Yesterday I looked at the back label of a jar of Badia "pimenton ahumado" smoked paprkia I have on hand. It said the peppers are smoked over oak, for eight to ten days. I've smoked a few rounds on my New Braunfels Big Texas, but it's difficult to avoid scorching them. The whole grill is about as large as the fireboxes on some offset smokers. I still have purira peppers from the fields, and I'm thinking of quick-smoking a portion of them, to go into a sauce with the rest of them. I haven't made a smoked-pepper hot sauce yet, so maybe that will be this year's angle. - A _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
