The word chipotle is way overused and improperly used in my opinion. True chipotles are smoke dried in smoke pits over several days with native Mexican woods and tecniques to preserve them
Smoking habs can be simple or more elaborate. To start, I'd smoke them on low heat for a few hours and then try them in a sauce, then smoke more if needed or finish drying them in a dehydrator

thanks Potawi.
I really like the tast of tabasco chiplote hot sauce, and itend to make a sauce similiar!

I usually smoke them about 4 hours on dying out ashes and then dehydrate - I find that there is a time when more isnt better -er

The last time we did this we just sliced the peppers in half and tossed them in a tiered grill/smoker.
We roasted them for a bit, then added the wet hickory wood, reduced the air, and smoked them for several hours.
Then off to the dehydrater, then the coffee mill.......... roasted/smoked pepper-powder!
