I grow a variety of super-hots from plants I get from http://www.thechilewoman.com/. When I make chili powder I cut them in half and dry them in a dehydrator typically used to make jerky. So far I've been using a small spice grinder to make the powder. I'm curious to see how this turns out. It may replace the condiment shaker I keep on the table.
WhomperzCurrently $28 on Amazon with only 1 unit remaining. Amazon changes their prices on items almost daily so sometimes the price I am trying to beat changes while the drop is live.
The one in this drop is not titanium either (says SS and acrylic in description). I ordered one from amazon from Whomperz' link (paid a total of $18.00 for it, and am already slicing my peppers. I received item identical to the one described on this drop. It is a really cool device, so I would recommend to other ppl, I just wish that Massdrop's price would be more competitive (Camel Camel shows that the same unit was selling on Amazon for $11.86 in August...

So it's not powder but not as big as pizza-joint chile. You'd need to strain it in a collander to get rid of the dust if you don't want powder.
It looks okay for pizza, too mangled for Arabiata.
This is a great product! It CUTS the dried spices, it does not grind them and releases the essential oils that contain the flavor (and the heat in the chilies) when adding to a recipe or dish .... a trick all good chefs use!!
I would have liked a picture that included an example of the output of this cutter/grinder. I love spicy food, but sometimes the chili sauces just aren't what I'm looking for, and I don't have the time or energy to learn how to and then practice "doing it right" (though growing them in a garden we already have for other things or buying them fresh from a store or farmers market and stringing them up to dry them out would be an acceptable amount of effort). I just don't know if this would be what I would want.
McCormick has a course ground 50% black/50% red pepper called Bold & Spicy that I love but it is expensive and hard to find...most red pepper is fine ground. So I'm wondering if this has course grinding options because I am not interested in a fine grind for peppers.
sockpuppyI sun dry stuff and honestly, my time is needed elsewhere. Like gaming and running my mouth. :D
But seriously too, I'm always looking for convienince, meaning I don't want to contaminate a grinder with peppers just for a one off use. Everything you said is legit just some people want it easy and I don't blame them. ;)
I use a molcajete (big ol' Mexican morter n pestle) for mine and it works just fine for dried spices, rehydrated stuff, fresh veggies, fruits, etc. I also have a coffee grinder for stuff where i don't care if it turns into powder.
