smoking My first Chipolte powder

wayright

My Biker Billys have been turning like crazy.

So I decided to try my hand at Chipolte powder!

Chipolte was the main reason I even grew these guys.

Started out by puttin them on an expanded metal rack I made to make it easier to transfer and such.

I am very pleased with my first batch!
It tastes very true to Chipolte!
I wouldnt change a thing....well, except to make more!! :drooling:

So, did you taste one before you dried them? They look awesome. That powder looks good too.

I hope to be doing some habaneros here soon. Hopefully they will turn out as good as yours look.
 
Thanks guys!! :cheers:
I thought I had gotten them way too dark, but once I ground em up the color was great!

RPM, of course I had to munch a few before I dried em! ..YUM!

Fireman, I used a mason jar to grind em, attach your blender blades ...super easy!

:cool:

very nice color and I bet the aroma is outstanding....

way to go Kevin...
 
CHIPOTLE, not chipolte!!! :)
Looks good but to be critical, I would just call them smoked jalapenos. Chipotles is a buzz word today but true chipotles are smoked dry in large outdoor pits over several days and done in traditional Mexican ways with traditional woods
 
Thanks everyone! :)

AJ, you are correct sir...The aroma is heavenly!!

Prodigal, I also use the silica packs that AJ recommended!
But, having your pods super dry before grinding is essential

:cool:

looks :dance: awesome. what temp were you running on your smoke? i'm still waiting for my second flush of penos to turn. i think this round is going in the smoker after seeing this thread.
