    What Do You Use to Stuff Your ABTs?

    I don't make them standing up very often. If you half them, I call them boats, you don't need a special; rack. I can completely fill a smoker with boats for a large crowd. when I do stand them up, I use something similar to this. It's a cookie press with a stuffer nozzle.
