Chili's Fire Pit

I love this place! I travel across the state every year to shop here. They have a massive selection of hot sauce, bbq sauce, rubs, specialty foods, gifts and more. The owners are second to none they encourage you to sample so you get exactly what you want. Highly recommended for a chili head or a novice. They have something for everyone!

Great selection of hot sauces. The owners are very friendly, and willing to make suggestions if you are not sure what you are looking for. Sauces run from mild and smokey to hot and spicy.
I keep going back and trying different sauces. Mikey's Sweet Ghost Pepper is one of my favorites.
They have rubs (even no-salt) and other "grilling/cooking" products.

If you are Mentor Ohio it is worth stopping in for a 15 minute shopping / tasting trip.

PS - Their web site needs some serious updating.

I'm here every few weeks. Lake County's best kept secret. It shouldn't be a secret. When friends come in from out of town, this is a must-visit destination. My spice cabinet is stuffed with their products and Don and his wife know everything about every item in that place.
They make great recommendations and have countless samples if you're unsure.
Campfire rub for everything!

Extremely helpful and they know their hot sauce! My boys and I have always loved trying new sauces, and since they've gotten older, their taste buds have grown as well as their heat tolerance. This place was heaven for them. There really is something for everyone here. My 7 year old got a pineapple based sauce with no heat, recommended by the owner. We loved it! We can't wait to go back!

I don’t usually buy premade rubs, but I make an exception for this place. Anything you pick up from here, especially if it’s made in house, is awesome. Their Hawaiian BBQ sauce and Red Dawn hot sauce is my favorite combo for grilling as of right now.

This place is the best in class for hot sauce, jerky, peanuts, popcorn, olives, pickles, peanut butter, ice cream sundae sauce, salsa, gummy bears, etc. Everything is delicious, seriously hot, and very reasonably priced. The owner is wonderful, knows every product, and makes terrific recommendations. They have a table where you can try all their sauces and salsas. This is my favorite store for serious chili heads. (Just one tip: they sometimes close an hour early, so be sure to plan your trip ideally a couple hours before closing to ensure access.)

Visited their stand at the lake county fair last week. I bought his newest creation (Sunburst BBQ sauce) OH MY GOODNESS!! I bought it for the ribs that I haven’t made yet. But I did make pulled pork with it though. Absolutely fabulous. I’m guessing I’m addicted to it because I found myself dipping French fries in it , using it as a sandwich spread and mixing it with ranch for my salads. Good job Mr n Mrs chili!!

Great store and great owners. No matter what level of hot sauces you like, he has them. Best part is they have great suggestions for new sauces for you to try. You also cannot go wrong with their own line of sauces. You need to try this place if you haven't already!

Best hot sauce in town and the best selection plus a bar to try most at!! Would recommend to any spicy lovers!

I’ve only recently gotten into hot sauces. It was amazing to find out that one of the best hot sauce shops in the tri-state area was just a minutes drive away on Mentor Ave. I absolutely love the large selection they have. Tasting table is very helpful. For any new sauce I’m looking for, this is definitely the place I will always go. They have BBQ, house made sauces, rubs, even coffee. It’s small and quaint place, but there’s plenty of heat packed into it. If you’re a chili enthusiast who happens to be in NE Ohio, this is the place to go.

I absolutely love this place! They have everything you could want for hot sauce, horse radishes and mustards. If you need flavorful hot condiments come here.

If you need any kind of hot sauce, rub, or BBQ sauce, this is the place to go. Everyone can find something to some degree, from the mom who thinks banana peppers are too spicy to the people who chomp on habaneros. He's tries all the sauces, so they are accurately marked with one of 4 heat indicators. There are also maybe 40 bottles open for taste tasting near the back.
The service is great, the prices are fair, and you can't beat the selection. I highly recommend this business.

This place has the best selection of hot sauces I've ever seen. The staff is very knowledgeable when it comes to their products. Every visit I end up with something new and tasty for the shelf at home.

Great place to get some quality hot sauce! The owners are extremely kind and very helpful. Their hot sauce collection is huge! From extremely hot to a nice mild, they have it all.

This is hot sauce heaven! Great selection of sauces and rubs, many made by the owner. The Campfire coffee based rub is our favorite for chicken and chops.

Huge selection, samples available to try, and the owner knows his sauces and is willing to talk for hours :). I asked for "something unnecessarily hot, something weird, and something smokey with ghost peppers" and he didnt even flinch, just started grabbing bottles off the shelf.

Went here specifically for Blaire's Mega Death Sauce. Last bottle. Ended up buying 2 others based on the encouraged samples, including one of the house sauces. Have my eyes on another one for our next visit.

Great selection, knowledgeable owner and staff. His rubs are homemade and amazing! He'll have you taste it right there if you want, just a great shop.

The best selection of hot sauces and dry rubs. They have one for every heat level you could want, from none to WOW!

A bit of heaven for chili heads. Hundreds of hot sauces with a staff that is extremely knowledgeable about their product. A truly amazing place to experience hot sauces.
