I smoke most of the peppers I grow. They taste great, but it doesn't seem to cut down on the heat much, if at all. A couple hours in the smoker and then dry them. They take on a lovely chipotle-like flavor. I actually prefer them to fresh peppers for most applications. My personal favorite is Thai chiles. The plants produce copious amounts of fruit and the heat level is just right after a good smoke. I've done Carolina reapers, ghosts, scorpions, habaneros, etc. But the thais are the best in my opinion. Great flavor without your head exploding.
