Thanks for posting this. I'm going to have a boatload (for me, lol) of jalapenos that I'd love to make chipotles with.

ALX,

That looks amazing. Chipotles are one of my favorite, and it is good to see how a chile expert would smoke them. I burned up a whole batch a couple of years ago, and never tried again. With my new found knowledge, I may try once more.

Good information and impressive as usual.

Awesome post Alex! Beautiful peppers and this will be one I make sure to bookmark.
That is really a beautiful color, especially the once powdered, nice deep and red.

Going to check if I can get my GOSM to run that low a temp so I
can try this. I made an attempt a couple years ago but ended up with
too much of a burnt flavor.

Two questions.....

Without a dehydrator, what should I do after putting the smoke on them?

How do you make them into powder so nicely?

Alex, that is a great way of making red jalapeno chipotle.I envy th fact that you have so many more plants than I, allowing you to make a decent batch. Thanks for sharing the good information. Points to you.
