 This may seem like common sence to some but FWIW:
 
 1. Make sure you use wood, preferably hardwood and definitly not the fake 
 pressed "logs".
 
 2. Do not use any oil in preparing the peppers.

Hi Creative Chef,

Gee,  I thought I was being creative by using the fireplace to smoke my 
chiles.  Thanks for your concern, and the peppers turned out wonderfully.  
They were totally dry in about 4 hours, and non-scorched.  (I had sliced them 
in half to begin with)  I intend to use this method in the future.  It was so 
easy to watch and tend on a rainy day.  Whenever the smoke stopped flowing 
over the chiles,  I moved afew more live coals from the adjacent fire under 
my set-up,  threw afew smoke-inducers on top,  and voila -- more smoke over 
the jalapenos.  Mmmmmmm.
