I am running on fumes for my crushed dried peppers and was going to just re-order Flat Iron, but wonder if I am missing any hidden gems? I’m not dissatisfied either FI, but love variety and different takes.
Pics are my general go-to’s. “i can’t feel my face” is my most versatile.

I just consolidated the Asian Reds and Smokeshow into a single jar and it’s a superb blend.
I’ve recommended Flatiron to so many people who are now converted. I’ve brought my peppers to parties where pizza will be served.
Sometimes I grab some stuff from Sonoran Spice, but I haven’t found anything I like more than Flatiron.
Flat iron is the goat 🐐
I’ve tried 3 of the 4 of those, not dark and smokey, and they’re fantastic. One your missing thou is Smoke Show. That one is my personal favorite. The four pepper blend is also very tasty although its pretty generic and not hot at all. Its just regular pizza shop red pepper flakes with way more flavor.

I found this habanero powder on Amazon for like $10. It’s got some heat to it.
I use [these](https://www.sonoranspice.com/products/carolina-reaper-powder) more than flakes now.
Love all the ones I’ve got
Been using these Ghost flakes for awhile via Amazon. They can make food pretty toasty for ya

All those mixes look so good. I would love to try them out.
The ‘I Can’t Feel My Face’ should put a few sweat beads on the forehead. 🥵🔥
I haven’t tried the sweet heat but it sounds great. I’ve loved every variety I’ve tried and can not go back to regular grocery store pepper flakes at all. The difference is shocking for people who enjoy adding some heat to most dishes. Even my wife who isn’t a spice-head noticed how much tastier they are in her ramen than regular chili flakes.
I love Asian Reds on fried rice
I like to put pepper flaks in my ramen and chicken nuggets with fries from TV dinners.
I’ve been loving Birch & Meadow Carolina Reaper Chile Pepper Powder
Everything i’ve ever tried from Rico Rico has been really top notch. Their dried peppers are always fresh and pliable. These are all great too:

I am devastated that they no longer ship to Canada.
Where do you get these Flatiron
Not like they’re a secret or anything, but I get mine from Sonoran Spice Company, and just opt for the 1kg of reaper flakes. The fact that I can order a size that lasts, is not a blend, is in flake form without being smoked, checked all of the boxes I was personally looking for.
