Just getting started, don't know how long it will take .. never smoked this full like this on the mes before .. lol

 

[griz400]

Both tenderloins are done ... 1 was 147 .. other 149 ... .. have to go this long ... Mrs. wont eat em at 140- 143 .. I am ok with this ... really not much difference ...

also a peek at the peppers .. looks like I will use this again .. by pre-cooking bacon some .. looks like when these are done .. will be nice crispy bacon ..

 

[griz400]

Finished the chicken on gas grill for like 3 minutes to crisp up skin ...

Thanks Griz for the stuffing details. I have been wanting to make ABT's but none of the meats that came to mind sounded that great to me. I think the Brats are just the flavor profile I was holding out for.

 

[griz400]

Thanks bear, It all turned out good .. funny how a little smoker like this will cook like this

 

[griz400]

thanks mosparky. 1 brick of cream cheese, 1 cup grated parm, and pack of 5 brats out of casing and browned up.. then bacon on top
