    Holy cow, it IS that time of year already!  Snuck right up on me.
     
    And if anyone here has a Joetisserie with a basket, and roasts their Hatch with it, would love to see pics and hear comments; lump/wood-roasted chilies would be much better, I'd bet, than the propane-blasted chiles.

    Agree, my first batch was direct on the grill.  I have the Joetisserie and may give it a shot on my next batch!

    I bought 1 1/2 case (about 35 pounds) at United last weekend. They roasted them in their big drum. Then my wife and I peeled them and put them up in Ziplock bags, 5 oz to a bag. 
    Yeah, we like ‘em.
    I didn’t count, but that’s around 50 bags. 
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Round two, I don't have a large basket, however this worked well!

    Waiting for vanilla to come out with smell-o-vision. Love the smell of roasting chilis.

    No photos, but I just lay them on the grate with the lid open. Doesn't take long and works well.
    And thanks for the reminder from here! Man, time just goes whistling on by, doesn't it?

    It's clear that using an Egg, either with a grill or a Joetisserie basket, is not that practical for a bushel of chile, but I'm still really anxious to hear your comments on the flavor, whether the lump/smoke changes the flavor for the better.  Would be worth doing for that "special" dish (not to mention, enjoying that unique and wonderful smell, off-season!)

    I have never purchased the pre- roasted chiles.  The flavor off of the Egg is amazing.  I am sure one of those larger cylinder baskets would work well, I just don't have one...
