Okay - I have a few Red Bhuts that I'm not sure what to do with - figured that I could make a bottle or two of hot sauce. I was inspired to share this project by Paulky's Hot-n-Heavy post and will share my progress. So far, all that I've done is cut an de-seed the bhuts - plus a few butch-t scorpions. Next step - cold smoke them. I prepared a mixture of mesquite and cherry - started them around 3:30 this afternoon - cold smoke will probably go for around 6 hours. I'll take them off tonight and continue with the project tomorrow. If anyone has any suggestions on what may be a good recipe for smoked red bhuts, I'd like to hear it - else, I'll just wing it and come up with something tomorrow. Only had about a gallon bag of pods so I won't get to much of a yield, but I'll have fun making something - deseeded them before starting the cold smoke. Will keep temperature below 150F so they won't cook. I'll post more pictures when I start the sauce. Thanks to Paulky for giving me the idea.
