not if it's "cooked" chile oil...

One simmers the oil with chiles in it...don't burn the chiles, but 
brown/blacken them nicely (yes, a very, very fine line)...30 
minutes...a couple hours...it's all preference and whatnot.

Such "recipes" are in the archives.  And yes, one should exercise 
extreme caution when "boiling" oil...

Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
