I have what I think is a terrific recipe for stuffed "baked" jalapenos. I decided today to wrap them in bacon and smoke it - hence ABT.  I smoked using pecan its what I had and wow it was too smoky and the bacon overpowered everything else.

I smoked for 1 hour at 250 to ensure my bacon was cooked.  I'm not sure what went wrong but it was definitely a miss instead of amazing. 

The jalapeno recipe:

Jimmy Dean sausage

Cream Cheese

Onion powder

Garlic powder

Worcestershire sauce

Cheddar Cheese

Parmesan Cheese

Was it the wood/smoke? Sausage and Bacon? I'm at a loss any comments are welcome.

99% chance the smoke was billowing white smoke & too much of it.

If you got too much smoke in only one hour, it was too heavy (thick).

Many hours of light smoke is a good thing. TBS

Heavy smoke for even a short time can be a bad thing!!!

Thanks! It was the smoke it was so heavy that it overpowered EVERYTHING.  I will take the temp down on my next attempt/

I don't know what kind of smoker you have, but if the smoke was too thick, lowering your heat isn't as important as cutting the thick smoke down to light smoke----TBS---TBS---TBS.
