  Its a pleasure to see you posting here again CM!  Made my day.  :)  

  I dry mine at as close to 100f I can go because they retain color and the seeds are still viable done that way.  I feel you get a tastier powder at lower temps.  The trade off is definitely time though; thicker walled padrons and jalas can take 3 or 4 days.   

I've had some success leaving individual pods on a dry windowsill that gets good sunlight.  If they're still on a branch, I'll put the end in a vase filled with water and put it in a sunny window. 

  If you look at the average of what a pod weighs you can begin to extrapolate the price per pound.  It's a niche market product and not many people have them.  Fewer people have them fresh at any given time.    If your bhuts (or whatever super hot you have on hand) weighs an average of 20 grams...

You have previously started a thread asking about this.  I will leave that thread up and close this one. 

Looks to be a scotch bonnet of some type. 

today is national double cheeseburger day. So I'm off to find one, like the patriotic mfr that I am

my thoughts are to stop opening it and devise a means to keep the ingredients under the brine.  I have previously used a small (4oz) jelly jar in the neck of the larger jar to good effect. others have used a sandwich bag filled with pebbles or water.  most important is to stop introducing fresh...

Hey PT!   With regards to the 14" wsm - if it's fully loaded with wood, it should burn on its own (under favorable non windy conditions) for 6-8 hours, depending on how the vents are used.  Once you've finished and you still have hot coals just close all the vents down and leave the smoker on...

I've had em marinated that way too Ed.  I was told that it helps retain moisture and lessen the 'gaminess' of the meat.  Dove and quail are my favorite game birds.  Looks like a great weekend for you and the wife.  Top notch all around!  :)

I'm a word nerd, so take this as you like.   "north carolina reaper" should be simply "carolina reaper"   "less than 2%" should be removed completely   Add a heat meter as Salsa Lady suggested   Remove the "find us on etsy" and replace with a direct link, or even better put up your own webpage...

Welcome Jeff! :)  

welcome!  :)

black cobra?  have any ripened to red or?   edit: just want to shout out to NECM for all the assistance he provides in these threads.  I don't see many people regularly in this section of the forum trying to help people figure these issues out.  Respect to you my friend.  :)

You found one pic with the peppers growing upwards that was previously linked by bofu.  I recognize (and apologize) that I'm sh*tting on your parade, but if those pods stay facing up that is not a fresno.    IF they sort themselves out and droop as they ripen, well then yeah I could see it. ...
