Louisiana Redneck,[p]I tried a revised version using only butter, turbinado sugar, chipotle powder & cinnamon. It's on the egg at 300 with Cherry wood chips at 300 on a pizza pan sitting on my placesetter. It's almost time to give em a stir.[p]I also made some Jamaican Firewalk Almonds tonight. They're still coolin down.[p]Beers,[p]Ed
