Has anyone ever tried smoking hatch chiles?
I have a bunch of them that are probably going to go bad unless I do something. Thinking about cutting them in half and smoking them. Would appreciate any advice on how to do this (i.e. should I roast & peel them first, or will the skin soften up in the smoker)?
There is a post from DTAggie.
He did them last year and this year.

Smoked Hatch Chiles?
Do not LIBERALLY BLEND INTO your baked bean mix.
OK? Just roll with me on this one... :o
When I get them, they roast them at the store in a big mesh tumbler with gas/propane jets shooting heat/fire across the tumbler. I do not actually smoke or roast them myself. I would think you could split them, de-seed and smoke for an hour or so at a high temp then vac seal and freeze for future use.
