Hi all

thanks to everyone who replied about the hot bed. I have gone with a simple
raised garden, rather than a hot bed. I have had this week off work, and
decided that the spare wood under the house needed to be used, so a few
hours later I had a 1.5m x 3m garden in place. To get maximum return from
this I intend to plant my chillies at 25cm (10") spacing giving me a total
of 91 plants - Anchos, Hot Jals, Red Habs, Orange Habs, Tabascos, Rocotos,
Scotch Bonnets and Bird's Eyes (a.k.a Piri Piri by the sounds of it). Boy am
I looking forward to my crop!

Soooo, with all those Hot Jals I thought I would try making chipotles. Who
would like to advise me on a home made smoker for this? I thought of making
some kind of smoke box connected to a gas-fired hot plate, but then thought
I could just raise the top of my existing BBQ and put a metal skirt around
the middle to contain the smoke. Any ideas / advice most welcome.

Thanks in advance...

Steve in New Zealand.
