Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Use a shallow, wide dish to cook the lime juice in the smoker. Having a large surface area allows more smoke to penetrate the lime juice giving it a smokier flavor. Just be sure the liquid is at least one-half inch deep.
  • Use fresh lime juice.
  • Leave the avocados in their skin in the smoker. Place them in with the skin side touching the grates.
  • Be careful handling the jalapenos. If possible use gloves to prevent the transfer of spicy juices or oils that may linger on your hands. Use a spoon to scrape the seeds out of the jalapenos to avoid touching them.
  • Preheat the smoker for at least 15 minutes prior to starting cooking.
