Google says the Hatch holds more heat so I think I'll stuff and grill some when they come available next time.

They have Mild, Medium Hot, and Hot.
Don't think they sell Medium.
Was disappointed this year, the Medium Hot I got were more like a medium.

All good info. One note, if you roast or lightly blister on the grill, when you take them in a sealed plastic bag to both cool and slowly self steam, this helps the skin “slip” and detach from the “meat”. Then you remove, slit the pod lengthwise, remove the seeds, and can scrape the meat out with the edge of a spoon.
BE WELL, BUT NOT DONE

We don't mess with the seeds. Just cut top off, remove skin, and rinse.
The rinse removes 90% of the seeds.

Most stores in my area offer mild and hot. Did the mild last season. The flavor is great, quick hit of heat and then it’s gone. Went with 25# of hot this year. There is a huge difference in the heat factor. Same taste but a far more lingering heat.

My wife grows thousands every year, we pick and chop the head off and either freeze or dry. She freezes some with seed and without, without is for my Thai curry paste.i make a red,green and a yellow Thai paste. Yellow is for seafood. I also make chilly sauce and make about 10 litres a year. I use about 500 chillies in that, seeds in. It's hot and my kids love it on eggs.

I never have too much chili. We make curry, we make tkemali (according to the classic recipe, chili is not added, but I love spicy food). We also make powder from dried pepper. A universal seasoning for any dish for those who like spicy food.
