Hi everybody! Sorry I wasn't very active this season - had a lot of things good and bad going on. I've only fired up my smoker twice. Hope everyone has had a great summer and fall so far.
First question. I just made my 3rd batch of bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers per Jeff's awesome recipe. I didn't use shrimp this time though which cut the cook time by about an hour. Why are they called "ABTs"?
My other question is about whether or not to soak the wood chips. Today is the first time I have used dry chips. Ordinarily I soak them for about 30 minutes before adding them. By not soaking them today (because that's what the recipe says) I found that I went through a lot more of them but I haven't noticed any really discernible difference in the quality of the final product. Is this one of those totally subjective practices? Just curious.
Here's some pics of my peppers. We did 5+ dozen peppers which yields 10 dozen poppers
Thanks!
