So, @Loonysup, I'm assuming that the second cook was either Wright Brand or Smithfield.  How did the finished product compare using the thick vs. the thin bacon?  Did the thick bacon crisp up as much as the thin?

I think it's wrights.  My personal opinion is that they came out better with the thicker bacon because more bacon per bite is always better.   Also, I was able to cut the bacon in to thirds pretty easily and it wrapped nicely.   Also the thicker bacon cooked beautifully. 

I've taken these to several parties now and they are always the most talked about app there.

After you dunk the balls in the glaze, how long on the grill?  And I guess more glaze on the side?

Thanks,

@Loonysup  Robert's got a question on the balls.....look grate, btw !!!

I've done some things like this too....they're really good & wrap just that much faster than ABT's.....



Done them different ways.....saucing on the Kettle, but it's kinda messy....another way is to smoke them off & then pan them, splash some sauce over the pile & foil over to steam the sauce onto the balls....

These are a lot like the original MOINK balls (Moo, for cow....Onik, for pig, MOINK!!)

Also found some Buffalo chicken flavored balls (1/2 oz. frozen) & used those for CHOINK balls....really good!!!
