It would seem that opinions vary a great deal on the subject of
"extract"-based sauces.  As someone who has tried a number of them, I
thought I'd let all of you know just exactly what I think. Heat ratings
are on a scale of 1 to 10, sorta :-)

Endorphin Rush (10.5):
	One of the best tasting of the extract sauces quite sweet with
some tomato                  	taste.

Dave's Total Insanity (10.5):
	Very little chemical taste. less sweet than ER. Contains
Jalapenos and Red 	Chiles and has somewhat of a smoky taste. Could
be used as a Chipolte		substitute.

Blair's After Death Sauce (11):
	I don't have any of this one and for good reason. I've tried it
and it's the worst
	tasting stuff ever to be used as a condiment.

Dave's Insanity Sauce (11):
	Still tastes pretty bad ( but much better than the Blair's ).
About the only thing 	it's good for is to enhance the heat level
on food or a mild sauce.

Possible Side Effects (11.5):
	Essentially an update of BADS; a little hotter and not quite as
gross tasting.

PYRO (14):
	A capsicum based oil of extreme heat. Its use is primarily  in
frying, as in 	making hot wings or something similar. Its taste is
sort of like margerine.

Pure Caps:
	Have not tried this one. But my supplier has stated that she
could not 	determine any difference between it and PYRO.

Habanero 750 (17):
	This one is an extract that comes from Habs and actually tastes
good.
	Starts out quite hot, builds to an extreme level, then lingers
	I have found that it can be used a hot sauce if you place a very
small drop on		one end of a taco then eat quickly.


Ok, that's what I think.  If you've been confused by all the choices,
maybe this will help. If you've had all of these, and don't at all agree
with me, then you can post your own opinion :-)  Flame On!
