    Half-cooked bacon.

    I love making ABTs. What I don't love is smoking them so long to get the bacon to desired doneness, that the peppers (especially the bottoms that stick through my pepper rack) get way overdone. I was wondering if anyone has partially cooked bacon 1st before assembling the ABTs? That way the...

    Can anyone identify this?

    Looks like a habanero to me. I also dry them in foil (outside) and crush them. I put them in a wimpy red pepper bottle and use them on just about everything.

    No butts about it

    Didn't want to do an all nighter as I will be at the party till late tmrw. When you say chuck roasts, are you talking beef? I'm open to a 6 or 7 hr smoke as opposed to the 15 it usually takes me to do butts

    No butts about it

    I got a request for pulled pork for a party tomorrow. Here's the rub (couldn't resist), I don't have time to do a butt or two. Is there another cut of meat that is smaller and cooks in a shorter amount of time?

    What's on Q for today?

    Tried to answer this once and it didn't work. Hope I dont have two replies at once.  It is a stainless vertical smoker from Cabela's. Its a propane job but I use a bigger wood box (cast iron pan) and I use lump charcoal and chunk wood in it. Then I use the propane to tweak the temps when needed...

    What's on Q for today?

    The wife, kids and I have been craving ribs lately so I got a few racks and fired up the smoker. I can't fire it up for just ribs though so I made a couple dozen ABTs and a pizza fattie (with ground beef this time). Qview to follow.

    I would love to participate in an exchange!

    I would gladly trade a bottle of my homemade raspberry wine for some cheese and pecans. This wine was made in the fall of 2008 and is not yet bottled. I bottle it from the carboy as needed. As of now it is dry but can be sweetened here or to taste when you get it. if you want to trade reply here...

    Newbie from NW PA

    Welcome Lou, This site has a wealth of info and plenty of people willing to help. As far as the sealed unit you're getting, what exactly does that mean? Surely the smoke has to go somewhere (doesn't it?).

    To cut or not to cut

    I was going to go with the concensus and leave them whole, but my vertical smoker would not allow it (size matters). I compromised and cut them in half with plans to cut each of those in half when done. That will leave 1/4 rack portion sizes. I also made ABTs and 2 fatties. One is Italian...

    To cut or not to cut

    I have some people coming over for a card party tonight and am planning ribs, ABTs, and Fatties. Do you think it will make a difference if I cut the ribs (babybacks) to portion size before I smoke or is that something that should be done post-smoke? Thanks in advance.

    Propane and lump

    I have a vertical propane smoker from Cabelas. For the last year or so I have had trouble getting it up to temp (230). I have tried everything from cleaning burner, using full tank, sand in the pan, etc. and still have trouble. Recently I bought a cast iron skillet and used lump charcoal in it...
