>>smoke peppers is so I can have chipotles.

The method I use for smoking jalpenos (and habs) is to use an old couscous
pot and a hotplate.

Fill the bottom section with woodchips, sawdust, etc.
Put chiles in top section, with cover.  (I put baking paper in first so the
chiles don't directly touch the metal).
Smoke several hours (5 or 6 works fine for me), adding wood and adjusting
heat as needed.
Finish drying in food dehydrator.

I did smoke 'till dry once,  but the results were the same and it took about
30 hours, so it's easier to use the dehydrator to finish them off.

I powder some and use as a base for BBQ sauce.
