Works great. Thanks #1 to secretive lurker who
suggested keeping the coffee grinder full for best
dust. It worked so much better than using a fixed
amount. I was skeptical because I've ground chiles in
a coffee grinder many many times previously.

But - if you run it long enough (it sounds like a cat
losing a fight with a hair drier) and refill it as the
chopped-up chiles are able to spin under the blade
height, yes, eventually it will make an even,
consistent particle size powder. 

Thanks #2: And toaster-ovening the "chewy" ones first
worked perfectly too! Makes an incredible aroma no
less. (although one man's love is another man's hate.)

Wow, it's like you guys have been asked this, uh, 5000
times before. Thanks #3 for tolerance.
