Sounds good I like spice but not so much that it burns out my taste buds and over powered the whole meal. I brined some csr's a couple weeks ago when they were on sale. I added franks red hot to the brine don't know how that will turn out yet because I rubbed them, vacuum packed them and put them in the freezer until it warms up here in MN. I was thinking of curing them but wanted them smoked to 180. Bear let me know if you decide to do some that way.I liked the bacon on s stick.
I can't wait to here how those Pequin peppered csr's turn out. Those peepers contain 70 shovel units real hot, but not in comparison to ghost peppers, yah I remember that ghost pepper/ mango hot sauce. That your son thought was just right. That would be way over the top for me by itself but might be great in a brine or mused sparingly to heat up soups stews and other dishes.
