Matt, I just bought a small bag of the dried powder of
this chile. Coincidentally.

I don't know what I will do with it yet, just thought
it sounded good. I hadn't heard of it before.

I tasted a touch on my finger and it is mean hot! Just
as you said! Wow. Powerful stuff.

I was thinking of using it in rubs and also in stews.
I think I will have to keep it to myself as it is way
too hot for the others in the house. 

But for a hot luck dish it might be just the stuff.
