Well, I could say "damn those Mexicans!" for keeping all the good stuff to themselves, but I know the "Real Good Stuff" is grown in Indiana and Ohio, and made into sauces and dried products in those two states, by our own Jim C. and CaJohn. But enough bragging about my neighborhood. Capones? I wonder, do they take the seeds out before they smoke dry them or after? Both Habs and Jals that I have smoked, seem to loose their seeds easy after the smoking process. I would be concerned about loosing to much heat by deseeding before smoking, due to the simple fact that it is easy to cut some of the placenta out while they are still fresh. All of the Chipolte I have smoked were red. Anyone try green? Mike Shimek D & M Farms Chardon, Ohio
