[CH] Hab Surplus?

Through a fortunate series of events I find myself with about 5 
pounds of fresh habs.  I am a jerkaholic so I won't have any trouble 
using some of them right away but I have way too many to use before 
they might go bad.

I have a dehydrator and a smoker.  I was planning to dry some whole 
for later use in jerk paste.  I've never smoked peppers before but 
all the references on the list about smoked hab powder have me 
wanting to try my hand at it.  Should they be smoked whole or should 
I slice them in half (more surface exposed to the smoke?).  Anyone 
have any suggestions?

I'd also appreciate any other suggestions for preserving peppers that 
anyone might have.

Thanks,
Tim Adair
