Mr. Smokin Lee set me up with a BOATLOAD of peppers…Japs and Serranos. The Japs are already Mrs. Gunslinger's relish…MMM!
The Serranos are about to become Chip powder :{)



The dragonfly came free in the Serrano shipment :{)




And into the sausage machine for some smoke and dehy… yummmm!



Getting closer. Combined 2 racks to 1 here, and the wettest ones alone on top. I'll expect perhaps 3 OZ powder out of 5 pounds of peppers. Next time you ask why pepper spices are so expensive.... this is why. The BTU's and time required to evap that water... HUGE.

Wow, this is definitely enlightening. Once fully dehydrated, do you just run it through a blender to make the final powder?

Actually I will probably use my meat grinder for a rough cut to deal with the seeds a bit. Blenders/coffee mills seem to have a hard time with them. Then blend/mill to finish.

BTW grapevine is the wood of choice for the smoke. Interesting "nose".
