Funny, I was just looking online at how to do Chipotles. I just picked
most of the red ones, so may give them a week or so and try a batch
like that. Sounds good.

I have one of those barrel type barbeques with a small barrel on one
side and larger on the other. I might be able to use that. I've got
green maple.

Do you cook the chiles or just blister them. Sounds like they would be
pretty well cooked?

I also found a recipe for bread and butter jalapenos. Might try that, too.
