My first Jalepeno poppers.  About two hours at between 225 and 275, a finish at 300 because it was getting late, gotta plan ahead!

Stuffed with cheddar, wrapped with bacon dipped in sorgum molasses.  Tasty, but HOT!!!

    I bet the molasses gave it a different twist. Looks good tho.

    I have no reference for comparison regarding the molasses, I just saw that in a recipe.  I understand that the longer you cook them, the milder they get.  I will try a three hour cook next time,  I need to keep a perspective of time with respect to stomach growls.  Maybe I will try these poppers simultaneously with a 4 hour beef or ribs cook....yes!

    Hey Dave, did you go direct, raised direct, or indirect? When I did mine indirect I thought they were a bit soggy. Did you have that issue?

    Goodness. Two hours! I don't have time for that. I cook at 350 indirect for 40 minutes to an hour, pulling when bacon is crisp but not hard.

    I used the place setter legs up, then a Woo3 with drip pan, then the standard grill and a popper holder.  The peppers were still crunchy, but to danged spicy hot, which is an unusual situation for me.

    I know of no way to tell if a pepper is hot. some are and some aren't. try pablanos stuffed with cheeses, chorizo, and black beans... wrapped in bacon with a little rub.

    Thanks henapple, I normally can take the heat no matter what, maybe the leftovers will be milder.  My wife makes a three cheese stuffed pepper dish using milder/sweet peppers.  I will try that next, some with a bacon wrap, others without for my vegetarian friends.  And that mushroom cloud dish in a current thread sounds great as well!

    I've heard you can soak the peppers in sprite and it will kill the heat. I've never tried myself so can't verify.
