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,
