I cooked a couple of racks of ribs yesterday in my WSM. Once they were
done I thought I'd make good use of the unburned lump by smoke drying
some hot peppers I'd recently harvested from my garden. I split the
peppers, laid them out on the top rack, shovelled a little more lump in
and tossed in a hunk of crabapple. I choked down the air intakes and 2
hours later the WSM was chugging along at 160. I left that going
overnight and figured to retrieve them in the morning.
This morning the peppers looked great, all shrivelled and dark but they
were still a little moist. I stuffed them into a jar and was ready to
stick the open jar in a window to dry when I had my genius idea for the
day. I put the jar in the microwave and set it for 2 minutes. Get'em
nice and hot - right?
I turned my back and the next thing you know my kitchen was filling
with clouds of smoke. Not nice smoke. It was like I had tear gassed my
own home. I was coughing and blowing my nose for the next hour. I think
I need supervision.

Haha, well it's not like you'll ever do that again. Thanks for posting,
since one of us might have that bright idea, or probably more on the money,
forget that we did that once and do it again. It's not like a buncha
collegiate kids on the NG, ya know.

Why would you assume that?

LOL, thanks Cam, almost as good as last year's entry: "Poison Oak tainted
building material gave us a rash when we burnt it." Though yours is more
believable by far.

It's things like this that keep us humble. Lord knows, I've done my share.

Still smilin' at a house smellin' of smoked hot peppers,

ROTFLMAO. The first thought that came to mind was "Don't try this at home."

You don't wanna be at my house when Jun is dry roasting Thai chiles in the
wok! I'm tearing, coughing and blowing my nose, while Jun stands at the
stove, stirring and singing.

As for me: "I've got to get to the next whiskey bar!"

Been there, done (sorta) that !!

I put seeded habanero chiles in my dehydrator in the kitchen. Went upstairs
for a few hours then came down to check on them. I damn near hit the floor.
It was like a face full of pepper spray.

Fortunately the wife was away for a few days so I could air things out in
peace.

Nope, Kurt Weill's wife, Lotte Lenya, singing a song by Bertold Brecht. I
have it on an audiotape of her, somewhere. Louis Armstrong incorporated her
in his rendition of "Mack the Knife", from Brecht's "Threepenny Opera."

For TFM, even though he's from Tennessee, I would add:

"Oh! Moon of Alabama
We now must say good-by
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey
Oh, you know why!"

Also good for reheating coffee. It's far better to just let the coffee
cool and microwave it later than it is to leave the coffee on a heater
plate.
