I've grown chiles grande from time to time, and 
this year as well.  They're about 4 inches long, 
tapered, pointed end, and flesh medium heavy 
(lighter weight flesh than jalapeņos).  It's a 
very nice chile, but I cannot find any reference 
to it to figure out its heat (IIRC it's pretty 
hot), or a seed source.  I don't recall where I 
got my seeds, and can't save them this year 
because they're in a thick patch of Sonora, 
chocolate habs and poblanos.  I'm sure there's 
crossing.  I'd like to know specifically whether 
they're hotter than Chimayo or milder.  Please 
reply to my earthlink address; I'm on digest.  Thanks, Margaret Lauterbach
