I likwise smoke the peppers for use in powder and was long ago banned 
from even drying the pods in the house though the Thermador ovens were 
great for that purpose (sigh).  One additional choice is whether you 
smike them with exposed cavety facing up or down while you smoke the 
pods.  I have been smoking face up based, I think, on advice from 
someone here on the theory the juices stay in longer and infuse more 
flavor into the pods.  Thta has worked for me for everything from 
Jalapenos to Red Savina Habs.

Anyone have an opnion as to whether it is prefereable to smoke or simply 
dry mullatos, or chilehuacas if one's goal eventually is some Mole Negro?
