Smoking J’s Hot Sauce Company is family owned and operated and is located in Western North Carolina’s beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain town of Candler which is just a few short miles west of Asheville. Asheville is a city rich with naturally grown, artfully produced and lovingly prepared cuisine and so much more.

Inspired by our regions local food movement and a passion for gardening and cooking Smoking J’s Hot Sauce Company has set out to create original hand crafted specialty food products with great emphasis being placed on quality ingredients and unique combinations. Our commitment to fiery foods is only matched by our commitment to flavor, so when we begin experimenting with new product ideas we are after the perfect balance, hot & spicy but full of flavor.

Currently our product line includes natural and preservative free hot sauces, bbq sauces, salsas, blended dry rubs, pepper purees, seasonally fresh peppers and whole dried peppers. We grow many of the fruits and vegetables that make up our products on our 10 acre farm and we are dedicated to natural and environmentally conscious production practices. Our products are prepared in small batches and closely monitored to insure a high level of taste consistency and character.

Starting in 2011 we will begin offering for sale a diverse lineup of new, unusual and heirloom variety pepper plants through our website, stay tuned!
