Not Q but Hatch Chile Pron...

[BobBrisket]

We took the 5th out to Las Cruces, NM this weekend just to get out of town(a whole 40 miles away) and enjoy some family time. A buddy of mine drove up to Hatch and bought 6 sacks and dropped mine off on his way back to El Paso. I took the SJP and loaded it up with coal and roasted away the day.........I also got pretty toasted myself!

The Big Jim wasn't as hot as in passed years and neither was the Sandia according to my buddy.

The set up and my helper. He tossed fresh chiles onto the grill as I cleared out the roasted ones.

The innocence of children!! My favorite pic. He must have sat there for about 5 minutes with that chile in his hand just like that waiting to toss it onto the grill. I just had to take a picture. Maybe he knew what he was implying.............maybe he didn't!!
I call it........"Little Man, BIG Chile!"

I ended up giving some bags away to some folks at the RV Park and a couple bags to my neighbor for watching the house. My take was about 8 quart size bags. It will get ME through the winter. Wife says it's too hot for her. More for me.

Nice Bob!

I grew a Big Jim plant (in pot) this summer and harvested a grand total of 8 chiles off it. (It is flowering again, may get a secod harvest.) They were HOTTER than usual, but .... they also topped out at about 4 inches. They were Little Jims.

Hey Bob: Just wondering what a full gunny sack costs. And, by chance, did you save any seeds?
