I don't typically smoke my poppers because it overcooks the jalapenos -- makes 'em too soft.
I wonder if freezing them first would help? Can expose them to smoke longer without them cooking as much, though the freezing process in general likely impacts their 'snap'.
I just tend to do my under a broiler or over charcoal because I still want some feedback in the jalapeno. In the amount of time it takes to cook bacon at 225 degrees, the jalapenos get limp.
