Nope....strictly for state side use.

They are pretty easy to make AK, just get you some jalapeno's, split them in half lengthwise, scrape the membrane and seeds out.

Fill each half with cream cheese, put a little smokie smoked sausage in it(you know, the little mini ones). Wrap with a 1/2 piece of bacon, and smoke away. Don't use high heat. Somewhere around 200-250 would be the best if you have time. If you cook them faster than that, you will just have to pay closer attention to them.

You can really make up your own recipe to make them, and stuff them with all kinds of stuff, but the ones Alex came up with are hard to beat. :cheers2:

THANKS MAN!!!

These are SURE to be a hit at the party........

I have a great smoker just dyin for some. Its gonna be an all out Carolina Party- Pork BBQ (with Ranucci rub - Turds- Cheerwine and some PANTHER FOOTBALL BABY!!!)

Why did Alex choose cream cheese instead of another cheese. cream cheese was good when I tried it, but it squirted. I was thinking a jack and cheddar cheese mix. Anyone tried it?

Not sure...but it works for me, and I love it. Maybe you were squeezing it too tight? :rofl: Just kidding......

Honestly...you can use ANYTHING....whatever your taste buds desire. Try putting a little less cream cheese next time, and maybe not cooking them on such a high temp. They do need a little time to cool, as they can get quite hot on the inside. Wrap the bacon tighter.

Ohh Yeah--- How long do you smoke them??? 30-45 minutes?

At least an hour, low and slow for 1 1/2- 2 would be better, peppers have to cook as well as the bacon on the outside. Which also depends on the size of the peppers. You will figure all this out once you cook your first batch.

Just a suggestion, cook you a small trial batch before your big cookout game day....you'll feel much more comfortable with how your cooker cooks, and how the turds cook, what temp, etc....then you'll be set. You will also know by looking at them that they are done. Also depends on if you like them crispy, bacon a little softer, etc. Do a small trial run....it will help tremendously. That is how Alex taught me.

Hopefully Alex will come in here and give more details....I'm just a fly by the seat of my pants cooker.

You can cook them quicker, but as I said, you will have to pay closer attention to them so they don't burn.

Sorry, been watching games all day.

Make sure you smoke them for 2-3 hours around 225-250. Cook them at that heat and when the bacon is done they are done. It will allow the pepper to soften up and lose some of it's heat.

KK, never question the method. Next time I will give you a habenero turd and you will like it!

Plans for the menu are still in the works and we may have some goodies for lunch.

If anybody is in doubt about showing up for the festivities just know that there exists a core group of people who live for this poo and have been thinking about playoff tailgate foods and festivities for weeks now. Each and every day there are some of us who keep thinking of things to make the food and gameday experience better for everyone who shows up and those of you that do will benefit from it.

And rain be damned. We have so many tents now that if you just show up to this event if it's raining like hell you will still stay dry.

Actually, the chances of me making it are slim too. That's why I need a Panthers/Philly championship because I can easily make it the next weekend.
