Hey, welcome fellow NE Ohioan!

Before and after. After I pulled them out of the smoke (roughly 3.5-4 hours at 200F) They smell delicious.

As a fireman's son, it's hard for me to do this without being really worried, but you all seem to agree on this tactic, so I'll do it. I'll probably get up at 3am and rush to the window to check on it, though...

Thanks for the advice, guys. About to smoke a full tray of orange habs right now. I have another question, though. If I didnt burn through all of the coals and wood I used the first time on my dry run, should I reuse them?

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've posted here. I think I'll post some pics of what I've grown this year, after I address this: SO. I want to smoke some peppers and make hot sauce from them. I want to know what your preferred methods might be. I have a Weber Smokey Mountain 14". I just...

Good news, everybody. It rained for like two or three days and then the forecast was wrong and every day was nice.

Yeah, those are the kinds of holes squirrels were digging in my pots. Keep your eye out for nuts or nut shells. No joke, I've found peanut shells in my pots. I don't know where the hell the squirrels are getting them from, cause I don't eat them; probably neighbors. Not a lot of potted plants in...

All of my peppers are in pots on the porch. 2/3rds of them are in fabric pots, the rest are in plastic pots. All of the ones in fabric pots are outside the overhang over the porch, all of the ones in plastic pots are situated on the wall of the porch, so they would get less rain. Should I...

I use approximately 1 Tbsp of fish fertilizer in the watering can every time I water them, unless of course they've been rained on.  What's a TFM?

I have: 2 Chiltepin 3 Giant Ghost 2 Sepia Serpents And more Orange Scorpions and Carolina Reapers than I care to count. edit: oh, and 3 Chocolate Habanero

So I've been growing my plants from seed since late January, and they're still quite small, I'd say. I don't know if this is par for the course because maybe I got too late of a start and I ran into a fungus gnat problem (only saw a couple) from overwatering in probably around February. I backed...

Hey, nice to see a fellow Clevelander!

Thanks, it looks like Reddit was in agreement that it's common for squirrels to do this. I am using fish fertilizer. Damn. I also got tips about the chili powder, and seeing as I didn't want to waste all that spice, I looked up alternatives. Found...

So I came home from work today and found my overwintered habanero looking like this. Is it birds? Squirrels? I found something that looked like a tree nut in the pot, so Im thinking squirrels. Any tips on keeping them away? Fiancée and I just walked to a restaurant a couple blocks away, and...

Here is where Ive been keeping my peppers inside. Its a south-facing window, but there is a two-story apartmemt building probably 15 feet away, so they mostly get morning and evening sun unless I take them outside. I just transplanted one of my Orange Scorpions to a 5gal fabric pot, and I...

Here are pics of the peps and a close-up of one of my more developed peppers roots (Tepin in first pic its the one on the far left of the pan on the left, closest to the porch side): Edit (sorry root pic is sideways; mobile upload, hopefully it still gets the point across) Edit 2: pic 3 is of...

Hi all, I'm growing peppers from seed for the first time this year. I've been growing the seedlings in transparent solo cups (double-cup method), and I didn't have a fan on them. They're not looking that leggy, but I did transplant a reaper to a large pot and it's been outside for a couple weeks...

Good info! Wish I knew this before waking up to my horseradish being almost completely eaten this morning!

How do I bring it back from Acid Town? I like the heat, and the flavor is good initially, but over the course of a meal, it is waaay too sour. I need to pull it back and tone it down.

So I chopped up the serrano, and when I did, a few gnats were roused from their hiding places. Any idea what these bugs are, and what consequences they might have for my habanero plant thats doing alright, or the seedlings Im about to plant? Do I need to bust out the been oil? Been afraid to...
