Hatch Chile roasting season is almost upon us. Here in SoCal this is a big deal with hundreds of people lining up for hours in the blazing sun to get their huge sacks of Chiles roasted.
They bring crews in from New Mexico that roast Chiles in propane fueled drum roasters. I know people here are savvy about all things fire, so I am wondering if any roasters use wood for fuel?
I love the gassed Chiles, I bought over 2 bushels last time, but I definitely can taste a propane taste/aftertaste. Just like everything else, I have to think that wood roasted Chiles would be far superior.
So, is it done, or am I just a dreamer?
