I am sure I have mentioned it before. Ours is Baby Back Ribs. They are small like a appetizers should be. We use a spicy profile when doing them. Instead of buffalo wings they are like pork wings.I think they go over well as none seem to remain.

Over on the Bradley forum, someone had mentioned a favorite appetizer called a 'grenade'. (they look like miniature bacon-wrapped hand grenades) I'll find the details and a pic. He had fixed them on his Traeger...

Those sound scrumptious. I am gonna have to get some lamb and try them!
We do a twist on Armadillo eggs I like to call Heat & Sweet Armadillo Eggs. We use jalapenos AND sweet peppers; either Bells or the mini-sweets you can now get at most markets. Cut them in half (or sections for bell peppers) fill with a mix of sharp cheddar & cream cheese, top with sausage, hit with some rub or brush on BBQ sauce (or both) and smoke for low & slow for 45 min. - 1 hour until sausage is done and peppers are soft.
These always seem to disappear at cookouts & parties.
Another super easy appetizer is take some of the Chunk Imitation Crab Meat, wrap in a small strip of bacon skewer with a toothpick and smoke for about 30 min. or so until the bacon is done. Brush with a little herb butter or lemon butter and serve. Very easy and good.
This can also be done with pre-cooked shrimp.

The song is funny. The ribs I would use a spicy rub Like Smokin Guns Hot which isn't to hot or the Slabs perk up your pork. When they are going in the foil Texas Rib Candy with either Splenda or brown sugar. Sauce would be Pepper Plant , the Slabs or Head Country. Then near the end trim of some ends and taste if they need some heat . Use gunpowder (Smokin guns) or another quick brush of Texas Candy.I look for a sweet heat .

BP, I can't find the 'grenade' post right at the moment, but they were essentially pork tenderloins cut into 1" pieces. Cut a pocket in the side and stuff with some pickled jalapeno slices, frozen shrimp (apparently it helps to keep the IT down so they cook evenly) and some shredded cheese. Wrap tight in bacon and toss on the smoker. Glaze towards the end.. It sounded interesting.
