Ok, they are in the bag, cooling, but I must say that I have to modify
this for the next batch.  My poblanos were small this year, like Baby
Bells, and they kept falling through the rack.  My thirty year old range
 element doesn't broil evenly, so I will need to put the chilis on a
roasting pan or pizza pan so that I can move them around a bit, both in
the pan and in the oven space.  Do they have to cool completely, or just
cool enough to handle?

Has anyone else had a problem with peppers this year?

I'm growing Anaheims, Serranos, and Poblanos.
I've had low yields and low fruit size, small to medium plants.  It is
not a lack of rain, but maybe a lack of heat?  This has been the coolest
summer I can remember.  I'm not sure we even hit 95, let alone 100 this
year.  The humidity has been lower, too. It has been overcast and
cooler, almost tolerable.<g>  Very odd.  Reminds of the IceAgeNow guy,
what's his name...  Oh well.  Robert Felix author of Not by Fire, But By
 Ice.  Yeah.
