                I hadn't heard of bhut jolokia chilies before did a search on them. Depending on where they are grown, they can be between 329000 SHUs and 1,000,000 SHUs, Naga jolokia between 855,000 and 1,000,000 SHUs. Typically Habanero chilies, also called Scotch Bonnet and Scotts Head, are only 100,000 to 350,000 SHUs. Red savina habanero chilies are 350,000 to 577,000 SHUs.

                    Have you ever noticed that the most memorable moments in your life were just that: moments? Like when I discovered that the clutch cutout switch was disconnected on my 1976 Dodge Colt. I was in a hurry and forgot to depress the clutch. When the car started I backed right through the back wall of the garage, partway into the neighbors yard. The whole thing took less than 2 seconds.

                    It took over an hour with the sledgehammer, nudging the garage back onto the slab. Then 1/2 day to replace the back wall and siding on the garage.

                    All for 2 seconds of not paying attention. =^..^=
                    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                      I think the actual period of not paying attention was less than 1 second.

                            I did the same thing with my Dads morris mini. The big black ignition button mounted center on the dash yells "PUSH ME" to 5 year old.
                            The old man removed it down to the drivers side floor after that.

                              I actually had a Morris Minor in high school; wish I didn't have to give it up when enlisting in the USAF (1966).
