I just can't go hotter than habanero ... Ghost peppers, reapers, pepper x, whatever... would need to be diluted for me to even remotely enjoy it. Plenty of flavor comes with sweet, mild and hots ... anything else just adds the heat and does not contribute to flavor whatsoever. The super-hots may have flavor, but they will only be on the taste buds for a few milliseconds before the heat destroys it. I love hot, really hot. Maybe I just don't like super hot? There is a Jalapeño/Habañero hot sauce on the market called Evil Ooze ... best stuff ever ... eat it with a spoon for a full burn, but a TBLSPN with any pasta dish is perfect! Great as a substitute catsup on burgers and dogs too ... perfect amount of heat and flavor.
