Cooking up some leftover smoked pork belly with a bit of brown sugar to make some ultra thick smoked bacon for my eggs.

Most pepper sites I've looked at list the hatch as equal to, or lesser, than a jalepeno - but there's often a caveat that hot varieties can be pretty darn hot (8,000 SHU).  So between the low and high heat versions there's a huge range (1,000 - 8,000).

Hatch peppers have an oddly wide range of heat apparently. These were quite mild because I ate a chunk raw to check them out. I ended up with three large hatch and three large jalapeño even though I started with two each. The flavor is very good and I'm hoping it will only be better tomorrow after sitting overnight.

You can force a pepper to get hotter. If you stress a pepper plant after blossoming, it will produce more capsaicin.

You can also grow a jalapeno next to a habanero, and the second generation will cross pollinate, therefore making a hotter Jalapeno, and possibly milder habanero.
