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.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶️?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧

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.

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.

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