Ingredients
- 2 lbs jalapeños
Instructions
- Wash jalapeno peppers.
- You can smoke jalapenos with their stems, seeds, and membranes intact, but I prefer to remove the stems or tops. Smoke is permitted inside each jalapeno to enhance flavor from the inside out.
- Start your smoker and set to 220 degrees. We prefer to use apple or pecan to enhance flavor but your favorite wood or pellets will work.
- Place the jalapenos on the rack in a single layer leaving a little space between each jalapeno. After placing your jalapeno peppers on the grill, close the lid.
- If using smaller Chipotle peppers (ripe jalapenos), you may want to use a grilling tray depending on the size of your grill grates.
- Check every hour for approximately 4 hours.
- Unless there are known hot spots, there's no need to move jalapeno peppers around or move them at all. I usually place jalapeno peppers around my hotspot so I don't have to move them at all.
- Jalapeno peppers will dry, turn black and look dark and leathery when fully smoked.
- Remove from smoker and place on platter.
- Chipotles are done in less time usually and look a dark rich color, are fragile and super light too.
- Store smoked Chipotle or jalapeno peppers in jars or storage bags.
- Grind them into a powder or simply break them up into flakes with your fingers to add flavor to other dishes. Enjoy!
