Hello all,
I have some Moruga Trinidad Scorpion peppers going full blast on my plant.
Has anyone dried / desicated them on your Smokette SM025 or similar?

I'd recommend smoke them at a very low temperature to prevent cooking. Once the pepper is smoked they can be dried in the sun or a dehydrator until they are similar to a pliable leather. Like this they will store in a closed container very well and can be ground, chopped, or re-hydrated for use in cooking.

I usually put them in dehydrator, then I crush the dried peppers using a spice grinder.
Need to say, it's best to do it outside with a fan or breeze to your back to keep the dust away from your face.
Well... I'm speaking from experience.
