Troy,
Yes, I will be there, then heading to AZ after too. It will be my first trip there. You can join the “Boiler Room” and use any nick you want. Also when you post here, you can use your nick as your name.
There’s no links to personal e-mails, but in the boiler room you can send others private messages and e-mails.

Although Eugene is a far better town than Corvallis, my allegiance is to OSU. Didn’t go to either school, its just a family thing (plus my boss is a Beav and would kill me if I ever sided with U of O :-P)

Leroy is one mean mother. He pops up on here now and then. We don’t know that much about him only what Betty Lou has told use. He lurks in the dark. We know he Love’s dogs. Swims with frogs in the farm pond and likes almost all animals. Did I tell you he Love’s dogs. And likes to drink DKs swamp buggy juice. And that he has wrestle gators and bears all in the same night. Did I tell you he Love’s dogs. That’s Leroy in a nut shell.

If Leroy ever wants to send you jerky. Ask him if it was warm or cold when he made it. Or when he found it

Oh man my gut hurts! I don’t know if it was the hot a$$ jerky or because I’m laughing so hard!
Also, as Leroy has been missing lately, Let us know if ya see him. He can be identified by a missing finger and probably will have a limp since he fell off of the roof adjusting the antenna for the GWC !

I’ve seen the same thing.. some times the habs I buy vary greatly in heat
Just bought a TON of Red SAvinas so at least the heat there will be consistant for a while.

i suppose it would vary from grower too? i dont grow any, or eat the pepper str8, always in a sauce. i suppose you’ll never be able to get a perfectly consistent heat level. i notice this in my favorite sauces too.

Consistent heat is a challenge for all manufacturers using fresh peppers. You will often find that peppers vary in heat even on the same plant, picked on the same day! I find that peppers that are somewhat distressed during growing have the most heat. This is a careful balance however, as too much distress results in low yields or a dead plant.

wow, this is quite the pepper lesson. thanx guys. would there be anyway to try and grow a pepper with consistent heat? such as indoors, climate controlled, etc… or is it just the inconsistency of pepper that is the biggest cause?

Yeah I hear ya. My habs got a ton of rain this year(early July) thought I may lose some plants, but now There are so many habs and buds I am going to have more habs than I know what to do with.

Nice problem! My Red Savs have hardly produced down here in Dallas. I my particular part of town we haven’t had any real rain since the end of April an it has been hotter than blazes. It’s killed my yield.

Fair enough. Gives me more time anyway, trying to get alot of things done here myself. thanx
thebigshow on 8/11/2006 at 4:24 pm said:
MrFreeze, do you dry them at all? May have someone you could make a few bucks off of if you did.
No didn’t dry them they are just starting to turn. I still have dried one that I haven’t crushed from last year……..We will see how it goes may have to venture out and start making hot sauce along with my salsa……

Ahhh… consistent heat. Short answer- no. Chiles are entirely too variable. Chiles can vary in heat from one side of the plant to the other, from one part of the day to the next, and *definitely* from one season to the next. Some variaties are worse than others. Jalapenos are among the worst offenders, Hunkys & Banana not far behind. Habs have been fairly consistent for me, at least compared to others.
There are step you can do to make sure your sauces are fairly consistent though. Quantify, even if by any ol’ inexact method, the ‘ideal’ heat of your sauce and the chiles that made it so. Using that as a base, simply vary the amount of chiles as needed. My ‘Original Finishing Sauce’ originally took 5, 5 gl buckets of jalapeno mash. Last season though, the japs were so hot, I cut it back to 4, 5 gl buckets… after *several* customer complaints
The variability can also be used as a marketing tool- like they say at MicroSquish: that’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Variances from batch to batch are proof that you’re an artisinal manufacturer, using only fresh ingredients, in small runs ![]()
locolunabrian on 8/11/2006 at 5:20 pm said:

See me at ZF & judge for yourself
I’ll have a small bottle or two. They’re not as heavy smoked as I’d like, but you want to talk about something being variable!! ![]()

Jim, thanx for the insight. So even tryin to control as many variable as possible, such as growing indoors, climate control, etc…, there would still be variations, just because that’s how peppers grow? Thanx

Controlling variables *would* help, but there’s a LOT of variables to control
Of course I’m looking at it from the perspective of doing it for 30,000 plants
Much easier to do if you’re only talking 100 or so ![]()

Hey bigshow. No trade needed for you big man. Just send me your shipping info via the forum and I will get ya some next batch. I don’t make a lot at once, but with the requests I may have to step it up. Of course nobody except close friends and family have tried it, so I don’t want to get ahead of myself. It may bomb!

Hey bigshow. No trade needed for you big man. Just send me your shipping info via the forum and I will get ya some next batch. I don’t make a lot at once, but with the requests I may have to step it up. Of course nobody except close friends and family have tried it, so I don’t want to get ahead of myself. It may bomb!
Was just having fun with it and got a couple of requests to try it, wasn’t leaving anyone out on purpose.

thanx DK, appreciate at that. Well usually family and friends will be brutally honest if it sux, so it must be good.

yes, but still a long way to go, i think i may have finally found a dropshipper for the cigars, and getting ready to pick 6-12 hot suace manufacturers to start stocking, so there’s not much out there yet. tryin to take my time and do it right before i start advertising.

Well, using this jerky gun I have, all the meat is ground, so that helps a lot. Just depends on how it does in the grinder. Gotta get my hands on some gator first though, it’s a long drive to JJ’s!

Well, the sauce is only part of it for flavor. I use a generic jerky spice pack to start off (dry spice) to give it a standard jerky flavor, then add to the flavor and add heat with the hot sauce. I really like the flavor of the Fatalii fire, and it is plenty spicy alone. My stepdad said it wasn’t hot enough, so I steppd it up with the Mamba and it worked really well. Now he still says it ain’t hot, but the sweat on his brow says otherwise! ![]()

As a collector, I really didn’t know much about the sauce side of the business itself, but am quickly learning.

Haahaa, now I’m confused. I didn’t produce those particular sauces. They were made by a co. in VA. Did we email back n forth a few days ago? I’m losing it I think. That’s what happens once you get to be in yer 40’s.

No I don’t think we have. So is that other company out of business? I bought someone collection, and then someone asked if there were any Cape Fear Sauces in it, specifically the Voo Doo, so I assumed it was collectable, then one showed up on e-bay for $200. which seemed a little high to me, but you never know.
So what sauces do you produce? Will have to check them out.

LOL, just remeber John started in the same boat you did I’m sure. I was just talkin to someone about that with e-bay. I always want to deal with someone who has some feedback, wether buying or selling. But then I had to step back, adn remember I had to start somewhere, and I had that big -0- feedback.

Bigshow - yeah the sauce for sale is called Cape Fear Voodoo made by CP specialties. ( they no longer produce the cape fear sauces). Originally the seller had it listed as “produced by Cape Fear Pepper Company” which was incorrect. It was me (Cape Fear Pepper Company)however, who talked with you about obtaining a voodoo sauce by CP Specialties. Hope that makes sence. I’m brain dead right now so it’s hard for me to splain anything. ![]()

Well, I know that “chat” is a bad word around here, but it seems there is a lot of real time chat going on anyway. A chat section may be the way to go. A resource site we use at work uses a Java chat and also ties it in with mIRC. The site mainly consists of an archived forum database of user info and the chat. If implemented correctly, chat can work well. I personally don’t like it much, but it may be the best way to handle the off topic chatter. Just my .02, not trying to start another chat debate.
The one thing about the off topic section here is that I always forget about it and find it hard to track. The “recent comments” suggested by Chris may help though. To be honest, I look at the off topic thread when it is posted, but when it drops off of the front page, I lose track of it.
Before it’s pointed out to me, I know there is a link in the list at the top left, but I hardly ever even think to lok over there. It is so small and I have to look for it. The recent comments are so much easier to watch.

The one thing about the off topic section here is that I always forget about it and find it hard to track. The “recent comments” suggested by Chris may help though. To be honest, I look at the off topic thread when it is posted, but when it drops off of the front page, I lose track of it.
There IS a chat already, and no one sues it (the FRAPPR chat).
Plus with chat you can’t go back and read what yuo missed (I think most of the off topic stuff is hilarious)
I think if Nick could add a recent off topic comments (only like the last 2-3) under the exisitng comments, then you will easily be able to see if people are on.

Before it’s pointed out to me, I know there is a link in the list at the top left, but I hardly ever even think to lok over there. It is so small and I have to look for it. The recent comments are so much easier to watch.
Agree 100%

With me the frappr chat is a problem child. I lose the window and the frappr page just takes forever to load. And I have high speed DSL (3mb). It’s a great page, but way to much of a hassle for me to use often.

Thats cool big show…cigars huh??? what brands?
(off topic, yes)
Chris, I think this whole topic is off topic. lol
Well I’m in the process now of setting the cigars up. Looking like: Ashton, CAO, Cohiba, Dunhill, Padron, Perdomo, Romeo and maybe more. When it’s ready for orders, I will let you know.

Can’t you guys discuss this at the next BlogMeister secret meetings?

I would think it could be done, just another query. Maybe there are some technical issues though.
BlogMeister?? nice. yeah it’s tough to stay on topic sometime, you start writing someone a comment, then it’s like, btw…and the next thing you know, ten of you are off on another tangent.

i stil haven’t even found the frappr? or is that the carppr? lol
Morning all.
Just went down and got my propane tanks filled for tonight. Man, I’m psyched!
chat bad…I’ve noticed a common pattern after a topic becomes off topic. The off topic within any thread usually ends up giving birth to a new thread, and usually these threads do better than alot of preplanned topics. Just an observation. Most of the time Nick listens to the chileheads, see a need, fill a need.
I don’t think that this thread drifted too far off topic. Nick has made some very applaudable accomplishments within the chilehead community, but I think the article also is about the industry as a whole. We’re community, and the comments on this thread have been just that. Besides, It’s all Nicks fault that we are all here in the first place… ![]()

Not little ‘ol me. I let people hurt themselves. I just get a kick out of watching. I verified with Duff that there will probably be a good number of tin-plated supermen there tonight, so I’ve made up a 16 oz. bottle of “Point Something”. It’s awesome to see the “tough guy” wimper like a kitten under cleats. I get happy chills just thinking about it.
