Besides the obvious (butcher, burn the world) what are some possibilities for these caged fire imps I have?

[Dakk]

Well, they can't be tamed, but you could create a pit, throw them down there and throw some naked gobbos and watch what happens.

A tastily delicious series of fire-related traps, sprinkled with a tantalising mix of mechanisms and goblin limbs.
Bake for 20 mins, serve warm.

[Argonnek]

Examples of such traps would be welcome
Idea: mess with the raws + fire imps = WAR IMPS

[doctorspoof]

Ummm... I only provide the inspiration, not the workings =P

However... What about retractable bridge that's linked to a pressure plate, making them fall into a large pit. Said pressure plate also links to a few cages in the pit, containing fire imps. Optionally, pressure plate also links to a distant floodgate, releasing magma to slowly flow towards said pit. "Oh, beat my fire imps have you? Wrestle this."
Or somesuch : )

Strap them to the underground perimeter of a pool and make yourself a bathhouse.

Restrain them out in a small enclosure in the forest, made of 4 drawbridges.  Also restrain some sacrificial animals just outside that, to act as "incentive".  Next siege, lower the drawbridges, and create a forest fire to wipe out the gobbos/orcs/croco-orcs/whatever.

[Argonnek]

This revolutionary new heated bathhouse uses the combined heat of four fire imps.
How does it work, you ask?
The imps are chained underneath the floor and the fire they produce heats the water.
How do we make them create flames? Kittens of course!

[Greiger]

Offer them to the elves.  I'm sure the druids will be pleased...at least until the forest becomes a firestorm.

[Run Comrades]

If fire imps can breathe their fire through fortifications, I would make a room divided in the middle by a fortification, with the imp safely on one side, where no one can get to him.

On the other side, release some captured prisoners or perhaps some complaining dwarf!

Dunno if they can actually get fire through those though, could try grates or something instead? I've been wanting to do this for a while but the last time I caught a dragon my save got corrupted before I could get to it.

[scuba]

a giant maze/marathon for captured enemies. or a giant maze that leads to ur fortress but traps and surprises await

[Limul Thak]

I like the bath idea; have two of them under the bath, and the others in a pit at the entrance (a trap could drop a whole seige in to fight the imps; if they survive, leave them there to starve anyways).

[Byakugan01]

Is it even possible to restrain hostiles? Last time I tried to do that, I ended up with a loose titan in my fortress.

[PotatoMuncher]

BOOZE!!!! put them near booze, which are near all of your cages gobbos.

You'd basically build that just inside your front gate, dump an imp from above and open the floodgates when enemies arive. DF would pretty much turn into a Tower Defense game.
