Reply to "Another way for peppers"

I have found the name of the yellow hots; Santa Fe Grande or Guero. They are a "common wax pepper that starts out yellow and turns thru orange to medium red. About the same size and shape as a Jalapeno, 2500-10,000 Scoville." They are very tasty and the oils seem to dissipate faster than Jalapenos which are also rated 2500-10,000 Scoville. A typical Habanero is rated 15,000 Scoville. I would guess the smoked/dried chilli above to be in the neighborhood of 8,000-11,000 Scoville. It seems everyone I have shared this with remarks at the smokey/pepper aroma as very good and they all seem to like the added taste and heat it gives food. I will do this again but, as SmokinOkie suggests, they'll stay in the smoker until done.
