Atomic Buffalo Turds

[McKBrew]

Just finished. They were supposed to be a side with dinner, but since the SWMBO decided to take the youngest ones to a movie, I'm not making anything but turds and rice.

Did mine "on the halfshell" with sharp cheddar cheese in the mix as well.

The one thing you never know with these things is how hot the pepper is. Had some that roasted well and were mellow, some of the other ones are still burning my guts.

Same here. I had one and I was hurting. My mom had one that mild and she thought I was a wuss. Until she got a hot one.

I know this is a dead thread, but one I have read quite a few times! Here are my ABT's with a glass of my Zythos Pale Ale! A delicious complement! Cheers Edwort!

As AZ said I used a version of Edworts recipe. I used cream cheese and sharp cheddar with some garlic and onion powder. Put a lil smokey inside and wrapped in half a slice of Maple Bacon. The maple bacon gave a very nice sweetness which is a good complement when you get a spicy pepper! Then I smoked it with oak for 1 hr while I was smoking a brisket, and since brisket smokes low I pulled them off and threw them in the oven at 250 for 1 hr to finish them. Delicious!!

Well yes, I did miss post number 5. Got it.

Reminds me that I haven't had these in months. Need some ABT's.

What I do to even out the heat in a batch of ABTs-

I cut and core them all, then soak for several minutes in a white vinegar/cold water mixture. Rinse well in cold water. I think the oils get spread around while coring the peppers, and the soak seems to remove some of it.

*Roll the ABTs in brown sugar after wrapping with bacon. Cook them in your smoker, if you've got one.

Made another batch this weekend for some friends. Turned out nice, but I'm curious to try the maple bacon, maybe add some other cheeses. The cooked peppers also lends a bit of sweetness IMO. I should really try these on the smoker, since I have one. I bet some people at work would enjoy them.

I made these this weekend on the half with some shredded cheddar as posted in here. I skipped the sausages in lieu of more bacon - a full slice per half jalapeno. I overloaded the Weber kettle and cooked a little hot - but still delicious.

These are absolutely fantastic. I've made them twice now and they disappear within minutes of coming off the egg. Some people like to put lil smokeys on these, I make em with a chunk of pulled pork on them instead. Tonights were topped with a little bit of homemade blackberry shack attack sauce

 

[DougK]

Disgusting sounding name, awesome food.

I make these fairly frequently.

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

Fired up the smoker for the first time this season for a 9pd butt

Buffalo turds will go on with an hour left!!
First time eating these suckers will repost back!

 

[mikeysab]

Great....now i gotta buy a smoker.

 

[Homercidal]

I've done them on the grill before, but I think it's time to try them on the smoker. I wish I had a tiny little electric smoker. Something portable I can take to friend's houses.

 

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

made them on the grill last week,,,did not turn out all that well, I cut mine in half,next time I'll try to leave them whole and eliminate the smoky link

Not electric but certainly portable. I have the full-sized one & am really liking it.

Have you compared that to the big green egg?

I have to wonder if the actual big green egg is worth the money or if you are merely paying for some green paint and a name.

The BGE is ceramic & definitely a higher quality product than the Char-Griller but way out of my price range. I picked up the Akorn @ Menards for $250, so far, so good.

I love my BGE. I haven't seen the Akorn you showed above in person but the product description lists it as steel with double walled insulation. That's a huge difference from a full ceramic cooker.

My guess is if you found two similar specced ceramic cookers, that they would perform reasonably the same. In that case a cheaper vendor than the BGE would be a better bang for the buck..

The BGE is massive, thick and heavy, holds temps like a champ and is versatile like crazy. I've cooked everything on it from steaks, to fish, to smoking, to baking. Sure it's expensive up front, but I fully expect barring unforeseen circumstances that my 2yr old will be cooking on it as an adult.

That is really cool.

What many people don't know is that the big green egg is not the first kamado style grill. It is merely the most popular. Kamado grills have been around for a long time.
