Gonna do a dozen or so of these tomorrow for my dad since I will already have the Bandera running for a rib cook. In the past, I have always done these in the 300-325 range to ensure a crispy bacon. I was planning to keep the smoker in the 250-275 range, since that is my norm for ribs. My question is...will the bacon crisp up enough if I run them at 250-275 for maybe 2 hours?
 
If it doesn't you can always toss them on the grill or into a hot oven for a few minutes. I like my bacon a little wiggly so I am a bad reference.
 
I've done ABT's in the smoker numerous times. Leave 'em in long enough and they will get crispy enough.

Never had any complaints - matter of fact a couple of times, I didn't even get to try one! Lesson learned, don't let anybody else take the ABT's inside while you tend fire, mop ribs, etc!

I have done them plenty of times at lower temps..... No issues at all just takes alittle longer.
 
Torrential rains for the first half of the day killed my plans to cook. Cook is moved to Tuesday. :(
 
Rain ceased for now...Threw half dozen wings and a dozen hastily wrapped ABTs on...running the Weber at 325. Ribs will have to wait their turn since I am getting a late start.

Some good looking grub tonight in Hickory!

Fingers crossed for our boys in Carolina Blue!
 
Everything is looking good. I guess you got all of the heavy rain that we were supposed to get. I needed more than we actually got because I just re-seeded my lawn yesterday. Glad you got to cook something.
 
We're done! ABTs were hastily, translated sloppily, wrapped so a lot of the cheese oozed out of about half of them...The 3 I ate were still delicious. The rest went next door to Dad. Chicken skin is as crispy as I could want...Used Pork and Peck'r mustard sauce on it.

HEELS UP BY 5 WITH 1:45 TO PLAY...GO HEELS!!!:clap::clap::clap:
