ABT Question

I'm going to try them today for the first time and was wondering if anyone had any tips.

I'm going to do what looks like the easy way:  halve the Jalapeño, remove the veins, stuff with cream cheese, wrap with bacon and cook indirect. over a drip pan.  What I don't know is what temperature I should use and roughly how long they'll take to get done.

Any help will be appreciated

    325-350 if goin indirect. Depending on thickness of bacon prolly take at 45min or so.

    Make sure you cook them long enough. The longer they cook the mellower they get!

    I cook direct raised. I mix 50/50 cream cheese and goat cheese with a rub mixed in. No drip pan. 350/400 raised wrapped in bacon. Sometimes I will use maple bacon.

    @Mickey Do you get much flare-up from the dripping?  I wanted to go direct but was afraid the flames might screw things up

     Direct raised grid around 350*F or indirect at the same temp. The finish on the bacon will let you know when done. For the next round try the following: I prep the jalas as you do, but then I load 'em up with hot sausage/chorizo (cooked prior) mixed with cheese, the heat of which is defined by the consumer.  You can also use shrimp, left-over pulled pork, brisket -about anything you can imagine.
    @henapple has a version with chocolate and cherries.  I will defer to him for the details but never without bacon.   FWIW-

    Wear vinyl gloves when cleaning the peppers. +1 on adding cooked chorizo to the creme cheese

    NO...... Raised makes you a better cook especially when adult beverage is in play.

    I keep mine whole, split down the middle and stuffed with a mix a cream cheese and shredded cheese.  If you like them spicy, leave a few seeds and some membrane in the pepper. These have to be my favorite app.
    Oh, and the thicker the bacon the less likely that the overlapped bacon will fully cook, so just something to consider if you someone who might not like the undercooked pieces... (like my wife). I love the thick bacon but she's not really a fan... she prefers the regular thinner bacon for ABT's.

    @mcmac-not to hijack the thread but if you want a great thick bacon app then check out "pig shots".  The thick bacon is the key.  FWIW-
