Hey Chuck,[p]I like that idea. My SmallMart carries a huge variety of peppers.....Hmmm I see a new project in my future.[p]Did you know that if you wrap the Guru's probes together with some tin foil, you can set the meat control to anywheres between 130° to 200° and get more accuracy. The meat control overrides the grate control. This works great for jerky, so it should work for peppers.[p]Happy Trails

chuckls,
i do the same thing with jap seeds after i get done making abts. i store the seeds in my freezer until i get a boatload of them, and then smoke dry them. makes excellent smoked chili powder!

chuckls,
That looks great! Any reason not to use green jalapenos? I'll have my own red ones in September but all I can get is green at the market.

Essex County,[p]I'm no expert but I think I read that the red ones are hotter, and maybe sweeter?? If that makes sense. Maybe one of the experts will chime in. I do know that if you have a green one with a bit of red or orange on it, as it ages it will turn red. That's how I got the red serranos in the picture - they were all green when I bought them.[p]Chuck

thirdeye,[p]My guru has only one probe - the other probe is a NuTemp probe so I can see what the grid temp actually is. I'm still learning with the guru - it was a gift from my wife - I've found that sometimes it gets way too hot (like this time), and I also had it lose temp on an overnight butt cook. We both hate to hear the low temp alarm sound in the middle of the night, I think that's why she got it for me. But my last butt cook it went off twice in the night anyway. [p]Happy Eggin'!

chuckls,[p]I know as they ripen, they go to red.[p]Here is a link to my favorite pepper site. Great pictures & info.[p]~thirdeye~

chuckls,[p]Gotcha. So on your model, once you find the sweet spot for the slider, you'll be in business.[p]~thirdeye~

chuckls,
green is hotter, paradoxically. true for most peppers except the small red/orange ones (habs, scotch bonnet, etc.)[p]smaller and green is hottest in general, except for the really hot-hot stuff).[p]i know that for jalapenos, the red means 'ripe', and that's not with regard to heat, but mature seeds. if youwant to plant from saved seeds, you need to let some go all the way to red.[p]
ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
chuckls,[p]Just a note: my grocer swears that the longer and skinnier a Jalepeno, the more mild the heat. Short fat ones are supposedly hotter. I have sort of tested the theory and it might actually be true, but I'm not totally convinced.[p]Ed

Essex County,
I've smoked both red and green ones together and have not noticed much difference. I don't let mine dry out though, once they are all shriveled up and gooey, I vacuum bag and freeze them. Both the heat and smoke flavor is really concentrated. -RP
