I grew some peppers so hot one year, when I used them in chili it started boiling before I turn the stove on.

Yes, but then the general contract provisions stuff gets to be longer than the disclaimer part and it's not cute any more.

I mostly did this because my attorney is a frequent party guest and one of those people who hoards his sauce until the next season. He got a good laugh at it but pointed out that I had left out a bunch of important stuff, which if I could just find a way to send sauce to his in-laws in England he would be happy to take care of for me...

Now I'm going to take that with a ton of salt, Worth.

But I know what you mean...I have made sauce or chili so hot that only a few people would eat it....or could. LOL For some they just had to try it....and regretted it. LOL....like a dare or point of honour or machismo. That was my "No Wuss Chili...No Sh**!"....definitely was good for cleaning out the plumbing. In fact that was what my Brit friends back in Uni would've called "complicated". Their scale went something like this:
Nuance / Don't Bother = Extra Mild
A Tad / Almost No Bother = Mild
In the Door / Just not on the dance floor = Medium
Waltzing = Medium-High
Twist & Shout = Hot
"They Shoot Horses Don't They?" = Seriously Hot
Complicated (remembering to put the toilet paper in the freezer before eating) = Extreme Heat

We used the scale at restaurants as well as at home. I have a feeling they'd have created another level for hot sauce made with ghost peppers. Some of us didn't even consider scotch bonnet sauce as "complicated"...

I use the excess peppers to paint my squash, watermelons, and so on that may be attacked by Mammals.

I use a blender to grind them to a paste and add Isopropyl Alcohol and some vinegar.

I wouldn't worry if they only ate one, but they eat a little bit, move to the next one, eat a little, until there's nothing edible left.

I have a lot of jalapenos that for some reason this year are extremely hot..I got out a mason jar,and just started chopping up the peppers,onions,and tomatoes and packed them into the jar.Then filled it up with vinegar and let it sit in fridge.Makes a nice chunky salsa and is so good with tacos and salads..Though i eat it with everything since i love hot peppers.When the level gets low,i add more and give it a good stir..

Yummmmmm....looking good Filmnet.

I agree with Worth, heat just for the sake of heat without flavour is a waste of time. And although I love hot and complicated hot peppers I also want flavour with them. So allot of the time if I'm cooking with them, I'll use a combo of peppers and some fruit. The sugar from the fruit enhanced the natural flavours of the hot peppers. Like a few others I have been known to put whole or slivers of ghost peppers with others in dishes or pickles.

BTW...tried something really cool the other day. A friend of mine who is a real hot pepperhead made a carrot cake over the weekend and mixed slivers of hot peppers (including ghost peppers) in the cream cheese icing, as well as in the cake. OMG...toooooo yummmmmy....and even the none pepperheads liked it...but didn't realise what was causing the "spiciness" which didn't come across as straight heat.

We used to grind them in a blender but that was a drag, so when we started producing more peppers we went to the korean store where they have a couple of ancient grinders of some kind. costs about $70 for 7 gallon ziplock bags full.
They run it through many times maybe even tighten up the hand wheels to get a real fine grind usually we only get 1 or 2 bags of fine grind the rest are coarse ground.
oh yeah if we wanted to we could sell these gallon bags for about $80 or more a piece but my wife usually gives a few bags away to her fiends. Oops sorry I meant friends.
