The Smokin' Beaver Spice Co. | Small-Batch Hot Sauces

What the FAQ Man?

Are Your Sauces Vegan, Gluten Free, Kosher or Halal?

Vegan: Yup, in that they contain no eggs or meat or animal by-products or any kind. The Honey Beaver however might not be vegan friendly but we don't care, it's f*ckin' tasty and all of our products taste wicked good on anything.
Gluten Free: Ya, there are no grains in any of our products. Kosher: Uhh, no meat in the sauces, so I'm going to assume it's good to go. Halal: Geez, I thought we just covered that, no meat so no prayers. Note: We prepare all our sauces in a shared facility where other products are made. The facility is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between cooks.

Where Do You Source Your Produce?

As local as we can to support our local community and keep costs under control however some items just don't grow in Southwestern Ontario, so things like pineapple and mango are likely a product of...well, somewhere else.

What Peppers Do You Use?

Predominantly we use Habaneros, Scotch Bonnets, Carolina Reapers, Scorpions, Jalapenos and various other super hots. This is always subject to change based on regional production and availability.

How Many Scoville Heat Units (SHU) Are Your Sauces?

Who knows?! Heat level is so subjective that it varies immensely from one person to another and from batch to batch and plant to plant. We've done the best we can to rate them on a scale of 1-5.

I'm Allergic to XXX and YYY Are Your Products Safe for Me?

Possibly not. Be sure to check the ingredient list of each product before you eat anything.

How Long Will Your Sauces Last?

As with most condiments, we suggest refrigerating all our sauces after opening them for maximum freshness. All our sauces have been PH tested to ensure they are shelf-stable, with a shelf life of minimum 2 years unopened. Keep in mind that once opened, shelf life can be affected by cross-contamination and leaving the product open for long periods.
There is only one exception to this rule. The Honey Beaver doesn't need to be refrigerated but should be stored in a dark warm location.
Oxygen for people = GOOD, Oxygen for food = BAD

Why Do Some of Your Sauces Separate?

We don't add any binders or stabilizers to our sauces so some of the solids will fall out of solution. Just give the bottle a quick shake and you're good to go!

Why is My Sauce Thicker/Thinner Than Last Time?

While we try to be as consistent as possible, some batches will end up either thinner or thicker than the last. We strive to keep the taste and heat levels the same for every batch so micro adjustments are sometimes necessary. In the end you're getting the same great taste as always.

How Fast Do You Ship AND/OR How Long will My Shipment Take?

Orders are shipped within a day or two. Delivery time depends on your location, but most orders arrive within 5-7 business days.
We ship from London, Ontario so if you live close, it'll be pretty quick. If you live in BC, Alberta, Nunavut or the East Coast it won't be as fast. It's Canada Post...you know the rules.

Do You Ship Internationally?

Maybe?! We don't currently but are looking into it. Canadian shipping is notoriously expensive even with FedEx and UPS. Send us your address and we can give you an estimate.

Are All of Your Sauces Stupid Spicy?

That depends on your preference for heat. We focus on flavour over just spice so we try to have something for everyone.
Although all our sauces have a kick (some spicier than others), only the Blazin' Beaver is supposed to be super hot. And it is!

What Do Your Sauces Pair Well With?

Blazin' Beaver: Stir-fry, Ramen and anything that requires hate. Oh, also caesars!! The drink not the salad. Try the Blazin' Beaver Spicy Caesar recipe
Gnarly Garlic: Pizza, Pasta, chicken, breakfast sandwiches, BBQ
Angry Mango: BBQ, chicken, pork, breakfast sandwiches
Honey Beaver: Pizza, all chicken, toast, bacon
Angry Pineapple: BBQ, chicken, pork, breakfast sandwiches, glazes. Some people say pizza but we don't know anything about that.

Please be sure to let us know what you enjoy our sauces paired with!
