Hit the ground running with my new Green Mountain Grill (GMG) Davy Crockett (DC) and decided to put a twist and a little zing to some Hickory smoked stuffed red bell peppers. As you can see from the image above, the GMG Davy Crockett is perfect for smaller meals. But don't be fooled with it's size. With my previous GMG DC I smoked some turkeys that were up to 14 pounds. It's a very versatile unit and is fantastic for tailgating and to take along in your RV. What happened to my older unit you ask? While visiting our Son last Summer I decided to leave my DC with him and I'm happy to say he's enjoying the use of it.
Note that beautiful smoke generated by my favorite pellets - cookinpellets.com Premium 100% Hickory pellets. I must admit that I love the smell of Hickory.
Preheated the GMG DC to 225ºF using Cookinpellets.com Premium 100% Hickory pellets. Smoked the stuffed peppers for 45 minutes before increasing the pit temperature to 350ºF. Cooked at 350ºF until the internal temperature reached 160ºF. About 30 minutes. Rested the peppers for 5 minutes before serving.
