Thanks for the review huvason. Are you looking for a “shaker” type container to pour it into?

eman, when you awake, you will find ryan has been formally appointed to chief fund officer for (research) project #2.
And you may need to sell the prototype bottle to help with funding…lol ryan dubbed that one “mission impossible.”

Chris. I guess I could always transfer it to a regular spice container. - but then I would loose the cool blair’s label! I am looking for a small container with shker top, and top that actually closes tight, so I can carry it around.

As an update… BBQ’d yesterday - and made a batch of rub with NITRO. It was FANTASTIC on a chicken.

I know what you mean, I will look around and see what I can find. It can be smaller, correct? Unless you wanted to take the whole bottle’s contents.

Did you ever have any of these “cake up” I have 1 or 2 that are like a soild mas inside the bottle. I have never opened these.

Wow what a progression you went through there. From ground pepper to Death Rain Nitro! Thats like going from a Geo Metro to a Semi Trailer

Smaller bottle is actaully preferred!

As far as caking up - it says on the bottle to keep it out of the sun or else it will cake up. Mine has never - I do have some older ones ion my collection - I’ll take a look at later. But the ones I use are OK.

The ones that caked up for me are really in boxes right now with most of my collection.

Nothing like a little Nitro on scrambled eggs in the morning, works nice mixed with margarita salt for lipping my “Hurts so Good” Red devils. Beer, bloody mary mix and vodka. Will cure any and all hangovers, if you can get the 1st one down.

I definitely want to trt on eggs! I think it would be fantastic

My BBQ Death Rain has a shaker top on it for some reason.

Can you say “Rubbed the right way!”

Rubbed the right way

OK, after looking through my collection (this takes awhile as most of it is still packed away in boxes, well my older stuff is) I wanted to check on the Blair’s Death Rain I had from sometime in the late 90’s. I found this bottle. It had been opened (I still remember the picnic where it was) and has since caked-up. (huvason, I have some newer unopen bottles that this has also happened to).
My reason for bringing this up is that the label on this bottle does not match any current label. It must be old. Actually, it says “Blair’s Death Rain the hottest dry spice on planet earth!”
So, since this does not match and of the “new” names, Im not sure of what it would be today.
There is a picture of a green skeleton on the left side and he is wearing a green “death” t-shirt. Is there any value in this bottle even though it had been open? I will get a picture to Nick shortly.

My Death Rain Nitro has a shaker top, as well. The other difference is my cap is red whereas your’s is white.

Khat. My Nitro was bought about a month ago. Not sure why yours and others has a shaker top… maybe Blair has added this recently? if so it’s a great addition

Aaron… I was actually using ground habanero pepper. The Nitro blows that away.

If Nick post what I sent him check out the pic. I have an old label DRN as well

great review… might just open mine up tomorrow on some chicken

It’s a bit too cold for a BBQ here… it was snowing this morning. My cap is red too.

Thanx Matt - a definite must open. Mine currently at work - no one will let me take it home. My paln was to get more today, but it was raining, and I didn’t feel like driving to get it (about 30 minutes from here). Figured I stay home and make sauce

Good review! I used some in my chili. I love that stuff. Instant heat

Hey guy’s that sounds scary

OK, where do I get a bottle or three? I looked on Sweat ‘n Spice, and didn’t see it. Is it available in stores (I live in OK City).

Steve– I get mine at Le Gourmet Chef - about 20 minutes from me. See if there is one near you.

Ok, here’s not what to do with your Death Rain Nitro….. Fired up the grill tonight, and was too lazy to make my BBQ rub. So what’s an idiot to do…. coat my turkey filets with Death Rain Nitro. Not just sprinkle, mind you, coat like I would normal rub. Then to top my stupidity off, I dosed them with my special Mango Habanero H*ll sauce i’ve been working on. Well that was thirty mimutes ago, and I still can’t feel my mouth!
No alcohol either! Maybe I should start drinking…..

Oh snap that had to taste good! Or did it taste at all? lol

Hey huvason- is your mouth still smoking? your other end will be in a couple of hours for sure!

It actually tasted great - burning hot but great!

Mouths OK now. Tingling around the lips but no more heat. Hope the other end fairs better

LOL - funny, but all is good on ALL fronts

I have some on order.

Definitely worth having Cody. I actually carry out to dinner with me (luckily it hasn’t opened yet!)

huvason, guess you couldnt taste that it was turkey

Actually I could taste the Turkey - then the heat came! When I came to the third tenderloin - not so much Turkey any more

BTW Chris, mine DID clump a bit. Not terrible, but some clumpage (yeah - I just made that word up )

I’m still looking for something small (you really don’t need to carry it all ) May just go with a small salt shaker of some type - with a cap (very important with this stuff)

Very true. You certianly don’t want this opening in your pocket, or the wife’s pocketbook (I’m not carrying it, I may be an Idiot but i’m not crazy )

I actually keep it ina zip lock bag when I carry it. will do for now,

better add a customer service announcement here as well.
It is also a good thing to have in case you run into some thugs, its better than pepper spray

I am kind of ticked because we can no longer get Nitro in Australia because the importer said it cakes up. I mean heck you can open it up and get a knife in there and break it up into powder again. I have used it on many foods and I have to admit it sure adds a good spike to Tomato Juice.

Can’t you just order online (i.e. SNS) Maybe shipping is too much?

Dang that stinks man! I am sure someone can smuggle you some in

You anywhere near Melbourne? I’m over there for the Jinidivick Chillie Festival in February and can smuggle some in for you

Nitro….pure heat, no flavor.
Most enjoyable addiction! for those looking for a way to transport thir nitro go to and large drug store like CVS, Walgreens, eckerds, duane reade, where ever…..get one of those metal pill holders. Has a tight screw top and a handy dandy key chain feature. also called a nitroglycerin holder. works great.
And to prevent your nitro from caking, keep it in the fridge. Nitro is very sensitive to sun AND humidity. But if yours does cake? no problem, break it up with a fork, you’re good to go and then stick it in the fridge when you’re done. enjoy!

hmmm, tingling? 10 minutes! WOW!!!

he should add bhut jolokias instead of habaneros, and THAT would be something to see!!!

i plan on adding this to my birthday list

Sorry I never got back to you guys. I tried importing some from the USA a few weeks back and bloody Australian Quarantine impounded it because on the label the ingredient listed as “spices” is too generic. They want a total breakdown as to what is in “spices” including the botanical name on a letterhead from Blairs. Jeez talk about rubbish. Some Quarantine idiot obviously has too much spare time on their hands.

Sorry had to correct a stupid mistake NOW not NOT in sentence….

Success! After emailing Karin from Blair’s, she organised the information for Australian Quarantine and I am NOW the proud owner of 5 bottles of Nitro. A word to the wise, if you cannot get it, and have to import it check with Customs to find out their rules. I can get Nitro in again but Blairs have to submit a document listing all their ingredients including their botanical names.

But woohoo I am in Nitro heaven….

Just a quick note to say that I also love this stuff. Great taste, and a short burn make for a pleasant experience. My favorite combination so far is Original Death and then shake on the DRN. You get excellent flavor from the sauce, and then the dry spice complements it with killer heat.

I am right pissed off because after working out how to get DRN in I ordered 11 bottles and the bastards at Customs charged me an additional 100 or so dollars for processing. I am pissed off to the point I will take these idiots on and get these charges reimbursed. It is like ok, how are we meant to try these products when these money grubbing pricks stitch you up on entry to the country. It works out at nearly 40 dollars a jar of DNR so far. Pissed off badly…

Chris- two super nice guys over there have set up a “Death Sauce Australia” biz. I see them each year at Jindivick. Since they import Blair’s stuff, you ought to see if they can get it in cheaper for you or at least without the customs’ hassles.

Hi Jim

Do you mean Rob who has http://www.deathsauce.com.au/ ?
He does not have Nitro. The issue is the labelling. They label an ingredient as “spices” and that is too generic. I got Karin from Blairs to add a letter stating what is in the spices and Customs pulled that trick on ripping me off. However I will ask him if he can get it in.

Cheers and thanks
Chris
