Need Advice on Roasting Hatch Chiles

I got 9 lbs. of big, plump beauties and plan to roast them in the Large with grid on the fire ring, about 400°, till black blistered, cool on sheet trays, then vacuum-seal and freeze them with skins on.

I read somewhere to slit the side and remove seeds and ribs before roasting, but that's an awful lot of work up front.

Do I roast with the lid up or down? Anything else you can add?

Thanks.

    I don't split them. Just like you said with the lid down. Check and turn them. Love this time of year.

    That's exactly how I do them (don't slit, lid down at about 400 or so) except I remove the blackened skins before vacuum freezing them.
    Have to agree with cookin biker, I love this time of year. My hatch green chile order goes in next week.
    My guy in NM has already shipped me 40 pounds of Hatch Jalapenos most of which we pickled and canned and the rest were roasted and frozen. The flavor of those things is unreal.

    Judy this weekend and last we did it the easy way. Bought them already done in Austin ;)
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.

    Have not seen the jalap hatch here. Huh, maybe I'll hit a few stands around town and inquire.

    Hi Mickey!

    The roasted and frozen chiles were $6.99 a lb., the fresh were $1.79 a lb. Not much of a choice, eh?
