smoking HOW DO YOU SMOKE YOUR PEPPERS?

[skullbiker]

If you smoke some of your peppers maybe you could post what wood you use, what temperature, how long, and maybe why you do it the way you do.

I smoked some JPGS in my little WSM a couple years ago. I used a fuse-style pellet holder with pecan pellets and kept the temperature below 100°F for about four hours. Then into the dehydrator. It made a very nice powder.

Ah, here they are:

It came out brown. Other two are Reaper and Lemon Drop. I got five or six of those vials worth from the bowl of pods pictured.

I do hardwood lump, pecan for smoke, stabilize around 100, and let em go until they have good color. 2-3 hours.

Pecan is used for chipoltes in Mexico so it's always my first choice. Though fruit woods work very well too.

Thanks for the replies. I thought I would get a massive amount of responses to this thread, but, alas not so much.
Anyway I just did the same ol' thing with my last batch. Half apple wood and half cherry, 140°f for an hour. They turned out great.

Yuppers. I like the sweetness that pecan gives.

I figured there would be more discussion on this subject as well.

What peppers are all those if I may ask?

I've only smoked peppers a couple of times, but they always turned out well.
I did it on a converted Smokey Joe with Peach wood chunks (my personal favorite). I only smoke them for 2-3 hours with the temps around 215F. Then I put them into a dehydrator until they are completely dried out.

#1 is Orange Spice Jalapenos, #2, #3, #4 are assorted jalapenos(Biker Billy, Emerald Fire, & Mucho Nacho) plus some Cherry Bombs and also some Sugar Rush Peach, #5 is just Biker Billy Jalapenos, #6 is assorted sweet peppers, #7 is blended Cherry Bombs, and #8 is blended tomatoes. Probably 18 to 20 pounds total.
