Found a new hot pepper plant from my "hot pepper lady" at the local farmer's market. She said it's called "Maronga Long" and that it's supposed to be "close" in heat to ghost peppers but said it's a new one she's just trying out and she hasn't been able to find much info on it. I haven't had...

This is probably a google search away, but I'd rather ask in here. Anyone have recommendations on good places (stores or online) where I could find hot sauce bottles? I'd like to be able to bottle up my sauces to give to friends and family this year and see how that works.

Just thought I'd see if anyone has been to this restaurant in Phoenix. They have what they call "WMD's"... "Wings of Mass Destruction" that I tried a couple years ago when I was out there. Just curious if anyone in here has tried these and how you think they compare to other restaurant hot...

I've got a couple of these plants that my wife picked up at a Lowe's or Wal-mart or somewhere like that because she thought they looked interesting. The tag on them said "Super Chili", which at the time I had never heard of, and the description says they grow upright and ripen to red. However...

Question for all the chili-heads in here. I've always loved hot food, but this is just my second year growing hot peppers. Last year I didn't really sample them fresh off the plant, but my goal this year is to make sure and eat one or part of each kind of pepper I'm growing so I can teach...

This may be a stupid question, but I'll ask just to be sure. My potted pepper plants (2 CR's, 1 Hab, 1 Tabasco) have started sagging or getting droopy this afternoon. The heat is now getting up to the mid-90's with full sun. They're pretty good size plants in, I believe, 14 inch or so pots...

I have a decorative pepper my wife bought and thought I'd see if anyone might have an idea of what kind of pepper it is. I've heard most decorative peppers are still edible, they just taste like crap. I'd like to take a bite out of one of these, for curiosity's sake, but don't want to if it...

This is the only pepper that survived me trying to grow from seedlings this year. The problem is that it has been this size for about 2 months. A few weeks ago, I transferred it to this pot and have just kept watering it hoping it will grow. I'm wondering if it's worth my while to add some...

Since I think I posted this in the wrong forum last week, I'll post this week's update here and follow up on this thread for anyone who's interested. My tomato plants have really flourished this week. The pumpkins are growing like weeds. And overall, my pepper plants continue to grow...

I was thinking about trying to make an extract out of some of my peppers this year if I run out of other ideas to do with them. I used to have a bottle of Pure Cap that I would put a drop in a shot of vodka at parties that was pretty popular so thought it might be fun to make my own. What's...

My wife wanted to try growing pumpkins this year so we could have all our friends' kids over to pick some out for Halloween this year. She dropped 6 seeds in 4 different mounds and anywhere from 4-6 seeds have sprouted on each mound. Does anyone in here have experience with pumpkins? I'm just...

I've heard varying opinions on this subject and thought I'd see if there's a solid consensus with the folks in here... We have some pepper plants that are turning out a lot of blooms and peppers, but several of these plants are only a foot to a foot and a half tall. Specifically, I have a...

This is my first year doing a full garden (last year I did a few cayennes, habs, and jalapenos, but that was more of an experimental year), so I'm happy for any advice from the much wiser and experienced growers in here. I guess I cheated by buying my plants instead of starting with seeds, but...

Anyone in here ever smoked lamb breast? I tried it about a year ago and it came out great, but I honestly can't remember what I did or how long I smoked it... I'm thinking about trying it rubbed with my homemade habanero jelly. I figure mint jelly is popular to serve with lamb, so the...

Thought I'd introduce myself by showing off my homemade BBQ/Smokepit. The name "Smokenstein" was originally used for my first smoker, which was just one of the small offset smokers you can get at Wal-Mart for around a hundred bucks. I outgrew the original Smokenstein quickly, but kept using...

StoneySauce recommended this site to me, and it looks like a pretty awesome place! I dabble in creating hot sauces and finding new ways to light my friends' mouths on fire, but my specialty is smoking meat. Looking forward to learning some new tricks!
