Instructions

  1. Wash the jalapeños
  2. Cut off the stems and remove the seeds and veins
  3. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise so they become boats.

  5. Stuff the mixture into the boats just slightly heaped up over the edges.
  6. Cut the bacon slices in half and wrap a half slice of bacon around each stuffed pepper.
  7. Place the stuffed, bacon wrapped jalapeños onto a Bradley rack for easy transport into and out of the smoker.
  8. Set up your smoker for cooking at about 230°F and enough wood for about 2 hours of smoke.
  9. Smoke cook the stuffed jalapeños for 3 hours or until the peppers are wimpy and the bacon is done and has good bite thru.
  10. Serve immediately.
