    Competition Prep

    Sorry, the entry fee includes a 40'x40' spot. I am trying to keep the public out of our area while cooking for 2-3 days. Thoughts I had so far are: Yellow Caution Tape, Yellow Plastic Chain Link Fencing, rent actual fencing from a company. Open to suggestions/ideas/tips!

    Competition Prep

    I'm curious if anyone has done competition BBQ before (I'm sure there's a bunch). I'm trying to figure out a way to best secure a 40'x40' spot from the general public. Everything is on the contestants to provided, and there are a few vendors to rent from, but I wanted to see if anyone had any...

    Smoked jalapeno and white cheddar filled potato balls

    Did you sauté the peppers prior to stuffing, or did they still have a “toothyness” to them?

    Jalapeño Popper w/ Cheddar

    In my experience it hasn’t been. It has a grassy smell to it, but generally goes away after seasoning and cooking. My guess is I didn’t soak/rinse the casing properly. I’ll give these ones away 😉 and get a consensus from the crowd. It could just be me, but I feel there is a slight gamey-ness...

    Jalapeño Popper w/ Cheddar

    Thanks for the link! I definitely did not follow those steps. I soaked them in water for 30 minutes and didn't do a water change either... eek! Lots to learn in this game. Thanks again for the discussion, I'll be adding a few more days/steps to my routine.

    Shameless bump, any other suggestions or should I let this thread die into the abyss?

    Trail Bologna - Question

    Yes, for 30 minutes or so per the directions. 45 minutes or so, but I did not temp the sausages after. I stuck them in the refrigerator for 2 hours to bloom, I figured that would help. But I think you're leaning down the path of re-hydrating the casing to help it peel.
