How Hot is Christmas Pepper?

I'm growing "Christmas Pepper" this year, looks like a red bell-shaped Christmas ornament. Anyone know how hot they are, how they taste, what they're good for?

That is just another name for Bishop's Crown peppers as far as I know. They can be in the jalapeno to cayenne range of heat. Some say the flat part is milder than the bell/crown, not sure if that's true or not either. Never grew them.
