Chipotle smoked chilles

[More basil]

Hello,

Has anyone ever made homemade chipotle peppers? As I understand it, they are smoked jalapenos. Investing in a house with an ingenook fireplace so I can hang garlands of chillies next to hams in the chimney to slowly smoke seems a little over the top so does anyone have any slightly more practical ideas of achieving that rich deep flavour of a chipotle?

I've no idea whether this would work for chillis but I have a smoker like this Cameron Stovetop Smoker
Its great for fish!

Thanks- could be worth a try if I can keep the temperature down so they don't cook. And like the idea of smoked fish.

Oh dear- What a lot of great toys on that website. I now also really want a dehydrator and an outdoor oven. Pity Santa has already packed his sleigh...

That's a hot smoker VC. It cooks food and smokes it if you add oak sawdust.

Cold smoking does no cooking as the heat source isn't close enough.

Btw........I made a hot smoker out of two 99p turkey dishes hinged together with a small bean tin with some meths in it put under them. Brilliant for taking trout fishing with me because if i was fortunate enough to actually catch a fish, i could have it hot smoked and cooked within 20 minutes!

This threads been tangetised!

Aahh But, Mr Tangentiser, I have never eaten a Chipotle chilli in my life - never even seen one. So are they they smokey but raw ?

By coincidence this link just popped up on FB. I'm sure you have some old flowerpots, Snadger
