If you own your own smoker, you can make your own smoked peppers, then work
up a sauce from those perhaps? I know I far prefer my own smoked chiles and
the sauces from them, than any commercial ones I've tried.

I medium hot to hot smoke mine over cherry/oak woods, half/half until they
are totally dry, then powder them and add to a sauce base, most often.
