I use cattle panels to trellis my tomatoes, and they work pretty well...the only problem is that any tomatoes that grow real tall no longer have support. (The idea came from 'JustaDumbBlonde', who no longer posts here.)
I run my super-hots thru an Excalibur dehydrator and then grind them. This is done in the garage or outdoors, as the dust and fumes render the interior of the house uninhabitable for some time.

We use a section of fence, anchored by steel fence posts to provide for tomatoes. When the season is over, we just lift the sections out and turn the soil.
The little dehydrator was bought at Wal Mart and has five trays inside the round body. It is operated on our screen porch...not inside the house.

I've been using cattle panels to support my tomato plants for many years. Works great. When they start to overtop the height of the panel I use butcher twine to tie the vines and train them to run horizontally along the top of the panel.
I'd intended to take the bolt cutters to a few panels over the winter and build a few tall cages to try out, but I didn't get it done. Maybe next time.
