Sriracha has a moderate amount of heat? I use a number of different hot
sauces and I would say that Sriracha is very hot.Given the range of hot
sauces in North America I would put it closer to the high end of hot.

 
   no, it is very wimpy in comparison.  it is enough for me
and i'm acclimated to it where it isn't a challenge at all
unless i've not had any for a month or longer (very rare
i would go that long as i probably use some every other day).
 
   the Scoville units of sriracha might get up to 5k or so.
some of the super hots get into the millions.

Of the most common hot sauces Franks is 450,Tobasco is 700 Cholula is
1000. Sriacha is 2200.  Sure there are some hotter ones for the die hard
heat fans but I will stand by my comment that Sriacha is not a moderate
heat.

  oh, geeze, you really need to look around some more.  this
is only one of them and there are plenty of others:

  note, i top out at about 50,000 Scovilles and wouldn't even
nibble on anything reputed to be higher.
