Medium: 🔥🔥🔥

When it came time to craft the perfect everything sauce, we knew it had to be as timeless as the cheeseburger.

Not described. Bursting with flavor, put it on everything, and use generously.

Meet the Maker

Before 13 Stars was a company, it was a lifeline. After returning home from deployment, I found myself searching for purpose; something real, grounding, human.

What I found was food. The universal language. The thing that brought strangers together in foreign countries and helped me heal from the things nobody talks about.

My sauces carry that story. Fresh American peppers. Bold, intentional flavor. Hot sauce with soul, crafted to reconnect you to what truly matters: community, culture, and shared meals.

The Big Red One is my #1 favorite out of all the 13 stars sauces. I use it on a bunch of different foods. My special use for it is on North Shore Roast Beef’s for an extra zip!

THE BIG RED ONE

Got the bottle of Big Red One about 10 days ago and have used about half the bottle to date....yes, I put hot sauce on just about everything.....while it is very favorable(I think I made that word up) and has a kick, I would like a bit more "Heat". Will buy again

13 Stars Hot Sauces

I generally like my sauces medium, but I particularly like the Big Red 1 Hot Sauce. It's great with Bloody Mary's, I actually have brought it to the bar I work at and hope that they will consider ordering it. The main reason I like 13 Stars is that it's Veteran owned. I am a Veteran and totally support Veteran businesses.

Thank you for your service Barbara! Big Red One and Bloody Mary's are a must

Frequently asked questions

 How hot are the sauces?

Each of the sauces has relative range since the scoville rating is based off of the hottest pepper within the sauce. Since we use fresh peppers in our sauces there is always going to be a variance from batch to batch.

Dragon's Breath - Mild - 8K SHUs~
Mean Green - Mild - 8K SHUs~
Big Red One - Medium - 10K SHUs~
Tango Mango - Hot -90K SHUs~
Nuclear Option - Insane - 400K SHUs~
F.U.B.A.R. - Insane - 800K SHUs~

Again these are ballpark estimates based upon the hottest pepper in the sauce and does not constitute as a legitimate SHU test.

 Is 13 Stars Hot Sauce too spicy for everyday use?

Not at all. We believe flavor should come first. Heat is just the amplifier.

Each of our sauces is carefully crafted to balance flavor & heat, whether you're a heat novice or a certified chili head. We use fresh peppers, not extracts, so the burn never overpowers the experience.

Do your hot sauces work for more than just tacos and wings?

Hell yes! Our sauces are designed to enhance, not overwhelm. Think burgers, eggs, pizza, marinades, bloody mary's, even mac & cheese. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or just spicing up takeout, there's a 13 Stars flavor to fire it up.

Is your hot sauce shelf-stable and how long does it last?

Yes. Our sauces are shelf-stable and have a long life (24 months unopened). Once opened, just refrigerate to keep the flavor fresh and bold. No weird preservatives here; just clean, real ingredients that hold up.

How much do I save with a bundle?

It depends on how many bottles you buy!

📦6+ Bottles: 15% OFF

Why does your hot sauce cost more than some others?

Because we give a damn. We use fresh, premium ingredients, source responsibly, and produce in small batches here in the U.S. You're not just buying heat; you're investing in award-winning quality, American jobs, and veteran-led impact. Every dollar supports real people doing meaningful work.

Where are these made?

We proudly cook our sauces in the Warren, RI, USA.

We pride ourselves on cooking our own hot sauces instead of being outsourced to a nameless 3rd party overseas manufacturer. This helps us guarantee high-quality ingredients and craftsmanship are always used in the cooking process. Customers can save on shipping, and 13 Stars benefits the local economy by creating jobs for fellow Americans.
