Folks do 'em all different ways & sometimes I see complaints about them coming unglued, so here's my personal format for wrappin' 'em up...........hope this helps in the ongoing quest for the more tightly wrapped 'Turd........ :D
First, in reguard to the planning stages, I'll refer to either of these two formulas:
I've found that the above offer enough flexibility to accomodate personal preference..............
Ok.....
1) Top & spilt, i usually do 3~4 at atime to move things along.....
2) Choose & prepare filling..... ( tandoori spiced cream cheese in this case )
3) Load pepper shell & wrap around end to contain filling (also known as the "End-Around Wrap")
4) Twist & flop, begin to stretch bacon here............
5) Continue around, stretching gently but firmly..................
6) Complete & tag with toothpick ( some folks skewer at this point, some just pull the bacon snug & go......I like a Sure-Grip 'Turd, so toothpick it is......)
7) Fire Up.....
8) Load coals..............
9) Load 'Turds..........................
*** i've taken to cooking for a short time before adding wood, at a bit higher heat to seal things up somewhat......
10) Add wood, aiming for a clean, thin blue burn........
11) 1-1/2 to 2 hours, even a bit more sometimes at a fairly low heat ( 215 ~ 235 )
12) Not the very best batch I've done, but here's the footprint of the consumed 'Turds ~~~>
Hope this aids in the production of higher quality 'Turds for all........ ;D
