I've not noticed that green chiles are really hot enough to burn fingers but if you're concerned, just wear some medical gloves. I do keep a box in my kitchen for cutting up really hot peppers.
Peeling a roasted chile is quite easy. I do it under the faucet to help rinse off bits.
The key is to get all sides of the chile fairly black and blistered. Then, steam in a plastic bag until cool.
I roast mine on my indoor grill. They smell wonderful and it's just easier than starting the grill. I've burnt some when using the oven and find the grill burner is easier to keep an eye on.
