Firecracker Farm

VANILLA HEAT

A MILD HOT SALT MADE WITH: SEA SALT • GHOST • SCORPION • REAPER • DATIL • MADAGASCAR VANILLA

Inspired by our daughter Allie,This Firecracker Farm  Hot Salt could as easily be named Allie's Vanilla Orchid . It offers a unique take on our signature hot salt blend that vers into mild, dreamy and soft aroma.  The spice is delicate and gentle. Although we've included a pinch our fiery mix of Ghost, Scorpion, Reaper the blend leans on the Floridian Datil pepper which is significantly milder and pairs well with pure Madagascar Vanilla extract for a smooth, nearly creamy finish.

The result is a surprisingly gentle flavor that's easy on the palate. Allie’s vanilla orchid design on the label and grinder are just as delightful as the flavor inside, delivering a soft, warm spice with delightful aromatic notes of vanilla.


   MADE IN SMALL BATCHES  •  FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE   

The Story Behind the Salt

The idea for this special blend came directly from Allie herself. She loves the spicy kick of our traditional hot salts but wanted a milder, smoother flavor with a hint of vanilla. I took her idea and ran with it, creating a unique recipe that combines the flavors of Ghost, Scorpion, Reaper, and Datil peppers with a surprising finishing note of pure Madagascar Vanilla extract.

Allie is a joy and result is a blend that's not only delicious but also a true reflection of her sweet and delightful nature.

Vanilla Heat Push Grinder with Refill Includes: 

- Laser Etched Vanilla Heat  Push Grinder filled with Vanilla Heat Hot Salt

- Vanilla Heat Hot Salt 25g Refill Pouch 

- Vanilla Heat Hot Salt, ID card and foam lined box with magnetic closure

- Your new favorite way to add a gentle touch of heat and the warm creamy softness of vanilla in a savory delight

The Firecracker Farm Pusher is a refillable  laser-etched, stainless steel, push grinder. Solid in hand, convenient and incredibly satisfying to use. One push delivers a burst of savory heat whenever you need one with full precision and control


Push Grinder Contains 17g (0.6oz) of  Hot Salt.
How many presses? About 515. Another 750+ in the refill pouch to keep you satisfied for quite a while.

The coarse sea salts we use are natural unprocessed sea-salts made by solar evaporation of brine and are not iodized.  They are refined by washing with clean saturated salt brine to remove surface impurities, drained of excess moisture, dried, and screened to size.

The Pusher is a spring loaded, thumb operated rasp style grinder. Pressing down on the depressor forces a rough banded steel rasp down through the opening at the bottom of the grinder and crushes the salt crystals as each band passes the salt blocking the opening. A fast press pulverizes the salt more thoroughly and creates a slightly finer grind. A slow press allows larger grains of Hot Salt to pass. 

Each press of the pusher delivers 33mg of Hot Salt on average. A full pusher contains approximately 515 presses. That's a lot of heat! When compared to the number of uses from a typical bottle of specialty hot sauce (maybe 10)you can see how this will last. When you run out, we sell refill pouches.

Ordered this based on a friend’s recommendation.?
Was a little skeptical as to how the vanilla would work with the peppers but WOW. My favorite seasoning for pretty much everything right now. Mild but full of flavored spice.
Made a mistake during checkout, sent an email to correct and the owner responded immediately. Super cool guy and amazing customer service. Highly recommend and you are supporting a small family business!!!

Got it for my lady friend.......she was happy!

I have three other other flavors. Got this just so my girlfriend do not have a little bit of anxiety attempting to try Firecracker'suff. She was very happy and the flavor is fantastic. I tried it myself and I definitely was not disappointed. Love the fact that everything comes in a high quality grinder that actually feels like something you can use for years and not have to worry about it.

This is surprisingly delicious!! I was thinking is was going to be hot salt flavor. NOPE, it adds flavor to whatever you are putting it on. A hint of vanilla with heat. Everything I have used it on( eggs, veggies, sandwich’s guacamole) just to name a few, it added what I didn’t know was missing!! Plus I love the dispenser too. Thanks for being creative and sharing.

SEXY SALT

I love your vanilla Heat. Your salt shaker is so very cute but I would love it to be more functional. It is quite small and hard to manually push down the button to crack the salt so in this case I would start developing and automatic salt shaker a little bigger that grinds on its own when you turn it upside down. For this reason I can only give your product for stars instead of five. But I will say it is some SEXY SALT!

Hi Justine! Thank you!
SEXY SALT - That's got to be the best thing I've heard in a LONG time.
Re-reading your review my mind immediately went to 'AUTOMATIC SEXY SALT SYSTEM' as a label for the apparatus you described.

Every once in a while a larger salt crystal will settle in a way that makes using the grinder more difficult. The solution is to turn it upside down and press. No salt will come out but the crystals will shift around and things *should* go back to ULTRA SEXY and EASY TO OPERATE SALT.

USPS Fail. Review based on shipping not on the product

I would love to review the salt but I haven’t gotten it yet. I ordered on the 24th of April and it made it as far as Jacksonville on the 26th of April. Ever since then it has stopped moving as far as the USPS web page is concerned. I’ve called and put it a trouble ticket but haven’t gotten any new notifications. I guess it’s my fault for picking standard shipping. Hopefully I will eventually get my order.

Hey Scott! I'm sorry about USPS screwing up the delivery. It's absolutely not your fault. Things are typically pretty smooth with shipping but when they go wrong, USPS never provides a reasonable explanation or resolution. I'm going to send you a replacement via priority mail now instead of attempting to get an answer from the Post Office! I hope you love it when it finally arrives. - Alex

I was pleased with the fast shipping, and the salt grinders are really nice high quality products. The salt tastes great, with a good amount of heat to go with the flavor. I give it 8 out of 10. Would recommend for a cool gift or conversation piece around the table.

I love it!

Your salt has to be the most unique spice I have ever used. I have always loved spicy foods and peppers So I might not be the most objective person to write a review. The vanilla heat I bought after the hotter version with the ghost pepper extract and I love that one as well.

I find that your salt says just about completely replace normal fault for me as both a topping and for cooking.

It does take a little practice or trial and error to determine how many pumps on the grinder you want directly on your food or in particular dishes. However, I have grown to use more and more no matter the case!

The push grinders are a really cool design The only drawback is I am a little older now and my grip is not what it used to be and every now and then you catch a bigger rock and have to use two hands or shake the grinder to move the bigger rock out of the way. I would love to see a battery operated version and would be willing to pay a little more for such a feature. But, I can always use two hands or find some sort of workaround.

I love your product and have already started to recommend to friends and family.

Vanilla heat

I love this. I’m obsessed with it. I’m glad it’s only heat 1/5. Means I can use it on everything and handle the heat.

Bought one because my son introduced me and I was hooked on the flavor. Fun design! Very unique!

Great gift!

If you like a kick on your food, this is the salt to buy. Great taste and just the right amount of heat. I love using vanilla heat (1 push from the grinder) in my coffee in the morning. My next try will be using The Three Kings blend in a jalapeño cheddar loaf of sourdough bread. I have already reordered Vanilla Heat and Three Kings. I am trying the Yuzu and Pineapple Express. These make a great gift for your person that "has everything".

So far the Vanilla and the Apocalypto are all I’ve got right now but I’ll be definitely getting more. Highly recommend this salt.
