I've tried both drying and freezing them, and prefer the frozen ones on the whole. The dried ones look prettyvat first but they soon lose their colour, and then you might as well just crush them up to store in a jar. Frozen ones can be used like fresh ones in cooking, and are actually easier to chop when they're still frozen. I still have some in the freezer from two years ago - just as well last year's crop was a failure.
Recently we won a raffle prize of - guess what? - a gift pack with a bottle of chilli sauce, chilli salt and ground chillis.
I put a couple of jalepino's, ( there are so many spellings of this , goodness knows the right one, in my paprika chicken this evening, wow what an extra kick, really yumee
I've got some Jalapeños that I've been pickling. Very tasty on sandwiches, fajitas, nachos all sorts of things. Also good as christmas pressies for fellow chilli lovers!
Ghost peppers were at one point the hottest in the world but there's since been hotter ones found,
I think currently the hottest in the world is the Carolina reaper!
I also have ghost peppers on the go but not sure they actually are as they seem huge compared to ones I've seen in pictures, Just starting to turn red now though so will soon find out how hot they are!
I can confirm WEAR GLOVES when handling your chillies. On Sunday I cut up jalapeños to keep in white wine vinegar ready for using... its Tuesday and my lord can you tell when I accidentally touch my eyes / nose / lips.
I've also got some threaded on a needle and thread hanging in the sunny windowsill to see if I can dry them this way. We'll see!
I'm just waiting for a few more purple riots to ripen - they'll be going in the freezer I think.

And you can also put a couple in a bottle of vodka, doesn't have to be the expensive brands. Great xmas presents.
I did that last year with vodka and it blows your socks off!
I love chilli and I love vodka so it was only natural that I put them together, but this is something else
I only used jalapeños too
ghost pepper is supposedly the hottest chili.
