I had one Bhut Jolokia easily heat an entire pot of chile! and mighty hot at that, I'll bet. One habanero is the most I've ever used for anything I've cooked, and I seeded and deveined it first!

Mikey, Bhut Jolokias need a long growing season. Better start them now indoors if you haven't already.

My experience with Serrano's has them in the 15-20k range for the most part (from what I can tell anyway). And I hope my numex Big Jim is a little bit spicier this year, I think last year with the weather I was lucky if I hit 1k.
