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?

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.Comment

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 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!)Mad Old Bat With Attitude.
