OK all...
Here's my first attempt at making a pulled pork and ABT's!
I bought a 6lb pork butt at Sam's Club (Came in a 2 pack, $1.58/lb). Cut about 1lb of fat off, rubbed it done with some olive oil and some rub. Wrapped it in foil and placed it in the fridge over night. Got up this morning, ran some errands, started the coals (with hickory) and proceeded to re-rub the pork but with same rub. when the temp got to 210F I placed the butt, in a foil pan, in the smoker. Been in (at this time) for a little over 2 hours. It's currently at 135F and the smoker is maintaining between 225F-270F. I placed a water pan (an old bread pan) and have mopped it once with another coming up in 45 minutes.
I decided I needed to try some of the ABT's...as part of running errands, I went by Kroger's and purchased some red jalapeno peppers and cream cheese. I topped the jalapenos, put a horizontal slice. Mixed the cream cheese, some Mexican blend (cheddar and jack) cheese and some chipotle pepper, stuffed with mixture and wrapped some halved bacon, partially fried as per someone's suggestion on here? (Sorry, I've read so much, I forgot who...probably SoFlaQuer)
I'll keep you'll posted!
