The kids would not leave me alone at the BBQ once they had a sample of the Moinks! they were inviting friends over in the neighbourhood etc.. it got chaotic!

Yeah, you're certified Gerritt. That all looks great! What's the glaze, Gerritt?

 

 

PC tequila habanero sauce, the meatballs were rolled in Plowboys before being wrapped.

 

Wish I could make up there Randy.. but these were smoked low n slow using a mixture of Apple and Cherry chunks, as well as RO Lump, on my barrel smoker.. I would need a smoker to make em up there..

gerrit - any tips for your stuffed chicken breasts? temp? and how long? they sounded soo good i tried your recipe last night only difference i wrapped them in bacon to help hold them together. unfortunatly i they where a bit too dry think i over cooked them but they where still delicious.

 

i just picked up an electric masterbuilt smoker when canadian tire had their big sale a few weeks ago so far iv done ribs, rainbow trout, ribs and gerrits stuffed jalapeno and gouda chicken breasts, lookin for some good ideas the bacon wrapped meatballs look pretty good. anybody ever use this model of smoker before?i think i may have to make a few modifications to get moke smoke from it

ABT's (Atomic Buffalo Turds).....

 

Cut and clean the jalapeno peppers... the more membrane you leave, the hotter they will be on average.

Pipe in a stripe of cream cheese (mix some seasonings in there too)....

Add a Lil' Smokey (cocktail sausage - I cut them in half)...

Wrap in bacon....

Put them on the smoker (for about an hour)...

Looks great, Burt. OK, who stole the first piece on the bottom skewer? eh?

Roy is as sharp as a hook I tell ya... :clapping:

 

Burt, those look great!

 

Gerritt, I will post when I have time for my first smoke.

 

shan&jay, you may want to get *can't think of the name of the product right now* to seal the door better. I know I am on my gas one. Too much smoke is getting out and I have to switch to Apple chuncks rather then chips.

I don't know what it is like with the electric or gas smokers, but with the Weber... less smoke is sometimes more...

 

I use maybe 2 small fist sized chunks of wood (usually cherry or oak/fruit wood) for the entire process. Once the Weber is up and running stable, you really don't see any smoke coming out the top, just a thin, bluish vapour. You don't generally want to be adding smoke wood all the time as you can easily overpower some meats (especially fowl). This is "hot smoking" or BBQ'ing though.... 220-250F. Although I routinely do pork shoulder and ribs above this temperature with fantastic results.

Man...I really gotta learn this smoking technique. The food looks too fantastic to pass up! Anybody know of any informative books out there that help out with recipes for smokers? I think I'll look for a cheaper, in price, smoker to start off with though.
