Everyone's concept of "chili" is different. I much prefer my recipe
that's in the RFC Cookbook.

Typically not... bottled chilli sauce is like ketchup only thinner and
sweeter. There are as many different recipes for bottled chilli sauce
as there are for bottled bbq sauce. Personally I don't like any of
them... I much prefer ketchup/Heinz red, or I'll make up my own
sauce/dry rub from scratch. For spicy I'd look at "hot sauce"... some
hot sauce is flavorful yet not very spicy.
