I don’t like really hot sauce, is there anything for me at the show?
There are so many vendors with so many samples that everyone will have products to try. Most vendors sell products that go from mild to wild, so just ask for the mild and you will be fine.
Top
Will I be able to buy products at the show?
Yes! The Weekend of Fire is definitely a great place to purchase all kinds of products! You get to sample everything, so why not purchase your favorites? Some of the vendors will bring new products to the show that are just coming into the market so you will be the first to have the chance to purchase them.

What if things get too hot? How do I cool my mouth down?
There are a few things that will help you with too much heat. One is ‘starch’. Since many vendors will be giving out samples of sauces on a chip, you can try a few chips to take a few degrees off your tongue. There will also be water, soft drinks, beer and mixed drinks available, although the water won’t help much. Jenny’s Ice Cream will be here and we’ll try to get them to bring some ‘cold’ ice cream as that will help your mouth.
