Hi Mark,

Ah, chipotles!

This is the same method I use, except for slitting the peppers to release 
the moisture.  The thick skin on the jalapenos makes it a long process.  
After smoking (the peppers, that is), they then go into the gas stove, door 
ajar & on very low, for another day to finish the process.  Works 
great here!

Definitely use mesquite!

Take care.....from Kurt (CH#1155) in Angleton, Tejas.
