Egret's ABT's and beer battered onion rings

Jeremiah

This just took over for my favorite egg cook. (Brisket and D.O. Chuck roast 2nd and 3rd) Followed egrets recipe. (Needed more bacon btw) sided with beer battered onion rings, betcha can't guess which beer! Everyone wanted more! In a side note, the winds were 30 mph+ which made egging challenging. Funny how you can egg at 10 deg and 95 deg and not really be bothered, but throw in 30 mph winds and all hell breaks loose.

Nice! What oil do you use for your onion rings?

Nice beer choice. Yuengling Light is everyday beer. I recommend the tour of the brewery if you ever get the change.

Veg oil in an electric fryer on the patio. And yes, I want to do the tour next time we go up to PA!

Jeremiah:  Tried searching, but couldn't find an actual receipe for Egret's ABTs.  What's the difference between these and regular ABTs?

Not really sure. I was just wanting to give credit where it's due.

Atomic Buffalo Turds
INGREDIENTS:
12 3-3 1/2 Inch Jalapenos - fresh
1 8 Ozs Pkg. Cream Cheese
12 Ozs. Bacon (regular sliced-NOT thick sliced)
1 Package Smoked Cocktail Wieners (Lil' Smokeys)
Dizzy Pig Red Eye Express rub
Wood Chunks (Apple, Hickory, or Guava Wood work well)
Procedure:
1 Wash, remove stems and halve jalapenos lengthwise. Only cut the stem off, don't cut
2 the end of jalapeno off to remove the stem. If the jalapenos are pretty fresh. you can
3 pull the stems off fairly easy. Remove seeds and veins (leave veins in if you would
4 like a hotter ABT).
5 Fill jalapeno halves with cream cheese, then top with a cocktail wiener. Put the two
6 halves together and wrap the whole thing with a piece of bacon. Secure each end of
7 the bacon with a toothpick.
8 Sprinkle a liberal amount of DP Red Eye Express rub all over the surface of the
9 bacon.
10 Stabilize egg at 350° with a raised grid.
11 Place a drip pan on regular grid to catch the drippings.
12 Put 2-3 chunks of wood on the coals and place ABT’s on the raised grid.
13 Cook about 45 minutes, then turn them over to crisp up bottom side of bacon, and
14 cook for an additional 15 minutes.
15 Allow to cool several minutes before serving.

Never tried it with the cocktail wieners.  Will have to give that a shot. Thanks.
