These are directly from Jeff's Cheese Stuffed Jalapeno Meatballs recipe. The only change I made was to use venison instead of beef. For the sausage, I used Jimmy Dean's hot sausage. The meatballs are slightly larger than Jeff's simply because I find them easier to stuff. Apple was my wood of choice. I have used other woods in the past and I found I like apple for these the best.
On the racks and ready for the smoker.
In the smoker. 200 degrees for about 2 hours. I do recommend a water pan. I have done these with and without a water pan. They are definitely better with the pan.
Done and ready to eat. They are really good with sour cream and sometimes we use a sweet and sour dipping sauce. I tried them with a sweet jalapeno sauce that I make and that worked well too.
