Hey I love putting Texas pepper jelly on my BBQ ribs. I love the flavors that I get from using them. My question is:
Is there anyway to tone down the heat and not lose the flavors, so that it could be used on competition meats?

I don't know exactly what pepper jelly is, but I made jalapeno jelly one time (I assume this is similar). The recipe used store-bought apple jelly as the base, and added other flavors to it.
You might try mixing your pepper jelly with a mild apple jelly to dilute it a bit. The apple shouldn't contribute any crazy flavors, and may actually support anything you may be doing with cider vinegar or apple juice.
Now you've got me thinking about what flavors of jelly I might use in my BBQ...

Do you use the Habanero TPJs or the Jalapeno TPJs. I like the Jalapeno ones better because they don't have that much heat. The blueberry jalapeno TPJ is great on toast. I couldn't stop eatin the stuff.
If nothing else, just cut back on the amount you use.

I use the peach/habanero and the pineapple/habanero on my ribs, one thing I have noticed is that the longer it is in the pit the tamer the bite of the habanero. I have also cut it with a bit of honey to bring it down a bit. It's good stuff no doubt........

That's funny about habs - the heat does cook out of them.
In a fit of insanity, I once grew 4 hab plants along with a crop of about 15 jalapenos. I natcherly tried my BBQ'd semi chipotle technique (mesquite smoke for 8-10 hrs at 150F max temp)
The jalapenos stayed crunchy and actually got a touch hotter. The habaneros got soft and milder and sweeter.
Mere Mortals need not fear the cooked Hab!
dub(smoky hab relish anyone?)
