With all due respect to "Smokey" the BBQ chef...when you're making
chipotles you're not smoking sausages or BBQing ribs, you're using 
low heat and lot's of smoke in a very slow drying process.  

My chipotles have always come out pungent and smokey without a hint 
of bitterness.  Smoking meat or sausages and smoking chiles is not 
the same thing.  Trust me, a handfull of soggy hickory chips ain't 
gonna make it!
