I know that everyone has a certain way of preparing peppers for ABT's. I slice them in half, and only remove the seeds. How do you prepare peppers?

I cut off the small end and then take out the seed and lining. Stuffed with flavored cream cheese and a cold yellow or american cheese. I wrap it all with a thick bacon to cover the end used for stuffing. Throw a little rub on it and your good.

Be kind, polite and courteous to everyone you meet, and ALWAYS have a plan to kill them.

I have made these several ways, but by far, the easiest is cutting off the top, slicing them in half, clearing out all the seeds & membrane, then stuffing it with whatever mix you like and wrapping it with bacon.

Then put some BBQ Rub on it and smoke it for about an hour.

Awesome appetizers..

I like two ways, sliced in half when in a hurry with sausage and provalone cheese wrapped in bacon. Or when I have time top cut off and cream cheese mixed with whatever I can find and bacon wrapped of course...

remove the stem. remove seeds and membrane. from here find your favorite ingredients and stuff them. take a slice of bacon and lay it over the hole where the stem was cut off. put a toothpick through the pepper and bacon. cook to desired doneness. i use a pepper grill to cook them on.

I usually cut off the top and slice in half.  If I do 20 peppers, I keep the seeds from 1 of them and throw them in while I am browing some hot Italian sausage.  Drain and crumble the sausage and let cool then mix with cream cheese.  Stuff the peppers and wrap with bacon, usually thin sliced.  A tooth pick to hold it all together and smoke for about an hour.  Tried the little smokies once but it didn't go over as well.  That Texas shaped pepper rack looks sweet, I got to get me one of those!

I have been making these for a few years now and have found that smoking them for 3 hours at 220deg make a better product.
Just saying!!!

Hi Millie, and thanks for your reply. Can you tell us what is different by smoking them for three hours, as opposed to less than three hours?

I just think the flavors meld together better over time.
And I have not had any trouble with them not being crisby.
I have entered them in a few contest and won 1st place every time.
A few years ago I served them at the race at PIR and had a couple of mexican chicks try to kidnape me.

I like the stem to remain on the pepper so I slit the side of the pepper, remove the seeds and stuff with cream cheese mixed with rub then close the pepper tightly with bacon tightly wrapped around the pepper and put in smoker at 250 until the bacon is done.  I present the ABT on a piece of flowered kale and a dipping cup of Ranch dressing.

Yeah, cool thread. I just made some for the second time. These were really good! I removed the seeds and membrane and sliced in half lengthwise. Stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon. Used some Mad Hunky rub on them and slathered with Sweet Baby Rays. I like the idea of holding back some seeds and using it in a mix with sausage and such. Might try something liike that next time.

Not a competition cook. Just doing it because I love the taste/smell/creativity and enjoy feeding people!
Using a WSM to get it done!!
