Here is a picture of the cheese I smoked a month ago.  I would report that this was one of my biggest hits yet.  I brought these home for our 4th celebration and we ran out very quickly.  The pepper jack was by far the most popular.  Next time I'll probably smoke about twice as much.  The guys at work aren't going to be happy that they didn't get any.  The next project I will be undertaking is smoking mixed nuts.  Does anyone have any experience?

Also, recommend WSM. I can do 12 hour cooks without refueling(when the weather cooperates). steady temps. two grilling grates, plenty of room.

However, If AST recommends Longhorn, id listen to him. I'm assuming you're not a dumbass btw.

Brisket, chicken, pinto beans w/ charred ribeye, cole slaw w/ apples & pecan, bacon-wrapped jalapenos

The funny thing is that in our prior talks, he was trying to get me to lower my prices, then he tasted my food and said price is fine

I will do my best to get pictures of the gig but it will probably take about 10 days to post as I will be heading to Portugal for 8 days upon my return to Dallas from Stillwater

I don't know what this is but it sounds enough like moat to have me excited

Thanks and I anticipate my gigs being mostly in the dfw area but will travel if paid well enough

The only way this one makes sense financially is that my parental units live 30 mins from Stillwater and I can write the gas off to just another trip to say hi to the old folks and plus, they are free labor

If it was anywhere else I'd have to charge out the fartbox to cover gas, hotel and being paid during travel time but I told this guy he's lucky

Don't let that scare anyone away from having me do a gig in kc though as my brother lives in joco and it would be a great excuse to make an extra drive and see family

Feel free to discuss those bacon jalepenos in greater depth. I love em but haven't been able to master them yet.   I'm stuck in purgatory between soggy bacon/good peppers and crispy bacon/charred as peppers.

Feel free to discuss those bacon jalepenos in greater depth. I love em but haven't been able to master them yet.   I'm stuck in purgatory between soggy bacon/good peppers and crispy bacon/charred as peppers.

Cut stem end off jalapeno and then remove seeds and core (i use a chopstick to accomplish this by just going in circles), rinse with water and then soak in milk overnight (if they were just for me i would avoid this step and bring the heat)

Cream cheese, chives & garlic salt in a mixer to soften and then put in a piping bag, use piping bag to fill jalapenos (putting the filled bag under warm water softens the cheese and makes this easier)

Take a toothpick and put it through the jalapeno about 1 inch from the bottom, impale bacon on I side of the tooth pick and start wrapping up at an angle without overlapping, put another toothpick through the top parallel with the bottom toothpick (this is actually kind of important)

Put jalapeno grill plate on the grill and let it get hot (flat metal plate with 1" diameter holes in it and look for ones where the holes are not super close together), put jalapenos on plate and then close the lid and grill vents almost all the way

Cook them almost like in an oven, if you leave the grill lid open much these bad boys will flare up bigtime from all the bacon grease hitting the coals; when they are done, pull them off

just set the cream cheese on the counter for an hour or two before you start using it.  also, i add soy sauce and brown sugar to the cream cheese in the food processor (this step is for professionals only).
