I finally have some chile roasting pictures! Yesterday, Tammy and Stephen came back over to help Jason and I again!! Tammy and I roasted 320 lbs. of chile and we were able to get some pictures. Now mind you that we mostly roast green chile, but after we were done we decided that we would pick some red and try it out. 
(the pictures are out of order) This is the final product. Red chiles are so sweet and flavorful! More so than the green.
We threw in a green pod just for fun!
This is the roaster in action.
You very slowly turn the roaster (by hand with this one) and let the flames blister the skin.
Close up of the chile while it is cooking.
The idea is to blister the skin but not over cook the flesh. It usually takes only 3 minutes to roast 20 lbs. So why does it take all day to do 320 lbs?!? It's the process afterwards of stopping the cooking by cooling the chili down with water.
This is right out of the roaster.Thanks again to Tammy and Stephen! It's wonderful to have friends that you can call in a pinch and they will be there. We are looking forward to be able to help you out on the ranch in the next couple of weeks!

Those middle pics of the chiles on a plate should be in a magazine! Beautiful and they look so tasty!
Thank you! I just got a new Canon digital camera and I really like it. Those fried Snickers do sound sinful, but worth a try!
BEAUTIFUL pics! I can almost taste the yummy chilis... almost... man, now I am hungry again:) Glad y'all are having fun! Please tell Tammy howdy from the circus...
Great chile photos! They're making me hungry for a chile relleno. ;-)
