Smoked these jalapeños for 2 hrs at 225* while smoking some ribs. They’ve been sliced and placed into the freezer until brew day and will go into the boil at 10-15 mins:
A nice day so I smoked a bit myself:
After the meat was done I smoked 6.5 lbs of grains (~2/3). The first few were smoked for 30 mins at 175-200* and the grains were moistened much like when conditioning the malts. The last bit was smoked for 45 mins as the temps were closer to 150*. I didn’t bother turning the grains and you can see they’re smoked on foil lined trays. Afterwards they were placed in a paper bag and smell amazing!
