about 1.5 hrs in and the fat from the bacon is beginning to do its thing and its taking to the cherry pellets nicely. i can hear a little sizzle starting from the bacon grease heating up and frying up the inside of that spud. running at 250*.

some good size cubes of colby/jack cheese. this should make for a treat. and close up the smoker for the remaining 20-30 minutes(estimate) of smoke left in the tube...

 yeh we didnt know what to make for dinner last nite, and the wife says we have a few potatoes left, and bacon and sandwich meat and cheeses(we didnt take anything out of the freezer, so not enough time to thaw out and i dont believe in microwave defrosting,lol)...when she mentioned those, i thought "hell you wanna try loaded potatoes?" and she said "can it go on the smoker?" thats my girl!!! haha. victory!!

Looks good man.  Weekly we do a loaded spud night, break out some frozen smoked goods, set the taters to bake before we leave in the morning.  Delish...
