Lessons learned while smoking frozen anchos:
1. Apple wood was a good choice, might try pecan next time.
2. It was a good thing to thaw them prior to removing stems/cores.
3. I should have cut them in half length-wise to increase smoke
permeation(?).
4. By eventually correcting error of #2, approx. half thru smoking, drying
times were significantly shorter than the whole smoked frozen habs.
5. Will probably char to remove "skin" prior to freezing next time.
6. They turned out beautiful, (deeper darker red than unsmoked) and
delicious.
