Hobby brings up a good point here about moving the lid back a bit-

You need to remember that you are not 'smoking' your chiles.  You are
'smoke DRYING' your chiles.  Smokers are not set up to have the air
exchanges necessary to do a good job.  For the best results, you should
occasionally remove the lid entirely to allow the excess moisture to
escape.  This allows you to dry in a fraction of the time and also to
smoke at lower temperatures.
