Folks,
I stumbled into the opportunity tonight to acquire several #s of chiles for
virtually no $.  As I already have my smoker going, I thought it was a
natural to smoke all these bad boys and then dry or freeze. In my efforts
not to create a huge catastrophe, I did a search on smoked chile...bad idea.
numerous hits, each totally conflicting with each other!!!  I have smoked
small quantities before; I believe they were suitable only for freezing and
becoming red/green chili at a later date.  I could use some more definitive
advice (different methods for different peppers is OK)  I have : LOTS of
jalapenos, wax, serrano, etc
                     half dozen poblano
                     half dozen annaheim
Would like to be able to stuff anything I can would really be the only
criteria.  This is quite the coup for CT in February!!!  Thanks,
Nancee
