Hatch NM green chile roaster

[pmcgrady]

Plan on growing lots of peppers this year (150-200 plants). I've been thru Hatch NM a couple times when the whole town was roasting their green chiles, that smell of smoky green chiles is everywhere... Getting hungry for a green chile cheeseburger just thinking about it. I've been thinking of building a small roaster for myself, most in Hatch are propane fired, some are wood fired which I think would also smoke the chiles and make them taste better than they already do. A Weber grill would work, but for lots of peppers a roaster would be much quicker.
