i can't believe i have been living without these things my whole life. i want to thank whoever came up this recipe.

the only problem i had was fighting over the last one.

my smoker will never be on without ABT's in it.

i didn't use a special rack. just poked them down into the bradley rack.

Viceman, ABT's are crowd pleasers for sure! You will find many more here...

They are kind of a great tasting little secret.

... or don't invite anyone and eat them all yourself.

Viceman,

Congrats!!! Those little morsels of nirvanna are a huge hit in my family now. Smokeitall posed an interesting question however..., I've always sliced my jalapenos, never tried the "capping" method. I assume that the assembly might be a touch easier by simply capping. I might have an agenda for this weekend after all 8).

i used red jalepenos, cut the tops off and cleaned the guts out, stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon,
and just poked them cap side up into the bradley rack.

started at 200 for about a hour of hickory smoke then bumped it up to 250 for several beers until the bacon got done.

Thanks...I have been inspired to try out ABT's for the first time.

I will be making 4 doz. abt's next weekend. They are stuffed with a variety of goodies consisting of: shrimp, crab meat, cooked turkey with cheese and of course cream cheese.

I'm drooling on my keyboard right now.

I really like the capping method. So much easier, plus you can buy these neat holders to hold them while smoking. Bass Pro I believe has holders that will hold 36 of them babies upright. Most hold less. But almost best of all they come with a corer that looks like an apple corer that does a grand job of cleaning out the membranes and seeds from the capped off end. Only problem with the holders is that, if the peppers get really mushy, they can slip down through the holes. So I will skewer a whole row, with a skewer or individually with a toothpick to keep them from slinking down through the holes.

Sticking the peppers in the holes in the rack does the same thing as the rack from Bass Pro or Cabela's. Just make sure that you stick a toothpick through the top part of the pepper.

BTW I did buy a corer from Cabela's and they work great!
