Powders

[Chorizo857_62J]

Not sure if there is a separate posting destination for making powders.  I split up my efforts between sauces and powders, but when I get overwhelmed with pods and no time or limited resources, I go to powders.  They seem to last much longer, and are quick to final production, whether smoked or straight.  Prepare (smoke or not), dehydrate, containerize.  A lot of mine go to household use, family and friends, and work.  They don't last long, which is good in a productive season. 
What I have here is a Yellow Habanero + Yellow scotch Bonnet powder, and a Red Bhut + Red Habanero powder.  Neither are smoked, but very pungent.

Powders are great, mainly use mine for popcorn

I have found that reluctant samplers are more inclined to have a sprinkle than a douse of hot sauce.

A quick search turned up:

2nd attempt with dehydrating peppers for powder in The Test Kitchen
citrus zest in pepper powder??? in The Test Kitchen
Chile powder in The Test Kitchen
Dehydrating peppers for powder, suggestions? in The Test Kitchen
How I make Chile powder in The Test Kitchen

Looks like The Test Kitchen is where others have posted about powders?

I've switched to almost exclusively going the powder route for any peppers I can't use fresh. They definitely store better long term than a mash.
 
You can also make great hot sauce with the powder. Whip as much or as little as you like at a time - don't need to commit to a large batch and super easy to adjust flavors and heat level.
