Quick Cook - ABT's

BMW BBQ M5

For my second cook I decided to try ABT's.... pretty happy with the results, although I had to use turkey lil' smokies because my wife couldn't find cheddar ones at the store. She couldn't find toothpics, or a second pound of bacon for that matter (why the hell did I send her to begin with?????)

I had to cut the bacon in half and wrap down the middle on most of them. No filling loss noted. I cooked them for 1.5 hours at 300. YUM!

Are "Cheddar lil smokies" considered the standard filling for ABT's?

Something I learned here - I think posted by Thirdeye

It is easier to wrap/stretch bacon on ABTs and no need for toothpicks by:
1) Using thin bacon
2) Only taking a few pieces out of the fridge at a time

Thanks for all the helpful advice on this forum... makes the transition from gas to lump sooo easy.

The filling could've used a little kick for some extra flavor, so I think the cheddar would help. Who doesn't like more cheese???? I don't have any dizzy pig powder yet, but I have read you can sprinkle some on top when you are finished. My friend suggested using gorgonzola cheese as well. There appears to be no limit on what you can do with the filling.... and they taste just as good cold the next day.

Has anyone made them with just a meat and sharp cheddar cheese without the cream cheese? Maybe that would be too greasy and/or messy. Just curious.
