my first attempt at making my own. Had a bag of jalapeños in the freezer from last summers garden. Cherry, hickory are the woods, and I'm gonna try to keep it around 150.

    I'm waiting to hear how they turn out. Were they dried peppers that you froze?

    I always split open the peppers and run with lots of small pieces of lump.  Here's a link to my cook-down from last fall that may give you some insights.  The annual low BGE temp hi-heat habanero smoke down  Good luck and enjoy the outcome.

    I froze them whole, with plans to do this in the fall. Usual story, things got busy and they got shoved to the back and kinda forgotten about. So far so good, they are smelling wonderful. I'm planning on making a homemade adobo sauce and canning a few jars with these.

    Well they are super dry, and dark. Not sure if I left them on too long. But they don't smell burnt, just like smoky chilies.

    With the BGE moisture retention properties I always expect to run them at the low and slow temp for a good 24-30+ hours.  That said, if you are there then let 'em cool and grind them up.  I would wear gloves for personal protection...

    I have one hydrating and it's wonderful. Also fiery hot for me. I like your idea of grinding them for a powder. I think I'll do some that way and the others in sauce.
