OK, THAT is the color I have, *dam camera*.
My guess? He got different crops yeilding different heat.
Why? Becuase HSB reveiew said it had a 50min+ burn. And, i trust that guy when it comes to hot. Mine isn't anywhere near that.
IMO, it's the chiles letting him down.
As far as the why isn't '10 Naga' sauce insane..well, for one he didnt want it to be. Pure Naga would have a VERY limited sale value outside of hardcore chileheads. Why does Cajohn sell a range?
Beacuse it's smart, and he can.
Mark dosen't sell sauce for a living, so he's gotta find that medium.
FWIW, yes, to truly represent the Naga..it should be about twice as hot. I barely had a sweat eating it by a teaspoon.
In that vid, i had a lot more than a tsp all told on a bland homemade juienne turkey & cheese "burrito" in three bites....My fave test subject. I even left off the Brie.
/ok, not my fave subject of eating, but the other one
really doesn't work well with chilis.
