Powdered Substitute for Hot Sauce

I love hot sauce, especially the Tabasco brand. I'm looking for a powdered substitute, that comes in a shaker type bottle like seasoning salt. Any ideas? Thanks.

They have a great cream cheese dip recipe also. Hope this is what your looking for.

If you go to a chile site in New Mexico or one of the other southwestern states (Google chiles or chile powder) you'll be able to buy powdered chiles. If you buy some hot and some mild you will be able to mix them to make your own chile blend that can be mixed with cumin powder, garlic powder, oregano, whatever you want. The cost may be more than Tabasco but it'll last longer than Tabasco (unless you're like me and end up putting it on everything).

A good base would be cayenne pepper. It would give you the heat, at least.
