Pete’s Pop Smoke – Hot Sauce Pete’s Pop Smoke isn’t just a hot sauce — it’s a story of courage, brotherhood, and legacy. Created in collaboration with Sam Mares, this flavor was crafted to honor his brother, Pete, a soldier who bravely served in Iraq and was a friend to many. Pete lost his battle suffering from PTSD after returning home, and this sauce carries his name and memory forward. The first batch of Pete’s Pop Smoke will donate 100% of profits directly to the Combat Recovery Foundation (CRF), a veteran-led nonprofit dedicated to preventing suicide and helping veterans and their families heal from the unseen wounds of war. A large percentage of profits from future batches will continue to support CRF’s mission. Flavor Profile: Pete’s Pop Smoke delivers bold, smoky heat with layers of flavor that stand up on anything from wings and tacos to grilled meats and veggies. It’s crafted to be a sauce you’ll reach for again and again — not just because it tastes incredible, but because it means something. Why It Matters: By enjoying Pete’s Pop Smoke, you’re not just adding fire to your food — you’re helping fuel hope for veterans and their families.
