Michael Douglas says
Can paprika peppers be smoked like jalapenos? What does that do to the heat/flavor?
REPLY: Michael, YES, you smoke any peppers to add a bit of smoky flavor to them. It won't really affect the heat level. Flavors can vary depending on the type of wood you use. -- Mike from Chili Pepper Madness.
