Pretty sure they are still top 10 but not top 5 depending on where you get your seeds from. Not all are created equal. Carolina Reaper technically I think is the hottest by the records but there are rumors of others that are hotter that haven't been submitted for the record yet. There are also arguments over if the dude juiced the peppers or was highly selective in the peppers he submitted for testing.

I know for sure my reapers were hotter than my ghost peppers. Both are brutally hot.

I'd mail you some I dried out but as far as fresh ones I'm out at the moment. The plants died at this point. Next year though I'll be quadrupling my garden space since I bought a lot more land and will have tons of fresh peppers of all levels.

Citrus is a good mode for hot sauce to ward off bacteria and stuff. There are plenty of more generic flavored ones that use just vinegar but the citrus can cut nice against some peppers. I've done mango, kiwi, and peach varieties that turned out just fine using vinegar but sometimes you need some orange, grapefruit, lemon, or lime just to bring the acid level up.
