Great, those are the perfect ones for smoking and making chipotles out of.

Thats exactly what I was thinking.
I was also thinking about wrapping in a blanky cause the nights are getting kinda cold and the plant still has allot of pods on it

Got the Thai peppers smoked and dried. Took 3 days at 90* in my dehydrator to dry the peppers.




De stemmed ready to grind.

Here is the Thai all ground. WOWSERS smells hot even  ;D



Had to label the bottle. I'm thinking Thai jerky?  Even saved some seeds for next planting.

Here are my dried and/or smoked peppers. Looks like I better do some grinding one of these days.  :)

I grew Thais last year.  I didn't dry or smoke the "leftovers".  I just left 'em on the window sill.  It seemed to me that they got a LOT hotter after sitting there for several months.  Do they seem to be hotter after the dehydrator?

Where there's smoke, there's food.

It depends on how you use them. I mean eating a pepper raw will seem hotter than if it was cooked in a stew or something. Dried I think it retains all the heat but loses moisture, which is not heat. But to try to eat a dried pepper?  I actually think the heat should pretty much stay about the same, you lose moisture during the dehydration but if you rehydrate them you are putting back moisture. But I can not say 100% either way.

Thanks for the info pens.  No, I didn't eat a dried one  :o  It seemed that I could chop up a few, fresh off the bush, for chili and they didn't have all that much kick.  Much later I chopped up a couple for the chili and it was HOT.  That's why I asked about fresh vs dried heat.
