For whom? Most of my peppers aren't on any Scoville
list I've ever seen. Besides, I already know how hot they
are.

LMFAO,
Well,
Clearly these already established numbers seem to matter little to you.
Do you know the difference between a bell pepper and a cayenne, or for that
matter a habnerro? Anyone can grow nondescript peppers and say they are
"hot" or not.....
I encourage you to go with an established set of standards. Of course I
could grow....hmmm let's see.... Billybobs worlds hottest peppers..and then
say, well "all my rowdy friends say these here peppers are "reasonably hot",
but then again you have the "bubba" that comes along and says " these here
peppers ain't nuthin!"
Just because your peppers aren't on the list means nothing.

Is the "scoville" unit scale not working for you?

Uh, no.

What do you think those numbers mean to someone who's
never seen the scale and barely knows the difference in a
bell pepper and a cayenne? The idea is to get a feeling for what
*they* define as hot or mild so I am better able to give them
peppers that they'll enjoy. The problem is a matter of
translation, not of lacking information about the peppers.


I doesn't sound nearly as
"kewl" as the "Old El Paso" scale but it is a good reference point.
