I agree with Jerry. Start with a little bit at first. You can always add more, but you can't take away once its in there.

I would also wait until the last 30 minutes to add the chilis since the flavor might concentrate too much over the course of the day and you may end up with something that's a lot spicier than you first thought. 30 minutes should give it enough time to cook, and still control the level of heat to exactly how you like it.

As for the prep... wear gloves... make sure to take out the seeds and only use the flesh. You could also roast them and take off the skin which will give it a nice smokey flavor. Don't touch your eyes.
