I make this a few times a year. I buy 'stacios in 1.5 lb bags when on sale. This time I did 6 lbs, got 18 cups of hot salty fire!
Spices:
6 tbs butter
6 tbs worshi sauce
7 tbs kosher salt
1 tbs + 1 tsp standard ghost pepper hot sauce, brand doesn't matter
5 tbs Smitties (a hot powder sauce I buy from Mad Hunky, it's about a 5 for heat)
3 tbs vinegar hot sauce (1/2 lg bottle Tabasco with 1/2 bottle of the vinegar hot sauce with the little yellow peppers, it's got a nice kick)
16 tbs green Tobasco
1/2 tsp death dust (yep, powder made from the hottest peppers on the planet, about 50 on a scale of 1-10
)
I lay the frog mats in my Yoder YS640 on both shelves and spread out the stacios, I can't really get any more than the 6 lbs in there.
Smoke using Lumberjack MHC at 150 (lowest temp) for an hour, then bump to 200 for an hour.
Pour in a big bowl and put a fan on them and dry and mix for 3-4 hours. Leave in bowl overnight, then bag them up!
They are a great treat for xmas packages etc.
