Jim - thanks for the warning.  That was one place I was going to give a try.
Ever since I bought chipotles from you a few years ago I have been seriously
addicted.  It is now at the point where I grow 4 jalepeno plants
dedicated to the
smoker.  I have found one of those Little Chief type of cold smokers works 
really well as the smoke flavour gets really deep into the pepper before it
dehydrates.  It usually takes 2-3 days on the smoker before they are ready.

Oh yeah - rocotos done the same way are something to be experienced!!!

Have fun - that's somewhere I intend on visiting although New Zealand is pretty
high on the list too.  Of course, looking out the window at the 1/4" inch crust
that is the end result of last nights freezing rain storm, anywhere in
the southern
hemisphere is appealing ;-)

Cheers,
