I raise bhut jolokias(ghost chiles). the 1st harvest i ended up in the er in respiratory distress after prepping the peppers for sauces. You MUST wear a respirator... and 3 layers of gloves. Also get your wife, lady friend, or kind neighbor to help you aim when using the bathroom for a week....
My hands and etc burned like icyhot for 3-4 days straight.....
The pepper actually has a wonderful flavor when used in the correct proportions. ~1 tablespoon of sauce is more than enough for a medium hot pot of soup/gumbo.
I have yet to try a reaper... please save the seeds. I would like a few samples if you grow them out next year.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
