There was a BBQ place in Des Moines, IA (of all places) called Big Daddy's that specialized in Bahama "goat pepper" sauces. Big Daddy passed on a few years ago but the little restaurant still sells his stuff and its been picked up by the Hy Vee Grocery chain. Goat peppers and Habaneros look quite similar, like little Japanese lanterns. Its a good idea to handle them with a plastic grocery bag over your hand during the chopping routine and what ever you do, avoid getting the oil in your nose or eyes.

I like to take the dried Thai peppers, and fry them in peanut oil in my wok until they turn black. Let them dry out and grind 'em up. Delicious! Put don't breathe the smoke comin' off the wok. You'll choke horribly!

Wise advice. It is also important to be extremely careful (especially men) when using the bathroom after handling ot peppers of any kind.

Years ago a Thai woman taught me a trick if the pepper heat is too intense for your taste. Place about a teaspoon of salt on your tongue and hold it there for as long as possible. DO NOT SWALLOW. The salt will draw out saliva containing the "heat." When you feel the need to swallow spit out the salt and rinse your mouth with cold water.....repeat if needed.
