Common questions
Before you sign up.
How often will you email me?+
Once a week, every Friday morning. Plus the occasional seasonal drop (Super Bowl wings, holiday gifts, festival lineups).
Will you sell or share my email?+
Never. Not now, not later. We use Kit to deliver the newsletter and that's it.
What if I don't like it?+
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe at the bottom. No questions, no friction.
Is this a beginner-friendly newsletter?+
Yes. We write for cooks who like flavor first and heat second, and most recipes scale from mild to wild so the whole table can share.
What does it cost?+
Nothing. Flame Club is free. We make money through honest affiliate links on hot sauce reviews if you choose to buy something we recommend.
