Ah ok. What's an ABT?  I live in the UK so haven't a clue.

Atomic buffalo turd

It's a jalapeƱo, usually cut in half, filled with cream cheese, and wrapped in bacon.

I am constantly amazed as to how much more room the 26 has over the 22. I love mine

Last weekend I brought the midgetized 26'er generously gifted by JEBIV to the park and easily fed 15 people.  We had breakfast casserole and coffee for the early arrivals and then chicken thighs, hot dogs, and chili for lunch.

That's awesome!  I love that the 26" is portable enough to be moved by one person yet big enough to feed a lot of people.

A very unique feature. I'm not sure another grill exists that is that big and can be moved by one person.

A midget would be awesome. Will it fit in a mini van / suv standing up?

I love it, I agree if the grates are out of it you can move it easily. My 26er made 12 or 14 trips to the beach in Florida when the girls were much younger. I never wanted to be surprised with what I had to cook on

Yes, If I flip the lid, it'll fit into my 4Runner's cargo area.

My 26er definitely is my go to cooker amongst the vast choice of 22s I can cook on. I think there are two things ppl assume when it comes to a 26er.  First thing is that you need to cook for a lot of people and secondly, it uses a lot more fuel, both of which I feel are not true. You do not necessarily use more charcoal nor do you need to feed twice as many people. You can cook and warm several different items on one kettle and it's actually more efficient and saves more fuel and time.

I reverse sear them.  Bring them up to temp on the indirect side then sear over high heat at the end.

My guess is that he was trying to bring them up to a certain temperature before searing them over the coals.
