3 racks full!

KyNola · August 10, 2008, 09:24:06 AM

One rack full of ABT's.(first attempt at those), One rack full of chicken wings marinaded in Frank's Wing Sauce and one rack full of wings rubbed with Jan's Rub. Two hours of maple and apple wood. Total cook time will probably take longer on the wings. It will be getting hot all up in here this afternoon! :o

Sunday's are for smoking or gumbo making at my house. What's cooking at yours?

WOW! It all turned out really well. I just hate it when bacon fat drips down on my chicken wings don't you? :D ABT's were awesome. Will definitely be making a substantial amount of those for the next party.

Those all sound great guys! ;)

I have 6 racks of back ribs in right now.

I had the last week off and was staying at the lake with some friends. Thursday morning I snuck into town and put a 10 to 12 lb butt in. I can back into town the next morning and FTC's it and took it too the lake. I did this one at 205 degrees and it was in for pretty much 24 hours. It was FTC'd for about 6 hours... man, I could barley pick that sucker up, just fell apart. Turned out really good. Everybody was real pleased with my little surprise!

Oh ya... we also had a few wobbly pops to wash it down... well... quite a few! ;)

Mike,
I'll bet they WERE pleased with your little surprise. Sounds like a good time, lake, pulled pork and oh yeah, a "few" refreshing beverages. One has to stay properly hydrated when you are at a lake.

Sounds like a good time. Wobbly pops. I haven't heard that one in a while.

Did you cut your peppers in half, or did you cut the ends off and core them? What did you stuff them with? I assume the smoke time on the ABTs was about 4 hours??? I want to do some of those next weekend.

KyNola · August 10, 2008, 06:55:50 PM

rcger,
I split the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Took andouille sausage that was already fully cooked and put it in a food processor with the cream cheese and piped the mixture in the pepper halves and wrap in bacon. Smoke time was two hours. Left in the smoker for another 30 minutes after the smoke time. Brought them in, still was not happy with the bacon doneness so put them under the broiler until the bacon was more crispy. My opinion only, 4 hours of smoke would be excessive.

Next time I make a really large batch, I'm thinking about cutting the top off, coring the pepper, stuffing and capping with bacon and stringing them and hanging from one inverted rack on the top level of the smoker.

I'm just goofy enough to try something like that. :D

I'm not sure if you have heard of Jalapeno Rack or Holders, but now you can find them in Wal Mart. Several years ago, I could only get them online. I've never order from either of these site, I'm just using them as an example of what they are.

I forgot to add, if you have the choice its better to get ones with 1 inch diameter holes, rather then the 3/4 inch; that seems to be the standard size.

Thanks Habs, had not seen those before. Those would work really well.

Ky,

531 posts on the forum and this was your first attempt at ABT's??? I hadn't even gotten my BDS6 delivered and I had the little buggers ready to go. (Actually I cheated and made some on the gas grill first, I know..., I should be taken out back and slow-smoked over Mesquite for defying the smoker gods). My better half hates spicy foods, and I've even got her begging me to make some more ABT's.

If you want to try a milder variety (meat-wise, not pepper), try taking some crab meat and shrimp, then combine with your favorite rub. Definitely helps if you supervise with an adult beverage (I really like the term "Wobbly Pop).

Glad to hear that your feast turned out well.

Jeff

P.S. Don't get many good gumbo recipes in Upstate, NY (20 miles from Canada), care to share???

KyNola · August 25, 2008, 01:28:33 PM

Jeff,
Nobody ever said I was too bright!! :D

Don't have time to post my gumbo recipe right now but am more than happy to share it. I have figured out a couple of shortcuts in making my gumbo but the one thing I never shortcut on is the roux. The roux is the key to the flavor of the gumbo. You just can't mess with that in my opinion.

At your convenience my smoky friend. I will await the post, or my e-mail address is available. Besides, Gumbo season up here coincides with snowmobiling season, and right now we're in one of the three months that we traditionally can't ride our sleds :D :D :D
