Confidential Communique From Deep-Cover Agent
***********************************************
I write to you from deep within the lair of the insidious Dr. Etienne Vanderweiss, supercriminal and heinous villain extraordinaire. After three weeks on the inside, I can hardly stand to live amongst these criminals for much longer. Only one thing keeps me going: Branding Iron Foods’ Blazin-Hot Stuff. Without this all-natural, fiery-hot barbecue-style sauce, I fear I might go insane. I’ve managed to procure hacked wireless network access, though I’m not certain just how long it will last. I’ve included as many pictures for your files as I could.
The sauce is amazing. I have no idea how Dr. Vanderweiss got his hands on such a wonderful blend of white vinegar, tomatoes, honey, lemon juice, horseradish, hickory smoke, and hot chili extract, but I can’t imagine he came about it legally. The smell of this sauce brings me back for taste after taste, leaving my lips and tongue burning for more. The heavenly scent wafting from the top of the bottle outshines any other barbecue-style sauce I’ve ever smelled. The mixture of hickory smoke, tomatoes, spice, and Worcestershire sauce melds absolutely seamlessly. Surprisingly, though vinegar is the first ingredient, there is no overpowering smell or taste of vinegar.
When paired with a Triscuit, the flavor is top-notch. The first flavor that meets my waiting taste buds is that of the secret blend of 12 natural herbs and spices, one of which is definitely black pepper. The black pepper, in my opinion, completes this sauce perfectly. After the spice, the heat kicks in. Those of you used to hardcore extract sauces may not find this quite hot enough, but it’s definitely the hottest barbecue-style sauce I’ve ever tasted.
Once the sauce meets meat, it truly comes into its own. I procured some turkey sausage during my daily rounds, and immediately made my way back to my berth to pair it with Blazin-Hot. Though I had no access to a grill, the nuked sauce added a needed boost to the sausage, giving it a fire that it would never know on its own. I can only imagine that, when added to such meats over an open heat-source, this sauce would pick up an even smokier flavor, enhancing the best cuts of meat. I have no idea what Dr. Vanderweiss’ plans are for this perfect addition to red meat, white meat, chicken, or seafood, though I’m certain they can’t be good.
This will be my last communication for a while. I fear that my near-obsession for this wonderful sauce may have caused undue attention to be cast my way. This morning, Dr. Vanderweiss’ evil sidekick, Hotty McHothott, watched me as I smuggled a case of Blazin-Hot Stuff through the hallway to my berth. I could feel her eyes boring holes in me. I’m afraid my time here may be short. If I don’t make it out, please… remember me fondly… and try the sauce… it’s excellent!
Over and out…

I wiped out on a chair during a chair race on Jodies driveway the other day, I’d flat out KILL myself on a waverunner. Way too much of a clutz! lol
Good Morning all………….Hey Adam2 I used to live in Michigan( the Thumb). We would head upnorth every winter for some snowmobiling, usually we would go the U.P.
[Comment ID #47901 Quote]
Good morning Mr. Freeze! How are you? So curiosity has got me, whats the U.P. and is The Thumb a certain part of Michigan?
[Comment ID #47902 Quote]
Good Morning Kristi… Yeah the U.P. is the Upper Peninsuala and the thumb is just that if you look at Michigan it is shaped like a mitten and I used to live in the thumb of the mitten, so you could say…..
[Comment ID #47903 Quote]
Thanks for clearing that up, I need to know trivial things like that for some reason. lol
[Comment ID #47905 Quote]
Ya never know when a road trip is in orderand you have to have somewhat of an idea of where you are going ………..
[Comment ID #47906 Quote]
Good point. Michigan has actually always been on my list of places to drive out (and up) to also. I’ve heard so many great things, and hey, how can you not want to go to to a state thats shaped like a mitten! lol
[Comment ID #47908 Quote]
Hey, I’ve got plenty of room – stop on by! If you leave right now, you can still have some daylight when you get here! 😀
[Comment ID #47908 Quote]
Good point (lol)….Yeah one of the best times to go is fall, you head up towards Gaylord or Traverse City. It is just beautiful with all the trees changing colors, makes for a nice drive……….
[Comment ID #47909 Quote]

I know your “other-half” could use that after he’s finished with work!
[Comment ID #47911 Quote]
I live just between Charlevoix and East Jordan, on the south arm of Lake Charlevoix. About 30 minutes NW of Gaylord.

[Comment ID #47868 Quote]
Did you request the sample earlier or just recently? Folks saying they heard about us here have been bumped up on the list. Feel free to e-mail me directly as well and I’ll take care of it personally. Thanks to all for the interest and great input.
well hello Chris K from the blog 🙂
HSB does have a long-arm! Rec’d nearly 5,000 sample request (50 states, 8 nations & an Army base in Iraq) since the 2 rave reviews on HSB for Blazin’ & Smokin’Hot Stuff. It’s keeping me humpin’ but getting it done.

[Comment ID #53431 Quote]
Is that “BAWANA BRET” – or ‘BANANA BRET”?
[Comment ID #53424 Quote]
Great! Thanks huvason – good words from a fellow maker are special praise. I look forward to tasting your samples.
