Time to smoke my own Chipotle peppers!

[S.Six]

Okay, first time giving this a try. I've done jerky a few times, and it's turned out great. So I decided to do the same setup. Snake method with pecan for smoke.
Used about 10-12 lit coals.

Smoke like the wind!

As of now it been a little over 50min and I'm setting at 154°. I'm going to try to keep it between 150-180°. Wish me luck! More pix to come.

Do I need to invite myself over again when these are done?

 

[Bill Schultz]

Never done that Six, should be a nice batch

I look forward to seeing the final results. I never made my own chipotles before.

I am curious as to how these turn out. I read once that it takes 10 lbs of jalapeños to make 1 lb of chipotle peppers. No wonder they are so expensive!!!

Well after about 8 or so hours here's what I got.

The ones on the left are done ,but the ones on the right I'll have to put in the dehydrator to finish them off. Crushed up the done ones.

Put some on dinner tonight, and it kicked it up a notch!

Those things really shrunk. Cool smoke.

Don't lay them parallel with the cooking grate or they'll fall though. Learned that the hard way.

I can see that now.

Thanks for the update... I bet mixing it with refried beans or bbq beans would be good..

How did they taste? Would you make them again? Just curious as I have thought about making my own numerous times.

They tasted pretty good. Nice heat with a little bit of smokey flavor. It would be great in home made rubs, or just add it to any dish. Worth trying again I think.

Chipotles look great, Six.

Good to know! Thanks SS!

Interesting experiment. Think I'm going to have to give this one a try. Thanks for the idea!!

Looks awesome. I grill jalapenos often, but never tried to make chipotles yet - looks like that needs to be added to the to-do list.

Man there are allot of things that powder can go on.
