One of my KT plants (from saved seeds) has very large pods,
7.5 x 1.25 inches, and it has no heat throughout. Big, pretty,
decent flavor, but no heat on the big guys.  All others,
regardless of size, have little to no heat at the tip, but get
nicely warm starting about a third of the way up.  I guess I'll
dry them and see how the powder turns out compared to 
paprika.  Oh, and thinking back to a previous thread, yes, the
bigger pods do have bigger seeds.
