Last time I smoked some chicken, my wife asked me to toss a couple of bell peppers on the smoker, too.

So I did...and they came out very weird. When I cut into them, they were very soggy. I didn't smoke them very long, but I didn't cut the ends off either.

So how do I fix that? I don't mind if they're not crunchy, I just don't want them soggy. I'm kind of looking for the texture you might get for grilled bell peppers for fajitas.

Any tips?
 
Instead of smoking try fire roasting...Very high heat for just long enough to blister the skin will usually give you a firmer end product. I use my vortex to accomplish this.
 
Exactly what FREAK said!
 
Agree with the above. I have tried to smoke jalapenos a few times and have never been happy with the end result.

I will say high heat for crunch, but I smoked some jalapenos (froze them)
and they went into a chili today and added some flavors, about an hour on the stove...
You will not get crunch from slowly cooking veggies, just soggy veggies.
Which you may want.
