Who likes to smoke food

**XstreamVking** · 08-29-2020, 06:36 PM

I have a 55 gallon barrel 1/4 cut and hinged. Adjust grates with some old fireplace bricks stacked up. Very crude but makes some of the best groceries. Fuel it with mangrove wood chunks combined with some orange tree chunks. Citrus and mangrove wood make some of the best smoked BBQ ever.

Me, I bought a new Traeger about a month ago and got rid of the wood/charcoal offset smoker. This
Thing is amazing.

I have a good old fashioned smoker made out of steel pipe. offset smoke box i guess you would say. i use red oak or pecan, sometimes mesquite depending on what i'm cooking and how. i learned to cook on the 4 hour bbq cookoff time table but i do stuff longer sometimes...

This stuff is addicting, I thought I could cook a steak until I got this grill.

Smoked mac and cheese with bacon wrapped. Cheese stuffed jalapeños.

**bullet20vee** · 08-31-2020, 08:08 PM

There were a lot more jalapeno poppers when I took them off the grill, my daughters got their hands on the other 12 before the steaks came off and stood for 10 minutes.

I'll share my secret recipe for jalapeño poppers. Mix your cream cheese with boudain before stuffing the peppers. Just knead in enough boudain to make the mix about 50/50. Sometimes you can find boudain in blocks, if not just peel the casing off. Stuff the peppers and wrap with bacon as usual. I pin them together with toothpicks so they don't unravel on the grill. Everybody loves this recipe! Apologies to those of you who can't find boudain locally!

**bullet20vee** · 08-31-2020, 08:39 PM

I have never heard of this boudain you speak of, I usually just use cheddar or colby jack cut into rectangles. I'll have to look into that. Thank you sir.
