Savory umami heat built for smoke, fire, and serious grill work
Heartbeat Darkside of the Grill – Shiitake Szechuan Hot Sauce is a purpose-built collaboration with BBQ expert Mel Chmilar, created to do one thing extremely well: elevate grilled and smoked food without burying it in sugar or fake smoke.
This sauce takes a hot-pot-inspired approach. Fermented habanero and aged cayenne provide a steady, confident heat. Shiitake mushroom powder adds deep umami richness. Szechuan pepper delivers its signature tingling warmth, while cinnamon quietly rounds out the finish. The result is bold, savory, and complex—designed to enhance meat and vegetables, not mask them.

⭐ Flavor Story
Darkside of the Grill was built to break away from conventional BBQ sauce thinking. By pulling inspiration from Szechuan hot pot and pairing it with fermentation and mushroom umami, this sauce creates depth that plays beautifully with smoke, char, and fat. It’s aggressive without being loud—and refined without being delicate.
⭐ Quick Recipe
Shiitake Szechuan Smoked Wings
Toss smoked chicken wings with Darkside of the Grill right before serving. Finish with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of flaky salt.
⭐ Pro Tip
Use this as a finisher, not a long marinade. The Szechuan pepper and mushroom notes stay sharper and more expressive when added near the end.
