Going over to a friends house today and decided to make up some ABTs to take with.
This is a copper I rescued recently, but have not had a chance to do a first cook yet. Seems like a great opportunity to break in a new-to-me kettle
Since we are going low and slow, I did a mini-fuse with some applewood chunks for smoke. I have found this setup to consistently cook in the 200 - 250 range while providing as much smoke as you want.
Wrapped up some Turds using the method that Buckie recently detailed (thanks Buckie, it works great). 1/2 of the ABTs contained mini chicken sausages, the other half a cream cheese mixture. To the cream cheese I added brown sugar, turmeric, cumin, curry powder, cracked black pepper, and coarsely ground coffee.
Since I wasn't using my SS Performer, I needed a stand to put my Thermoworks unit on. A guitar stand was just the ticket. Temp and 229 - perfect! Let them go for a couple of hours.
Because it is cold and rainy in Norcal today, I had to add some briquets to the top of the fuse to get the temp up.
The copper performed well today on its maiden cook.
Cheers,
Winz
