The primary use of chili oil in the world (70%-80%) is bio-abatement: it is an ingredient in the outer sheathings of underground cables and also in boat paint. The higher the concentration in the plant, the more cost reduction in the extraction process.
A decade or so ago I purchased an innocent looking 4 oz. jar of Habernero Salsa sold under the Stonewall Chili Company (Texas) brand name. The contents read: Chilis, Lemon Juice, Salt. It was way too hot for straight salsa and far hotter than a 25,000 SHU hot sauce I had. Eventually I found that 1/4 teaspoon was perfect for 1 quart of chili.
Going on the assumption that the jar of "salsa" was about 100,000 SHU, you could use 1/4 teaspoon of 'Bhut Jolokia' puree to make a gallon of chili.
