use them to make homemade sauces though I don't really eat them straight that often.
Same. Love my home made sauces.

I currently have about 30 plants of the following: Reapers (red, yellow, mustard, chocolate), 7-pot primos, scorpions, death spirals, chocolate primotalis, T-Rex, orange embers, and a few more super hots.
Sell any sauces? I make mine and one or two plants is plenty for my own uses.

Ever make any salsa?

I don’t sell, I trade with a buddy of mine that grows super hots as well. I go through a bottle every week or so, my plants keep me stocked most of the year. My sauce is very simple, peppers, vinegar, salt, garlic, and a little citrus juice. I really like the pepper flavor/heat to come through. My buddy adds lots of other flavors, which can be good, but I feel a simple sauce is 100x more versatile.

I love hot food and grow my own peppers but I max at getting enjoyment and just too dang hot is not for me.

No. But my butthole is currently burning, as I sit on the toilet, from some Jalapeños I ate yesterday.
Can’t imagine how it feels after some of these hottest of the hot peppers goes through.

I dont understand the fasincation with trying to find/consume extremely hot peppers.
A fresh tabasco pepper is about the limit that one is able to consume whole, and even that is a stretch.
So people who talk ghost peppers, trinidad scorpions, carolina reapers, etc. never consume these whole. It's always super diluted to get down to a heat level of a Tabaco or lower.

My son and I grow white ghost peppers (seems cooler if they are white), chocolate carolina reapers and some scorpions.
We grow them in containers on the patio. SE Louisiana. They are pretty hardy and no issues with natural pollination. Grew them from seeds. Water regularly and enjoy.
Right now the scorpions are blooming. The others were in the spring. Fun hobby and a little goes a long long way when flavoring.

This is just ridiculous. There's countless videos on YouTube of people eating not only 1, but multiple superhots at a time whole. Hell, I've even eaten the ones listed multiple times (1 at a time though) whole.
That said, it does take time to build your tolerance to heat, especially at the extreme end.

I grow about 10 different types. Lemon drop peppers i grow are a hit with many because they have a citrus taste to them. They can get pretty hot though.

But then I have to ask, but why?
If you have to "build your tolerance" to eating something then you're not eating for taste or enjoyment but some sort of odd challenge.
And after doing all of that, are you still able to enjoy a normal seasoned meal or do you feel the need to dump on a load more pepper and tabasco sauce?

Similar, but I add some bell pepper and onion. Cook it some either in an over or grill, have smoked in Green Egg as well, and then salt+vinegar.

I’ve done Jalapeño and Habanero, but I’m thinking I want to try some super hots next year. I bought some scorpion pepper powder to mix with Jalapeno for seasonings, it adds a pretty good kick and doesn’t take a lot

Why not just buy the Bell Pepper then?
Because if you use the choco primo on a bell pepper it tastes like a banana split.

Does anyone have a good source for seeds of different varieties? Do you buy local or mail order only?
Posted on 9/12/25 at 9:33 am to BurningHeart
Absolutely not true. I’ve eaten peppers hotter (way hotter) than any you’ve mentioned. Many of them have good or delicious flavors of their own. Look up Johnny Scoville on YouTube and he will redefine what you know.
There are people with heat tolerances higher than you can possibly imagine.

Pepper and Tobasco aren’t even 1/10 on the scale for people with high heat tolerances. Quit mentioning them

Chocolate Primo is my favorite pepper
