Andy,

Dehydrate for powder or flakes.  For good color and to not gas off the cap 
set the temp at no more than 130°.  I have a tray of Bhuts going now.  The 
next batch I'm going to ferment.

Refrigerator pickling is really simple too.  Cut habs in half.  Slowly heat 
1 part 5% vinegar of choice and add 1 part sugar.  Gently heat until sugar 
dissolves.  Add pods and put in fridge.  Sticky, syrupy, but very good & 
lasts forever with great candied color.

More info: An MSNBC article about Bhut Jolokia (ghost chili) peppers

being recently rated the spiciest chili in the world by Guinness World
Records.

Well, early fall I'll see just how hot:  I have a couple of the Bhut
Jolokia, some chocolate habs, some Red Savinas, and just to moderate
(slightly), several lemon drop plants.  I'll do a side-by-side
comparison, and give you my purely subjective results.  If any CHs
happen to be coming near Gaithersburg, MD, drop me an email, and you can
help compare.

I also plan make an even hotter chile powder mix this fall (last year's
mix using habs and the lemon drops was quite good).

Also, can someone suggest a (simple) recipe that could make good use of
the habs.
