Just how hot is the Dorset naga?

[Naga]

My heat level has (from what I am aware of) been nothing more than Habanero/Scotch Bonnet, how hot is the naga compared to these?

My OH and his friend are 'chilli-heads' and were almost tripping out after a sliver of this in a chilli-con-carne. Be very careful

I'm gonna grow some Bhut Jolokia's I think but I think I have a ay to go before even a temping to eat these crazy peppers!

I have grown them for a couple of years and they are seriously hot. About 2 years ago they were rated as the hottest chilli but I think that position has recently been taken by some new naga variety.

They're about 2-4 times as hot as habs/scotch bonnets. If you can handle them you'll be fine, just use less and chop it really fine.

I spent 45mins with my eye in a sink full of water the other day...because i had a tiny amount on my finger.....soooooooooo painful!!!! Nearly went to A+E!

Dunno, I've never been there. I've been to Poole and it was pretty warm, if that's any help.

I saw the film of that woman on the BBC this A.M. She massaged chillies into her eyes before the attempt! She should be commited! (and she said that she was gutted because she had eaten 60 in a minute in training!)
