor”

I sold “thebigshow” a very similar pre-reserve about a year ago. Same bottle shape, #68 if I remember correctly. It sold for only $900!! I guess I should have held on to it. Trust me, he won’t resell it either.

I will try the e-bay thing, thanks for the hint. All was not lost though, I did score the caldera prototype. Sweet!!!
I also would like to know about the “cutting room floor”. I emailed blair about it and haven’t heard anything back.

Hey nick, heard anything?

He is probably trying to get the b-99 out the door.

I’m curious eman…

Any idea what the height and volume of that bottle is?

Of the caldera or the origional reserve?

The Caldera Prototype.

I have no idea. I will let you know when it comes in this week.
eric

The Defense Condition ZERO is now SOLD OUT!!! Next batch should arrive in time for the Fiery Foods show in March, and should be released there first. Thanks to all who took interest in this stuff.

Nick and I will be knocking on your booth door…huh…counter!

I’ll remember to wear my protective gear and flak jacket.

I’ll be looking forward to getting all four bottles of the DEFCON at the Fiery Food Show in March!!!!!

Cheffy….Any particular day? I’ll be the one wearing the “Mississippi Sauce King” T-shirt, all day, everyday. No, not the same shirt…LOL

Do I hear road trip…….

Last time I made that “road trip” was all the way from Mississippi. Drove for 2 days! The night I arrived I fell over a hand truck and broke two ribs. Not cracked…broke clean through. Stayed in pain all weekend, then drove for 2 days back home. DO I HEAR DELTA AIRLINES….LOL

Sounds like YOU could have used the flak jacket.

I have never been to the expo but am considering. Is it worth the trip?
Also, i noticed blair is not on the vender list. Does anyone know if he is going?

I will be there on Friday the 3rd from 11am till the show closes, then I will be there first thing Saturday the 4th till late afternoon. I’ll be wearing a Cactus Bob’s BQ Corral shirt, (my restaurant). I look forward to roasting the tongue and putting out the fire with a few beers with any and all who will be there. I know Jim Campbell, the creator of Unbearable and Stupid Hot will be there. He supplies me with Red Savina Mash that I use in my specialty BBQ Sauces that I have here at the restaurant.

This will be our 1st Fiery Foods show. I’m kinda psyched to put faces on all the names of the people I’ve met on various boards this past year. It’ll be hard to miss me and the Mrs., trust me.

All right guys! We need to figure out a way to hook up for a group photo…LOL!

How about Friday night after the show at the nearest bar? Just a thought…

Sounds like a plan Nick. Ok everyone…send “Nick the Coordinator” your cell number…LOL!

FYI…Check this out! LOL
Link.

Oops! Apparently that’s not the way to include a link! It’s going clear off the right side of the monitor! Sorry ’bout that!

Can you say PAARR-DEEE!! Maybe we could break out some HOT stuff and have a little friendly heat eatin’ contest….at the bar of course!

Huh-Oh! I got eliminated! LOL

Man, this is sounding better by the minute!

Nick…If it came attached with a real live beach babe, I might would consider scrounging for that “POCKET CHANGE” as he called it.

BTW Nick…Thanks for straighting out my link blunder.

I won’t swear by it, but I believe Gardunos is where the CaJohn crew took me last year on Sunday night. I remember us being around Louisiana St. Prices were very reasonable too.

Are there any good places nearby to get a big fat steak and many ice cold beers?

I talked the wife into it. Look out here I come. I hope there’s an Irish place around. I can’t survive long without my Guinness

Me too Mad! I love the stuff. Buy it by the case….
