First ABTs

[ismoke]

I did these last week, but didn't get a chance until now to post. I used cream cheese, garlic, pepperjack cheese, and pepper. Turned out tasty, but I think that I didn't get the "rib" part of the japs off of all of them well. A couple were SUPER hot! Of course, this was after eating a couple, and thinking the spice was about right, and that they were bite size.

Here they are along with a fatty ready to go on the smoker:

All done, and ready to dig in!

Looking good, I have been hooked since I first tried them. Cleaning out the interior ribbing makes a big difference in heat level. I scrape the inside wall with a spoon after cutting them in half.

Wow, those look great! I leave a little rib or seed behind for some heat. I use a small melon ball scraper to clean them out. And by the way, great Q VIEW!

They look good. Have some in the fridge ready to roll for alter this week. Good job.

Ismoke, what type of wood did you use, temps, they look crispy, how long were they on?

Good looking ABT's! These have become one of my favorite snacks when smoking or gilling. You did a really nice job they look great! I suspect like the rest of us these won't be your last. I'm with Rich, post your recipe and how you did it. Thanks for the q-view.

I used Hickory, cooked at 230 for a little about an hour and a half. It was literally my first time every smoking anything (along with that fattie), so I was kind of just going by look. They ended up great though!

They sure look good iSmoke! I like the sound of your filling...
