Pros:
Upon backstab:
The victim dies carbonized widly.
When taunting, a short duration buff will be applied : damage +10%, rate of fire +10%.
In MvM upgrades, you can choose an option to increase the buff's length, another for the strength of the buff, and a last one consisting into an automatic ignition of a target upon hit ( in case a backstab didn't function )
Cons:
Health -30
Pyros are unaffected by this particular weapon, due to their combi, and ultra powers.
This weapon cannot be used under water
Taunting or eating the weapon will result into self combustion, during which hiding or cloaking is useless, due to the fact you then become visible when on fire.


Pretty sure that'd do the trick.

How's about this?

Pros:
+30% fire resistance (passive or while deployed?)
Upon a successful backstab on a Pyro, deployed Huo-Long Heavy, or burning enemy, store 1 successful Mini-Crit for each enemy killed up to a maximum of 4. (passed on to all other weps like Soda Popper Hype)
Cons:
-10% attack damage (non-backstabs)
-Upon successful backstab, cloaking is disabled for 5 seconds.
Passive:
=Killed players turn to ash. (as if killed with the Phlog, Manmelter, or Third Degree)

Another suggestion :

How About Have It A Little Bit More Balanced And Reliable

Pros :
On Hit, Set Victims Ablaze (When Its Not A Backstab)
When Hit By Fire, Store 1 Mini-Crit For Your Revolver

Cons :
Cannot Store Another Mini-Crit Until You Are Not On Fire
+20% Fire Weakness

And Maybe A Taunt Kill :
On Taunt, The Spy Takes A Bite Of The Chili And Then Spews Flames Out Of His Mouth

Yet another suggestion looking decent :

What I've thought of is this so far:

+Duel with Spycicle Users
+Backstab gains 3 seconds of fire imunity (Afterburn and normal)
+Face stabs (Anything but backstab) lights target on fire for 2 seconds
-Burn longer when knife is equipped (Not holding it, but just having it on the loadout)
-50% weapon switch speed

+Backstabs cause the victim to distintigrate

The thing about weapons is trying to not make the stats on it too long. Alot of the stats here are a bit overboard as well, it's a chili pepper, not a fire retardent suit, so why would it be able to make you literally fireproof if you stab enough people? Spycicle does the same thing but melts it. Any weapon that can already one hit kill any class in the game unless uber'd doesn't need the power to make you invincible all the time to the one class (Pyro) that is meant to kill it's holder.

P.S. I posted this on the other Stats Discussion as well.

how about:
+10% damage
+20% firing speed
+25% flame resistance
-10% health penalty
Backstabs do not kill but instead do double normal facestab damage and burn 15-20% of the victim's health away over time unless the victim is unignited or grabs a health pack.
