Well, it was a good weekend for smoking, as you can see I did several different things, starting with some smoked jalapenos, can't find the finished pics, but they smoked for about 8 hrs, then went into the dehydrator.  I ground them today for a chipotle powder, smells great!  My first chipotles!! I learned how to from this site, thank you!  Next I had a few salmon pieces in the freezer, I decided to smoke, they went into the brine Saturday, then dried this morning, and smoked, the pic doesn't do em justice, they turned out amazing!, I believe its Bears brine I used from this site, very good.  Lastly, I made some snackin sticks!.  Just what I had on hand, about 4 lbs ground sirloin, 2 italian sausage patties, 3 of the jalapenos (about 1.5 hrs into the smoke, they were still green) and a seasoning packet from my local butcher.  I stuffed them Saturday, and smoked them today with the salmon, I was surprised how much heat the smoked jalapenos added to the snack sticks! Another great smoke!!

Great smoke!! I love smoked jalapeños but I just chop them up to add while cooking. I've never thought to grind them for Chipotle.

POINTS for a great idea
