Grilled/Smoked Habs for Sauce Question.

[scarpetti]

I have 50 orange habs and a bunch of red fresnos here and I'm thinking of smoking 1/2 of them before making sauce. (On the grill, not in my wife's bong!!!) Do you all leave the skins on or peel them off after the grilling??? I tried it 5 years ago but can't remember if the skins got too tough and chewy.

You can roast them and peel the skins off(high heat) but if you're smoking them you probably won't want or need to peel them

Thank you sir! Lighting the grill RIGHT NOW!!!!!! Hope it's not a "Spare The Air Day".... Like I care.
