Hi everyone. I'm excited to become a member to such a great source of chili knowledge!
I'm a Seattle guy who has been playing around with hot sauce recipes for the past 4 years. I've also been experimenting with growing hot peppers for several years, but have found the Seattle climate isn't all that conducive for producing hot peppers. The summers are warm but not hot, and it can get very wet for a week at a time. After lots of experimentation, I've found that I can consistently get the best harvest from cayenne peppers year to year. They aren't all that hot, but I do love their flavor, so a lot of my hot sauce recipes are cayenne based.
I've also been playing a lot with smoking my peppers when I make sauce, and love the complexity and extra layers that smoke can bring.
