I wish my growing season was longer than 3 months around here, I'd try growing some peps myself. He have a saying around here, We have 9 months of winter and 3 months of relatives coming to visit... I'm kinda wondering now, do peppers ripen up via the same ethylene gas that ripe fruit puts off? Could I buy $0.99/lb green japs and use ripe tomatoes or apples to get them red?? Could I call them the "C" word then Larry?

G'Day Knuck,
I've never seen this before. I can see how full you've got the firebox when you start, for a very long burn. You must have to dampen it down a lot. Do you close the exhaust at all. Secondly, I can't see what temp you're trying for???

There was no sarcasm intended at all. They are what they are. You can choose to call them whatever you want. I'm not going to call them chipotles. They are smoked jalapenos. And there's nothing wrong with smoked jalapenos, I actually used smoked jalapeno powder all the time.
The flavor profile between a green jalapeno and a red ripe jalapeno is different and when smoked gives an entirely different flavor. I'm not stirring the pot at all. One of the great things about this forum is the free exchange of ideas, techniques and other information. We have to be able to say something isn't quite right or we end up just telling each other how great we are and that doesn't lead to learning. There are others who would have jumped all over you for calling something chipotle when it wasn't. I thought my approach was gentle, yet effective. Be that as it may, what you posted and your technique is very informative and I'm sure the powder you make will be awesome. And as a PS. When you grind that stuff, do it outside and wear a respirator.

Question - I can not find red jalapenos anywhere near me. Sometimes a green one that is partially orange bordering on red - but is it the same species that has ripened or is it a sub-species? I do understand the flavor difference between the two but if they both come from the same plant, does the red come from vine ripening only?

Obviously the best way is to let them redden on the plant, but that can't always be done. Most of the mom and pop places here simply sort out the ones that are turning red and then sell them for more simply cause of the color. I need to make another batch of the jap flakes I smoked up some months back. That stuff perks up all kinds of stuff from salsas to plain ol mashed taters. You can also leave some of em whole and dried for later use in things like soups and stews. Man, that grate full of japs looks nice!! Bob

I'd be interested to see how that works out. The flavor profile is quite different. Much the same way a very green banana tastes vs. one that's nice and ripe. But, that addition of smoke flavor........that's the ticket.
Bob

lol, sorry, I meant to say that I will try ripening some peppers in a bag with a Toe-mah-Toe, not tomatoe... (my english MOL would be giving me looks right now). And I think Bob was trying to say that he likes his smoked jalapenos in smashed poe-ta'-toes. This whole online interaction thing was soooo much easier when I could just assume that everyone was just as big of an A-Hole as I was...

Alright, there is about 1 & 1/2 chimneys of unlit briqs and about 6'ish lit ones on the left side of the firebox (the furthest from the vents on mine). I keep the firebox vent completely closed, and the top stack wide open. The chargrillers are notoriously leaky and so plenty of air gets in for a low temp smoke like this one. It doesn't burn as clean as what I usually look for when q'ing meats, but it's a pepper and going to be used as an ingredient, so I'm ok with the heavier smoke on it. The lid temp usually is between 75 - 100*F I really don't want to cook the peppers so I try to keep it low. From times past, I have found that if the temp isn't up between the 75-100 range then A) the peppers take much longer to dry (especially if it's humid outside) B) they don't darken up as much, they tend to stay more green and while it's ok, I like the kind of toasted flavor that the darkend ones have, the flavor stands out more in rubs and in dishes. Just try not to burn em', that taste is not good. Oh, in regards to the amount of fuel and duration of smoke... Honestly, this is the first time I've done it all in one fail swoop, since it takes so long, usually I smoke it either through the day into night, the fire dies and then sometime in the next 12 hours I fire it back up and let it roll for another full basket of briqs... This time I ended up burning 2 & 1/2 baskets of briqs and almost all of an 8lb of a bag of mesq chunks. In all, they were prolly there for about 32 hours... the last 12 of which were really just to keep warm air moving to dehydrate them, no smoke during that time. Here's a pic of them collected off the grill - I started with 2 heaping bowls this size and ended up with about 3/4 of a bowl. I started with about 12.5 lbs and after weighing, I have just ever so slightly more than a pound and they're not quite all fully dried... Think of all the liquid smoke I could have caught from them! Anyone catch Alton's method in his beef jerky episode? BTW - is it still a crime to use LS even if you make your own?
