Chipotle peppers are smoked and dried red jalapeños. That’s it. I use a kamado-style smoker grill to smoke the red jalapeno peppers for at least 2-3 hours. The temperature needs to be very low to avoid cooking the peppers, ideally around 160°F or so. After smoking, all that’s left is to dehydrate the peppers into dried chipotles. These smoky peppers are a flavorful addition to spice blends, rubs, and soups and stews. Yum!

Could you freeze dry then instead?
Yeah these are better than jalapenos, spicier too. Even though it's the same pepper.
TIL what chipotle really is
I tried this yesterday, it was a fuc4ing awesome idea, my house smelled like heaven when I brought them inside and turned on the dehydrator. I’ve never smelled anything like it. First year growing peppers, I’m hooked. Thanks for the great channel.
