ask, what the heck do you do with all that food?  
I posted this thread a while back after i stumbled upon the wonder of  
ABT`s (good stuff) Do you know where these thing (ABT)originated? Who  
started this craze? Prolly at a comp huh?  
Lochy




   
Hi Jifv,  
I have a big GE 29.1 cubic foot chest freezer and a FoodSaver vacuum  
machine. 2 of the best investments I've ever made. The freezer keeps  
everything at 20 below zero.  
What we don't eat, I freeze for a rainy day. Also have alot of hungry  
friends, sisters, brothers, neighbors, nephews etc.  
I don't have any idea where ABT's originated. People have been stuffing  
jalapenos for many, many years and frying or baking them. It was only a  
matter of time before they tried them in a smoker.  
I am also a firm believer in the barter system. You would be surprised  
how often you can trade good BBQ for other goods or services.  
rohj




   
From what I gather the ABT was an "other" entry in the big green egg  
contest a few years back. If you go to their site I think the link is  
still up. Dont know if this person invented them but its the oldest  
reference I have found.  
dholsamb1946




   
I have been making a different variation of these for a while.  
Mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, & bacon bits together. Stuff the  
split cleaned peppers with this mixture. I take aluminum foil and make  
troughs for the peppers to sit in. It keeps the stuffing from leeching  
out. Bake or smoke until melting. Really, it just needs to be warmed  
up enough for the cheddar to melt.  
I also make them using the little smokey wieners. I microwave the  
bacon until 1/2 done. Wrap the weenie with a bacon slice and hold with  
toothpick sticking out the top. On the toothpick I lay a jalapeno slice  
across the top. Smoke or oven cook. I use a broiling rack so that the  
bacon can get cooked all around. When the bacon gets crisp, and just  
shortly before removing from heat souce, I stick a little square of  
American or Velvetta cheese slice onto the toothpick and let the cheese  
melt.  
thumderbyti




   
Im still trying to perfect my ABT's to my liking, and am getting close.  
The last batch I made for the super bowl was very good. Im going to  
leave more membrane and seeds in next time for added heat. I also  
experimented with thick sliced peppered bacon. The peppered bacon added  
good flavor but the thick slices were too much. The bacon flavor  
overpowered everything else. Next time it will be pepper bacon but thin  
sliced.  
I sliced my jalapenos in half, stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese  
that had shredded leftover smoked pork butt stirred in and wrapped with  
the bacon securing with a toothpick.  
Also, i actually like the flavor better out of the oven than from the  
smoker. The smoked pepper really didnt taste that great to me. 350 deg  
for 30 minutes in the oven worked well.

kjwolkir




   
I guess what I was making back in Texas a few years ago could be  
classified as an ABT...although the name doesn't fit because they didn't  
look like turds.  
Basically, I got as a gift one year a jalapeno rack that sets ontop of  
your grill or smoker...or oven. It was in the shape of Texas and held  
somewheres in the neighborhood of 18 or 20 medium size peppers...in an  
upright position.  
As such, I would cut off the stem and use a carrot pealer to core them  
out. I was sloppy with this because it gave them a nice kick back on  
the heat factor if you left some of the seeds in there. Then, like you  
guys, stuffed them with chedder cheese...but only about half way.  
My version then had a whole gulf coast shrimp inserted into it with the  
tail sticking out the top of the pepper. I then smoked them for until  
the peppers started to brown the prawn was done. Fantastic. Seems like  
the time was around 45 minutes or an hour.  
Some of them got a piece of bacon draped over the top, but I liked the  
way the shrimp ones looked. It was a big wow factor, and bigger on  
taste.  
Sorry, no photos.

Got these "turd" thoughts off another site.........  
Atomic Italian Turds - Roll half slices of prosciutto to top filling  
and use pancetta to wrap  
Atomic French Turds - use brie for the cheese  
Atomic Irish Turds - corned beef  
Atomic German Turds - saurbraten or bratwurst; add saurkraut to cheese  
Atomic Japanese Turds - sushi  
Atomic Scandinavian turds - top with pickled herring  
Atomic Polish, Portuguese, or Mexican Turds - Julienned kielbasa,  
Linjoica, or chorizo to top filling; serve on beds of cabbage, kale, or  
cilantro  
Atomic Scottish Turds - make Scotch Eggs

Damn! I almost forgot to tell you about an easier way to cook those  
peppers than in foil boats. Keep in mind that when I make the ABT's I  
core the pepper and stuff them, I don't cut them in half.  
I use those small disposable loaf pans (3 lb I think) and wooden  
skewers. I run two skewers through the pan length wise and 3 to 4  
across the width (depending on the size of your peppers). This method  
keeps the peppers standing up and seperate so they get more smoke and it  
contains the grease. I found that it makes them easier to handle when  
moving things around on the smoker.

excellent idea.

All I could find locally was cocktail weinies, I tihnk they were called  
mini-smokers, or smokies, they looked similar to what is pictured but a

If you can get it inside the pepper, it's OK.  




>So, you've made the excellent decision to invest in a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker (WSM), and you can't wait to get started. Here are two recipes to get you started. I've tried them both, so I can vouch for them... But before you do anything, I suggest that you make one modification to your new WSM. Get yourself a bigger water bowl. The one that comes with the the smoker holds around 4 liters - not enough for long, slow cooking. I got myself a 10 liter stainless steel mixing bowl, which fits perfectly. If you're in Australia (like me), you can get one from WA Hospital Supplies in Perth, Western Australia. Instructions to get your WSM going. I pretty much followed the standard instructions that come with the smoker when you buy it. What I have learned over the years is to be patient - let the charcoal get a good heat going, which you can then bring down with the vents. Way better than starting cooking too soon, and spending hours trying to get the heat UP. I've done that, and had to sit there with an electric hair dryer blowing onto the not-hot-enough coals. No fun at all! Most slow cooking is done at around 225 deg F. Make sure you fill your water bowl with HOT water. As for smoking wood, I generally use hickory but have also had great results with olive wood. Temperature control is by adjusting the 4 vents, so get yourself an oven thermometer (I just dangle mine through the top lid vent) and learn to control the temperature. Anyhow, here we go... Recipe #1 - Smoked Beef Ribs I've never cooked these in a rack, but separate ribs work just fine! There's a lot of fat in these rib pieces, but long slow cooking will render it out. First of all, peel off the tough membrane at the back of the ribs. Then, cover with your favorite rub. If you don't have one yet, here's the one I used: - 2oz Brown Sugar - 2oz White Sugar - 2oz Barbecue Spice - 2oz Smoked Paprika - 3 Tbsp Celery Salt - 2 Tbsp Salt - 2 tsp Black Pepper - 2 tsp Celery Seeds - 1 tsp Garlic Powder - 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper Combine the lot, coat the ribs and rub it well in. You're ready to go! Cook your ribs for around 6-7 hours, and to keep them good and moist, you can drench them with the following "sop", using a cotton headed dishwashing mop (the head will be around the size of your fist). Make sure you keep the lid off for as short a time as possible. Apply every hour or so. - 2 cups beef stock - 1 cup beer - 2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce - 1/3 cup vegetable oil - 1 1/2 tsp salt - 1 1/2 tsp paprika - 1 1/2 tsp dry mustard - 1 1/2 tsp black pepper - 1 1/2 tsp cayenne - 1 tsp Tabasco - 1 tsp garlic powder  Enjoy! Recipe #2 - Smoked Pork Butt For those who don't know this cut (I found that it isn't familiar to non-Americans), it's part of the pork shoulder joint... Weighs around 15lb or so. Purchase whole, untrimmed pork butt, either bone-in or boneless. To maximize bark formation (that wonderful dark chewy outside meat) during barbecuing, trim off the fat cap, and whatever other fat you can see. There'll be plenty of fat left in the meat to keep it moist during cooking, so don't worry if you think your fat removal is a bit enthusiastic! Dry the butt with a cloth or paper towels, and then rub with a QUARTER of the following mix (you'll need the rest later): - 1/4 cup ground black pepper - 1/4 cup paprika - 1/4 cup Demerara sugar - 2 Tbsp table salt - 2 tsp dry mustard - 1 tsp cayenne pepper Put the rubbed joint into a Ziploc bag and refrigerate overnight Next morning, take out the butt and rub with another QUARTER of the mix. Leave out (but covered) until you're ready to cook. Get the WSM going as before, and cook the but for around 10 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F. Use your smoke wood of choice. Make up a "sop" with the rest of your rub mix, together with the following ingredients. Warm everything gently over a low heat, stirring occasionally. - 2 cups apple cider vinegar - 1 cup water - 3 Tbsp ground black pepper - 2 Tbsp table salt - 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce - 1 Tbsp paprika - 1 Tbsp cayenne pepper Apply the sop generously every couple of hours. Remember to open the lid for as little time as possible. When the butt is finished cooking, wrap it in aluminum foil for at least 30 minutes. By the way, it's quite likely to look like a charred meteorite! Don't worry - it'll taste GREAT! When you're ready, open it up and just pull it apart. There are thousands of recipes around, but, as I promised, these are just two to get you started. Enjoy!
