I'll have to try a little in some chilil, but, must admit I'm a little afraid of it. @Dan,

Thanks for the reply Dan, I guess I just wanted a challenge on the ghost pepper. I’ll have to try a little in some chilil, but, must admit I’m a little afraid of it.

It was just a common Bell Pepper. The only info that I could find about the Bhut Jolokia that is any different than most other peppers is that the plant can get fairly large here so allow it plenty of room. Other than that, treat them as you would any other pepper. What do you plan on doing with those peppers? They are the hottest in the world! @Roy Shaul,

I have a Bhut Jolokia pepper that is real hard to grow and it was doing fine till the freeze. I have a half dozen peppers from it I'm hoping I can start again with. Anyone have much experience with this pepper, sometimes called "Ghost pepper"? Last week really hurt, mustard and rhutabagas and carrots did fine.

I picked the most good sized ones before the freeze came. But the cost and time, is why I didn't do this year. Rome fruit and took forever to ripen.
