    I don't grow my own. I've tried a couple times and failed. When I need more, I ask my friend to go get it from his friend, who grows and smokes and grinds it. I've never actually met the guy.

    Don't have a lot of answers for you. I do a lot of cooking, so I'd guess the answer to why is that it adds a nice smoke flavor, like how you can buy smoked paprika, and that it would make for a fairly quick and easy drying process so it can be ground up. By the taste, I'd guess he just uses oak. If I got to pick, I'd say apple would be nice.

    I know many people don't have a yard or time to do so, but they aren't too hard to grow, even in Minnesota, if you're willing to do it yourself. A 10 gallon pot can grow more than enough to last a year, though I find that 7-pot peppers tend to produce more pods for some reason.
