We enjoy Smoked Jalapeno Poppers or ABT’s  ( Atomic Buffalo Turds ) as they are referred to in the BBQ world. We have been doing them at the Farmer’s Market and folks have been asking us how we make them. So, we thought we would show you how we do them…

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on one of our Grills or Smokers, but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

I just made 6 this time, but if you have friends coming over you better make a big platter of them. There are never any leftovers. Usually they don’t have room left for the entrée.

Cooking Directions:  Smoked Jalapeno Poppers

Perheat the Grill Grates to 225* (110c). Place your peppers directly onto the grill and just let them hang out in the smoke and get happy for 30 minutes or so. This is referred to as “hot smoking”; the temperature is around 225* (110c). 30 minutes of smoking is not enough to have any cooking effect on your poppers but it is enough to open up the pores so that the poppers can pick up all the flavor of the smoke.

After 30 minutes, turn the heat up to 350* (180c) for about 45 minutes or so until the bacon is done to your taste.

NOTE: Here I have used pictures from several different cooks and grills using Grill Grates and Frog Mats.

About Our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Monument, Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,

Ken & Patti
