like some heat but i don't know. do they loose any heat after you dry them out??
They don't lose much heat but you can control the amount of heat by the amount of powder your use. A teaspoon of it in a pot of chili for example will add some heat but still mild. Add a tablespoon and your getting warmer.
I like to use it to make hot things a little hotter. Like salsa for example. My wife likes medium salsa. I can pour a bowl of her salsa and sprinkle in some death dust and now I have a hot and smokey flavored salsa.
Mix some into mayo for a spicy hot sandwich spread.
Or you can mix a little in with your favorite rub to add a little kick.
Those three jars will last me a year and I use the stuff on a regular basis.
