chinense Chocolate Scorpions - Destined for the Smoker

[buddy]

Received this box of chocolate Scorpions from Dale at Baker's Peppers.  They are some of the finest, most consistent pods that I've ever seen - they're beautiful.  Sampled one of them - great flavor and way more than enough heat!  They have an appointment with the smoker this weekend - just not sure whether they will end up as flakes, powder, or sauce . . . hmmm - maybe a little of each.  Love the flavor of smoked chocolates!

 My vote would be put a few away  for a sauce. I love me some chocolate sauce T 
 
The rest make some of your amazing flakes.

maybe some smoked chocolate puree (Illini tailgating season is coming up and I'll need a good Bloody mix) . . . the rest a combo smoked chocolate/red scorpion flakes.

trust me . . . some will be coming your way.  still can't compete with shirt and thai!

I will keep the temperature around 180 (or below) and will most likely use a 75/25 combination of apple/cherry for 4-5 hours of consistent smoke.  take care.

i do a 50 50 ratio of apple and cherry wood.  Maybe i will try your ratio in the future.
