Carolina Reaper flakes provide a visibly textured chile format, while the powder offers a finer form that can disperse more readily throughout a recipe. Both deliver serious heat, so begin with a very small amount regardless of the format selected.
Bulk Carolina Reaper Chile for Restaurants & BBQ VendorsThe 1-pound resealable bag is designed for customers who need considerably more product than a standard spice jar. It is a practical bulk foodservice spice option for BBQ restaurants, food trucks, caterers, sauce makers, concession vendors and other commercial kitchens preparing extra-hot menu items.
For small BBQ vendors, Carolina Reaper Chile can be incorporated into signature hot rubs, spicy BBQ sauces and specialty high-heat recipes. Because this pepper is exceptionally hot, careful portion control is especially important in commercial recipe preparation.
Who's This For?- Experienced chile enthusiasts looking for extreme heat.
- Home cooks making seriously spicy recipes.
- BBQ cooks developing extra-hot rubs or sauces.
- Food trucks offering high-heat menu items.
- BBQ restaurants and caterers shopping for bulk chile pepper.

- Use the 1-pound resealable bag when your restaurant, food truck or BBQ operation regularly requires Carolina Reaper Chile in larger quantities.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
