Yes indeed. That's the way to do it.

58limited See post #10. My only complaint is the paint immediately started to flake off, but compared to the price of the stainless ones I'm ok with that.

Which roaster did you buy?

[Attjack]

I'm going to have find out where the store I get them at sources their peppers. If it's not legit I'll have to order online.

You don't mess around!

Many thanks fer th link, Attjack! Much appreciated.

Aahh, now I (think) I see what they're sayin, an it makes perfeck sense to me...

They're sayin roasted greens taste smokier than roasted red, which I find quite a logical conclusion.

I was scramblin my mind (Scary Place, btw) to fathom how they were gittin any smokiness outta unroasted greens...

Makes perfeck sense, an I posit that both green an red take on th same smoke...

Capsaicin tips th balance of perception, in th latter

"While green and red Hatch chiles are really just the same pepper picked at different times, they do offer different flavors. "When picked early and then roasted, Hatch green chiles have a very smoky, upfront flavor," explains Cotanch. "Then as the chiles mature and turn red, they develop a slightly sweeter flavor profile and a more earthy underlying taste."

Mr. Bones My local grocery store gets them from The Hatch Chile Store. At least that’s the boxes they have them in. I get fresher chiles ordering directly from The Hatch Chile Store though.

[Mr. Bones]

Quite right, Brother!

Thing is, as well: I can buy seeds, grow em here in Th Territories, an sell em as "Hatch Chile Peppers", but they jus ain't th same animule...

Different climate, soil, sunlight, rainfall, etc., usw.

Mosta what yall (and I) see in yer local grocers ain't never even heared of no danged New Mexico

Nice folks at The Hatch Chili Store. Very responsive, very helpful. Highly recommended if you can't purchase them locally.

I think the Chargers are my favorite although Big Jims are great too.

[Mr. Bones]

Some educational readin, here: LINK might help ya decide...

[Mr. Bones]

Yup, I buy several different varieties...Big Jim/Charger are at optimum, now...
I wait 'til September fer th hotties to ripen/hotten up, such as Sandia/G76, or Lumbre...
