My take on an ABT

[tnbbq]

1. The family loves these when I make them occasionally as a snack while waiting on a longer cook...
   
   8 jalapeños, boated and de-seeded
   Half a block of cream cheese
   Mixed shredded cheese blend
   Spicy crab dip (get mine at a local seafood counter at a grocery)
   About a pack and a half of bacon
   Dusted these with some Meat Church Honey Hog rub

Hmm stuffed with crab added to my list. I do cream cheese / cheddar and either hot sausage or shredded chicken usually. Crab sounds great.

 

[JLeonard]

Dang buddy! I could put away about half of those. They sound might good with the crab dip in there.

Those look great!! Is the spicy crab dip something you flavor the cream cheese with? I always add BBQ rub to my cream cheese, but this sounds interesting.

A tip on bacon... buy the thick bacon, then cover with plastic wrap and pound it to the exact thickness you like. Pounding also makes is a little 'sticky' so it binds better to the jalapeno boats. I can wrap two peppers with one bacon slice. Here is a before and after of a pounded slice.

I buy it and add half a container of the dip to about 4 oz cream cheese and half a package of mixed cheese and then dust after I stuff and bacon wrap with a sweeter rub so you get a nice sweet heat bite.

I lay the slices between parchment paper and roll out with a rolling pin. I do the same thing to my bacon weaves after the weave is done.

I typically only do a weave when smoking some type of fatty but all great suggestions!

Yep I mostly use weaves for fatties as well. You can do mini weaves to wrap things like chicken parts.
