Thanks for the tip Sandy,

There is nothing commercial about my question, just a fanatical perfectionist about home eating.  The cooking always seems to be in the middle, though.

I'll have to try some of their powders.  I'm looking for a home use solution.  I'm sitting on about 10 pounds of my favorites and I have made myself tons of chili sauce that I now use in a lot of places that I used to use powder.  There are some applications that call for fine powder, just because of the chemistry of the whole thing.

Thanks,
Russ

I have to second Matt's comments about John T.'s powders...the best 
homegrown and processed powders I've used since Calvin's. John was kind 
enough to send me little bottles of about nine different kinds and I'm 
enjoying every grain!  Most of them are just fine for my moderate tongue too 
;^)

On the commercial level, we have both Jim C. and Dan T. who do a smashing 
job of producing chile powders and blends.  But, I envision them or their 
employees using huge, stainless steel blenders and dryers and grinders to 
produce their wares.  It's the home cook with the spice grinder and paper 
mask to keep from chocking that amazes me with their dedication and skill.
