Show us your hot sauce

I'm a big fan of spicy food, but SWMBO hates it. The answer? Encona West Indian hot pepper sauce It has a nice balance of flavour and kick, but I find myself wanted a bit more heat..... so, I tried a few more:
Bit dissapointed - some nice flavours in there (especially the peri peri) but not as spicy as I would have liked.
So.... what hot pepper sauces do you use / recommend? A balance of flavour and outright heat would be nice

Brilliant stuff all, plenty of ideas to try out... but not sure about anything with more than half a million scovilles
Just out of interest, I had a quick look on the grocery section of Amazon, and discovered such delights as:
Rectum Ripper
Sphincter Shrinker
Colon Cleaner
And my personal favourite, Wet Fart
Not sure that they appeal to be honest

Spicy sauces, chutneys, relishes etc can be fantastic and i have a ton of em... in my mind these are a marked separate thing to 'hot' sauces which taste of nothing and just add heat. The latter can often ruin a dish, I'm not really sure why they exist. I can eat as hot as can be cooked, its not the heat that is the issue it is the lack of taste. All this stupid naming ("mad dog", "TNT", "insanity" etc etc etc etc) seems to be tapping into some stupid macho aspect of the lazy male cook psyche. Must try harder.
I tend to agree - as stated, I like a balance of heat and flavour, but my tolerance has moved on so I need spicier sauces. Saying that, my mate is bringing some Megadeath in tomorrow... no harm in trying

I got mine from Tescos, and did not think much of it! Okay flavour but lacking in any heat whatsoever! I will concede that I may have burnt my taste buds off though Where did you buy this stuff, been looking for it since i returned from abroad(not very well by the look of it)
