Stopped in to buy two pumpkins and looked over at the far table and he had hot peppers.....all kinds of them. I said I will take a box of the hottest ones you have.
20 bucks for a box, I can't grow them that cheap  :o

Nice score.  What will you use them all for?

[devo]

Don't really know yet. Most I guess will get dried and ground up, for the left overs I'm sure I will find a use for them. I have a buddy down the road who loves hot peppers so he will be getting some to.

Round two in the smoker and will be ready around this time tomorrow @ 140 F and 4 hours of smoke seems to be just right for these babies.

As anyone who has done this you all ready know you must wear your Personal protective equipment (PPE).
Rubber gloves
Goggles
Respirator/Mask ( I'm not kidding)

You get this stuff in your eyes or breath it in your going to have a very bad day.
