Smokin Side Dishes

[Buffalotom]

I have a problem. We are invited to a party for the fourth with my sons future inlaws. They are grilling chicken with gas, ugh. I have shown him the smokers, but he does not see it to be that important. We asked what we can bring. They told us we should bring a side. Any suggestions on the perfect side to show off what a smoker can do? Ma ny thanks!!

Poppers are always a hit (Armadillo eggs, ABT's, etc.) and they don't have to be jalapeno; you can do sweet peppers as well.

Smoked Mac & Cheese is KILLER good.

And potatoes, there's 1,000 different potato dishes you can do. Seasoned roasted potatoes with onions are always a big hit around here. They're good as is or, if you like, you can top them with cheese (whatever kind you like) or bacon or both.

Edit: Oh I almost forgot bacon wrapped asparagus, brushed with a little butter and Italian dressing at the end always disappears with no leftovers!

Ive done some twice baked potatoes that are amazing!! Tons of smoke flavor!!! You first bake them then shred with a grater mix with cheese, sour cream and seasonings then back on the MAK... I have them posted on here, you could probably find them with the search if your interested...You wont be disappointed!!
