    ABT Input please

    Cook but you don't need to overlook sausage. My favorite cheese mix is one pack reg cream cheese, one neuchizele(sp?) low fat cream cheese, sharp shredded cheddar and crumbled feta. The feta causes a puffing up of the cheese mix and when smoked gets that wonderful taste brown color. Yum! I...

    bbq guru/pitmaster iq question

    Ok I need some advise here. Im contemplating getting a taeger (sp?) little one. OR the thought of a bbq guru or pitmaster iq for my weber. Right now I have a Old Smokey Mountain (I think that is the name of the cheap gas smoker). I have learned a bunch from cooking on it and thank you for...

    Which works better.

    I go length wise straight on a greased grill shelf. Going length wise doubles the amount of ABTs and makes the cheese (or whatever you put inside) get smoked a bit. Of course this depends on your bacon wrap too. Straight on the grill gives the bacon an even cook. Just be ready for the oozing...

    Crispy ABT's?

    I put them in the smoker at 310-315. I know it is not officially smoking but it still gets the smoke flavor. I also make sure they are straight on the grill with no foil underneth them (water pan on the bottom). It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours anyway and comes out crispy.

    What's Your Favorite Stuffing?

    Cream Cheese, Feta, Sharp Chedder and Summer Sausage. LOVE IT. I love bringing ABTs to potlucks because people (that dont know what they are) always look at them with their nose up. Then someone with enough balls tries one. After that they are all gone in 15 minutes tops. John
