First try at ABTs

losttree

I smoked a BB this weekend to enjoy with company and figured since I had the egg burning, I should try ABTs.  I used a half pound of italian sausage and cream cheese for the filling and sliced the jalapeno's lengthwise.  Cooked them about 45 minutes at 400 on the dome.  They were a big hit with everyone and I'll certainly be trying more complex recipes in the future.

How long do they take direct, Mickey?

Mickey

@Adam: About the 45 min's

@Mickey, do you just let your bacon grease fall to the fire?

Mickey

@Chubbs:  Yes and no problem with it. Direct cook. This is also a good time to toss on a few sausage with say jap&chedder in them. We can have you up to 325lbs fast.....

I have always done mine with a drip pan which is why I was asking. They always tend to take forever because it is technically indirect that way I guess. I am going raised direct next time.
