This is a smoked pepper powder I just finished up. It's a combination of different hot peppers from my garden that needed to be preserved or thrown away including Jalapenos, Serrano's, Cayennes, Sriracha, Yellow Reaper, Cajun Belle, Trinidad Scorpion, Aji Rico, Hungarian Wax Peppers and sweet red peppers. I smoked them overnight on mesquite pellets and had them on low heat until 6pm today to completely dessicate the peppers until they crumbled easily.
Ground in the food processor until they were as fine a powder as I could get them, the 2 gallons of peppers came out to one full quart jar of pepper powder. It's smokey, deliciously hot with a smell similar to roasted coffee. Highly recommend making some yourselves.

Awesome! Did you dehydrate the peppers first then put them into the smoker?
That sounds really tasty.
Making your own pepper powder is always awesome. I haven’t bought cayenne powder in years. I also make my own ghost pepper and reaper powder. So good
