I had a batch of smoked jalapeños that came out awesome last night. Should have taken some pics! Yesterday I picked up some cherry wood pucks for my OBS, and a jalapeño rack at a local outdoor recreation store. Stopped at the grocery store and picked up 24 jalapeños, 1 lb of ground turkey, 1 packet of taco seasoning, cream cheese, and turkey bacon. Obviously I was intending on making this delicacy low-fat.

* Brown 1 lb of turkey, added packet of taco seasoning, and cook as directed then cool to room temperature.
* Cut tops off jalapeños and remove seeds.
* Cut vertical slit in very bottom of the jalapeño so excess juice can drip out while cooking/smoking.
* Mix taco meat and cream cheese
* Stuff the jalapeños with the taco seasoning/cream cheese
* Cut a 2-3 inch piece of bacon and attach to the top of each of the jalapeños and affix with a tooth pick

I smoked these at 200 degrees for 3 hours. They were amazing and disappeared fast. I hope you enjoy my recipe.

Hmmm... sounds good.

Stupid question, how much cream cheese did you use?

It does sound great.  What is a jalapeno rack??  I guess I have never seen one.

I'm going to make a couple peno racks myself. Can you tell me what size holes are in your racks? I thought 3/4 would work but am now leaning to 1-inch.

Here are a couple designs for those who never seen one.

I wonder if they would fall through the grids of the standard bradley racks.

I just ordered the one that holds 24 peppers.

Cabelas also has them in 3 sizes.

Of course I've got to be the stupid one (probably all that mesquite smoke  ;D)  What is the benefit of using these racks?

Its amazing what one can accomplish when one doesn't know what one can't do!

Not sure yet, until I try one, but I would hope it would help keep the fillings from oozing out.  Makes for more latitude in what I put in them for a filling.  I did some ABT's and they were great, but want to play with some other ideas.
