>Is there any special way to make the powder from them I asked a similar question not too long ago, because I wasn't ending up with "powder", I was getting "chunks." Just about *everyone* recommended that I get one of those small electric coffee grinders and reserve it just for peppers. They work GREAT!! But I would caution you to use it in front of an exhaust fan, because when you open it up it's like getting hit in the face with pepper spray. <g> (The voice of experience, heh heh...) >Penzeys Spices sells Ancho chile powder (stock #42019), for $8.40 per pound >Jalapeno powder (#41641), $5.99 per 4 oz >Chipotle Powder (#51444), $8.49 per 4 oz > >They are located in Wisconsin.

I've done business with them for years, too, and can add my recommendation to Jeff's.
