> I originally wanted them to ripen and dry some poblanos (or have I got > that reversed) You have it reversed. A poblano is a fresh (green) chile; an ancho is a dried poblano. I don't know what term is used for red-ripe, still-hydrated poblanos, but I believe probably moot because they are rarely used in that form, but instead are either used green (unripe) or dried (fully ripe). --- Brent
