Hi Janet,

I'd use just a few briquets, maybe 10 or 15.  Pile them up on one 
side of the kettle and put your chiles on the other side.  Soak your 
smoking wood for about 1/2 hour in water before you start the 
coals.  The idea here is to create smoke, with not a lot of heat.  I 
would cut the chiles in half before smoking them but you don't have 
to.  I usually smoke them for 3 or four hours and finish them off in a 
dehydrator.
