It's too late now, but for the turds, if you want to wrap the bacon around the peppers like you did you should leave the stem end on the peppers and cut them in half lengthwise to make boats, then fill and wrap.


(not my picture. I found it on Google).

that way the filling doesn't ooze out.

If you want to leave the peppers whole then drape the bacon over the open end and toothpick it in place and cook then upright.


(again, not my picture).

Cook them until the bacon is nice and brown and the peppers are soft and lighter green (like the picture above).

Well now, I am prepping my ribs. and I could only get 10 in a container.

No worries.

And no teasing on the blue gloves, It's latex and powder free.


10 ribs can fit into one of these.


10 ribs in the fridge almost ready for the smoker tomorrow.


the last 3 ribs are wrapped in foil and is in the fridge as well.

You should know by now that you can't cook by time and temp. Cook them until the bacon is brown and the pappers are soft whether that takes 15 minute or three days.

BTW, lots of folks use blue gloves.

No problem and I do know you are giving me pointers.

I don't remember saying anything about your ribs?

Lots of good chow there Derek, if its all gone at the end of the day, no matter how you cooked it, you know you have done ok.
I have done the ABT's both ways, boats and hollow, one time I hollowed them out, then cut them in half, filled both sides, put them back together and wrapped the whole thing in bacon which held both halfs together. Made a spot to bite in the middle and all you had to do was bite thru the bacon.

Thank you Scott, you guys have a great Easter, and I will see all of you at The Eagle Cook out!

It works, It works!
