This, I think, is the crux and I had it backwards.  I was thinking the
chiles would off-flavor the meat (now, that's a dumb thought!).  Since my
chiles were a total disaster and I've not retried, of course all meat's
going to taste otay coming out of the smoker.  And what peppers I've smoked
in the coals to flavor the meat, well one would not eat those.

Now it makes sense to me:  the fat ruining the chiles.

If I'm fortunate enuff to make it to IN this fall, maybe I'll trying smoking
again.  I've not been able to grow anything to the ripe stage (and some
critter got to all seedlings in the basement last year so I've not gone the
start from seed route again...) and what I can get in the stores here are
worthless.  Tho, I could try the farmer's market.

Getting the meat grease off the grill/smoker seems to be the problem I was
advised about a few years ago as that is what is supposed to off-flavor the
chiles.
