Thank you to all. Did my first set of ABTs this week, and they were PERFECT, thanks to the advice from all you experts. I was surprised that the peppers took 2 plus hours to soften at 225 degrees... anyone else's take that long.

I would have done a Q-View photo, but I grabbed them out of the smoker, started eating and souldn't stop. Oops!

Was thinking about doing ribs tomorrow, may have to do some ABTs as well. No Q-View.

yeah on the smoker they take alittle time. 250º around 1 1/2 hours or so. I have actually started using my gas grill for ABT's. Around 325º, I can have them done in 45 minutes tops. Throw in some wood chips for some smoke flavor. Bacon gets more crispy too.

I have started steaming mine for a few min first to soften them up...Then stuff, wrap, and toss on the cooker.
