Jimbo & Timbo's First ABTs

JimboBQ

<p />Another local Egger, Tim, came over tonight. Over a couple of Coors Lights (yeah, I drink sissy beer), we decided to try the ABTs. Stuffed the jalapinos with creamed cheese and some leftover pulled pork. Wrapped it all up in bacon, regular sliced bacon. Cooked those bad boys at about 325, direct, on a raised grid for about 40 minutes. We also dusted them with Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom. They tasted pretty good, but Tim and I agreed the peppers should've been softer. Maybe cooked more? Has anyone ever heard of boiling the peppers before egging them to make them softer? We expected the ABTs to be a bit softer like those jalapino poppers you get in the yup bars.Thanks in advance for the input.[p]Jimbo[p]

JimboBQ, I think more time at a lower temperature, say 300 degrees, might help with pepper texture issues. [p]Brett

<p />JimboBQ,[p]I cook 400-425 indirect for about 30-45 minutes depending on how many.[p]Lot of different ways, just find out what you are comfortable with.[p]CWM

JimboBQ, i would not boil them, because you loose alot of flavor & heat into the water. Try cooking at a lower temperature like 275F

Car Wash Mike,
We made ours using your method and they were GREAT! soft peppers and very crispy bacon - thanks for sharing.

JimboBQ,
Just type chile grills in your search and you will find several different places to get them.
