DEFCON LAUNCHES NEW UPGRADED ONLINE STORE

We here at DEFCON Sauces HQ are proud to announce the launch of our all-new on-line store. The main site remains as it was (if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it), but if you place an order, there are all new options.

We used to ship out 99% of our packages via USPS Priority Mail. The rates have been going up, especially near the west coast. Due to this reason, not to mention popular demand,  we are now offering you a choice which method of shipping you would prefer, whether it’s UPS, USPS or Fedex. Your shipping rates will be automatically calculated, so you will see at a touch the comparisons of different shipping carriers, and choose which one you would like to use.

International shipments will all be shipped out USPS EMS, as we will continue to be able to track the package all the way to your door. Other options have resulted in more than a few lost packages, so we are sticking to the USPS EMS option, which will have the package arrive usually within a week to almost anywhere on the globe.

We look forward to hearing from you, and look forward to further releases of new products in the upcoming year. Here at DEFCON Sauces HQ, our motto is, “Sleep is over-rated”, and we continually burn the midnight oil, coming up with new and unique ideas.

Oh, and before I depart, we still have a handful of Batch #5’s available, so if you still want one, or want to get someone a really cool present for the upcoming holiday season, act fast!

Thanks again all,

John & Maggie

2009 SCOVIE AWARDS ARE IN!

Well, we just got a call from New Mexico, the home of the Scovie Awards. It seems DEFCON has done it again!

FIRST PLACE - Defense Condition #2 (medium heat)Traditional Buffalo Wing Sauce

THIRD PLACE - Habby Pony Habanero Horseradish, Horseradish product

We were exceptionally happy with the traditional Buffalo style wing sauce category win, as it was a brand new category this time around. It was also one of the hardest to win, considering some of the competition.

Hmmm, 31 awards now since 2006, with only 6 products...Yeah, we're happy!

------------------------------

OK, we're back from Zest Fest Dallas. Seems we did rather well. Besides having a ball with everyone, and making a ton of new friends, we took 10 yes TEN new awards, including 3 Golden Chile Awards, and a People's Choice award for our brand new product!

Being the first time we've done this show, it seemed many attendees were rather surprised at the "uniqueness" of the Defcon Sauces booth. While the strobe lights caught their eyes, the exploding laser lights drew them to us. We'll definitely be returning next year, with an even bigger and better booth. We thank everyone who took the time out to check us out, and we wish you unbounded pleasure with the products you got.

Here's a quick rundown of the awards:

GOLDEN CHILE AWARDS (1ST PLACE)

Defense Condition #1 - XXX Hot w/extract Defense Condition #1 - Wing Sauce, Hot Defense Condition #3 - Wing Sauce, Mild

SECOND PLACE AWARDS

Defense Condition #2 - Wing Sauce, Medium Defense Condition #2 - Hot Sauce, Meats   Habby Horse - Habanero Horseradish, Hot    Smokey Dust - Table Seasonings, Dry

THIRD PLACE AWARDS

Defense Condition #3 - Hot Sauce, Meats     Habby Pony - Habanero Horseradish, Mild

PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD

Smokey Dust - Condiment

One of the really exciting things about these awards is the fact that all of our regular release products took home awards!

The Defcon ZERO Batch #5 is now available!

 We here at Defcon Sauces are proud to announce the latest addition to our heinously evil elixirs. As many of you know, we haven’t put one of these beauties out in over a year. As usual, this release is completely different from all other previous releases, and, in my opinion, raised the bar when it comes to our collectibles. Here’s a picture of it:

 

 As you can see, it’s not just a single vessel, pretty cool. The volumetric flask is the main piece. There is also a smaller sample bottle included with the set. Now, if you look closely, you will see that not only are both of the bottles numbered, but so is the dome. This set was met with extremely good response when it was unveiled at the Jungle Jim’s show in Ohio, and we are very pleased to be able to offer you something like this for your “Shelf of Doom”.

In addition to this, we are also offering a VERY limited number of small un-numbered, unsigned bottles that we call “taster” bottles, solely for your personal culinary experimentation. We are calling the entire set the “Apothecary Set”.

NOTE: The unsigned, un-numbered bottles are SOLD OUT, and can only be purchased with the entire "Apothecary Set".

There will only be 75 Collectors Sets (volumetric bottle, sample bottle, dome and base) made, and they will be $125.00 per set. With the amount of time, effort and attention to detail, I think you’ll find this a VERY good buy.
