Cold smoking

I've got about two pounds of Fresnos here. Any suggestions on how long I should let them go for? Gonna mix these with some chocolate seven pots for a nice smokey hot sauce.

Thanks!
 
Probably around 2 hours. You will be able to tell by the texture of the peppers. Keep an eye on them and keep them away from direct heat. As they are closer to being done you can slide them more torwards the heat for a crispier texture. Good luck!
 
There are many different techniques but I like to smoke for at least half a day with light smoke. I just smoked a batch of fresnos too for a milder sauce I'm working on with roasted Numex/Anaheims
 
When I do peppers in the Big Green Egg @ 220 deg. I usually leave them in for about an hour to an hour and a half.

After I smoke them I dry them then grind them into a coarse powder, Awesome flavor for sprinkling on most anything!!!
