"Grilling & BBQing"
This section, I believe, is for methods & processes, so here's my personal format for wrappin' 'em up...........hope this helps in the ongoing quest for the more tightly wrapped 'Turd........
First, in reguard to the planning stages, I'll refer to either of these two formulas:
I've found that the above offer enough flexibility to accomodate personal preference..............
Ok.....
1) Top & spilt, i usually do 3~4 at atime to move things along.....
2) Choose & prepare filling..... ( tandoori spiced cream cheese in this case )
3) Load pepper shell & wrap around end to contain filling (also known as the "End-Around Wrap")
4) Twist & flop, begin to stretch bacon here............
5) Continue around, stretching gently but firmly..................
6) Complete & tag with toothpick ( some folks skewer at this point, some just pull the bacon snug & go......I like a Sure-Grip 'Turd, so toothpick it is......)
7) Fire Up.....
Load coals..............
9) Load 'Turds..........................
*** i've taken to cooking for a short time before adding wood, at a bit higher heat to seal things up somewhat......
10) Add wood, aiming for a clean, thin blue burn........
11) 1-1/2 to 2 hours, even a bit more sometimes at a fairly low heat ( 215 ~ 235 )
12) Not the very best batch I've done, but here's the footprint of the consumed 'Turds ~~~>
Hope this aids in the production of higher quality 'Turds for all........
