Was looking for an excuse to use a newly acquired 22.5 WSM:

Beer can chicken sounds good:

Rubbed with my new favorite dry rub:

Lots of space to fill - some ABTs sound good. For filling, I used blue cheese, cream cheese, and cajun sausage:

Going to make a hash including grilled corn, grilled peppers, diced red potato, garlic, diced onion, and seasoning. Bisbee gets the call:

Good lord this thing is big!

The payoff - Caprise salad (heirloom tomatoes are in season), bacon/blue ABTs, Cesar salad with homemade dressing (took me years to perfect), grilled corn hash, and dry rubbed beer can chicken, all washed down with a nice chardonnay. It was a nice dinner with Mrs Winz on the deck enjoying the evening.

Great job on the cook Winz. I have yet to use my ceramic chicken stand. How much charcoal and how long did it take for the chicken to cook. Everything looked awesome.

Nicely done sir! I like that you used a WSM and a kettle for one meal.

How did you like the blue cheese in the ABT? We tried it awhile back and found it a little sharp using a Roquefort. Also had 1/2 the batch with cream/blue cheese with a granny smith apple. Trying to cut the "twang" with a little sweetness

Jimmy - I mixed the cream cheese, blue cheese, and sausage together before stuffing the ABTs - this allowed me to moderate how much blue cheese taste went into the turds. I love blue cheese, so I used a lot. Strong bacon/blue was the taste profile I was shooting for. I like your apple idea - a new texture with some sweetness. Another idea would be candied pecans - crunchy and sweet.

Oh, the hash is a great way to enjoy all the summer corn we have.
A secret Caesar salad dressing? Might need to ask for that!
