Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Chiles are about Heat and Taste...but let's just talk HEAT.

Some peppers i have high hopes for next year are the Chocolate Bhut Jolokia and the Jonah 7 Pod, as well as the two peppers that Pepper Lover has already mentioned.
The yellow 7 pods are also on my radar for heat and really good flavor.
As far as putting out the fire in the stomach, I've found that a spoonful of liquid honey was very effective against too much of a dose of Dave's Insanity Sauce.
Within a few minutes of downing that spoonful of honey, the stomach pains disappeared.

The one that...ummm... bad on my throat, but nearly panicked when at 3:15am I woke to the worst stomach pains that lasted over 2 hours, couldn't 'pass' it in any way 
and ended up in the foetal position on the floor, bathed in sweat, genuinely believing I'd done permanent damage!!
Oh yeah, it was a TS!

Fresh Brown 7, (BrainStrain & Jonah & Ed's Savannah), Fresh Douglah, Butch T, Yellow 7
In your garden any of these could be the hottest. They are all very close and very dependent on growing conditions.

Yellow 7 and Red Bhut. Best way to help the heat is to rinse and spit with milk or eggnog. Other than that......pain train.

Trinidad Scorpion hands down...
If I didn't want the burn, I wouldn't eat the pepper...I love the endorphin rushes I get...

Being a contrarian; I'd like to interject that heat is a rather cheap shot in and of itself. Extracts can take you to galactic proportions of pain; to the point endorphens become irrelevant. Endorphens in and of themselves are available through a wide range of Capsicum varieties. I'm growing Dorset Nagas, Bhut Jolokias, Chocolate, Orange, Red, Yellow and Tepins; to name a few.
I submit that heat without flavor is rather pointless. It becomes a pissing contest.
So, while I'm not discounting the value of heat, I'm saying balance is what's most important. If one can get a really big flavor, then one can probably also tack on considerable heat; but in balance, and that is my point. Cheers.

If your intended use is for culinary purposes then flavor should probably be important, although that really wasn't the question here. I use a lot of my hottest peppers for insect and deer repellent and I'm sure those making pepper sprays, arthritis creams, cancer treatments etc. also aren't worried much about flavor, just heat. The hotter the pepper the less work is involved in capsaisin extraction
7pod brown(definatley) butch t scorp then douglah. not sure where my savannah 7 sits. need more testing. as far as brainstrain. i'll firgure that out in a couple of hours.

Haha, same thing happened to me when I ate the Bhut Jolokia, only it lasted for two nights. My wife said I was crying in my sleep! Anyway, I tried Pepto and it didn't work. Then someone suggested Immodium AD, and that worked.
