Turbo ABTs?

I'm attempting to put together a menu for the 4th and want to do ABTs, linguisa, turbo babybacks, and thighs. I figure I can do the BBs and thighs together indirect at 350, but am stumped by the ABTs. Do them first at 275 then increase temp for the proteins, or is there a turbo method for ABTs? I've done searches but can't find any technique. The linguisa would be done last, deflector out.

I run ABTs at 400 indirect so I guess that’s turbo.

I'm not as aggressive as @DoubleEgger but I run in the 350-375*F indirect range. The bacon is the finish-line driver and depending they take 40-55 minutes.

Hey, thanks guys! So the ABTs should take about the same time as the thighs and can be done while the BBs are taking their FTC siesta. I always heat my bacon in the microwave before wrapping to ensure it comes out crisp.

If you parcook your bacon and Blanche your jalapeños you can cook them at whatever temp you want. All you’re really doing (for most) is melting cheese and warming ingredients. (Unless you have an uncooked filler Meat)
Make sure you cook them away or above that chicken! Nobody wants fireworks inside."Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

They'll either be above or side by side with the thighs. I give the bacon a minute in the micro before assembly. Makes 'em a little more difficult to wrap, and a lot messier, but I think the bacon renders out better.

Find some thin bacon. It's all about getting fully cooked crispy bacon.IMO
Hate undercooked, soggy ABTs.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Yeah - I always buy the thinnest I can find. Save the thick cut for breakfast.
