Whats the pepper you are growing this year that you are most looking forward to eating for the first time?  or i guess it doesnt have to be first time.   For some reason, I'm most excited about the Biquinho yellow seeds i got from Mojo.  I've read a few different peoples take and they dont seem...

I started my seeds on a table that had my wifi right under it.  I felt like I had a below normal germ rate.  Like less than 50%.  Could it be because of my wifi router? anyone else ever experience that or have any problems?   I've started a few more and moved them to a different room so we will...

Starting some seeds for the first time.  How far away should my grow light be from the plant? I have a 65w bulb probably 20" away.  One seedling fell over and i wasnt sure if it was because it was stretching too far to reach the light and got too leggy?   Also, is my 65w bulb good enough for 5...

Just got a smoker and wanting to smoke anything and everything.  I found a few threads, but want a little more detail about smoking peppers, onions, and garlic for hot sauce/salsa.  What type of wood chips, how long, and temp?  are there any peppers that are better smoked than others?

A co-worker brought me 5 or 6 fuyu persimmons and told me to make a hot sauce for him.  i'm thinking habanero as the pepper.  Anyone ever use persimmons in their hot sauce?  What else you put in it?  I think onion would work, but not sure about garlic.  Thoughts?

You pepper heads are so generous.  I just wanted to give a public thank you to that blond guy for sending me some newbie seeds.  I'm so pumped to get started growing these.  Debating on buying some grow lights to do a winter grow, but doubt the wife would go for that.     Looking forward to...

I have 4 duck halves and want a sweet & spicy glaze recipe.  I was thinking of putting orange juice, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and peppers and just simmering for a glaze?  Anyone have a recipe they've actually tried?     Also, how do I even cook duck halves?  First timer over here.

I bought some seeds from Refining Fire Chiles and God bless them, they included some Bonda Mahala seeds to try.  I had never heard of them and didn't find too much info online.  Just read what RFC said about them.  Anyone want to share insight/experience with this pepper? Heat level? productive?

I've watched a few pepper reviews on youtube and they always describe where the burn is taking place in their mouth.  Whenever I eat a pepper my whole mouth is lit up.  not a concentrated burn on my tongue, throat, etc.  I just assumed where ever the capsaicin oil or placenta hits is where your...

Might be a dumb question, but I'm curious.  My favorite food is authentic Mexican.  Do they have that in Europe? 

I'm new to the pepper scene.  First year grower and had about 7 or 8 plants this season (probably considered newbie varieties.) Thatblondguy is graciously sending me some seeds for being a newbie, which I'm super pumped about!  I want to collect seeds, but am hesitant, because I don't know for...

Does this look like a sugar rush peach?  The pics i've seen look a little more smooth and straight.  They started off smooth and straight then over time get a little wrinkly.  

I'm growing some this year and can't find the scoville or even a heat comparison for the life of me.  Anyone have any personal experience with these peppers?

What hot peppers have you found to be a sleeper when it comes to the burn?  I want something that you're like "eh, this isnt half bad, i'll have another"...."holy smokes, i regret the first one!"    Also, bonus points for a hot pepper that the heat subsides the quickest.

What do you use to taste test different versions of hot sauce recipes?  I was going to do a few different recipes and tweak them a bit and find the one I liked best.  Do you use corn chips? just drink it straight?  

Was thinking about this album and thought of crossing a brazilian starfish and chilhuacle negro in hopes of producing a chocolate starfish.  I've never crossed anything before.  Could it be done?

I love hot sauce on my eggs so, I thought, why not put my eggs IN my hot sauce.  Genius.  Egg powder in my hot sauce. Anyone else doing anything revolutionary?

Are there any long term effects to eating super hots?  does it fry your mucous membranes and ruin taste buds? anything internally? 

Anyone know what type of pepper is used in Valentina hot sauce?

I'd like to have people try my sauce recipes and give me feedback.  What would be some good questions to put on a questionnaire?   I thought about having them say the spice level 1-10.
