They're really the only thing I get annoyed by if people skip over or don't rave about at gatherings.

Yeah I made a batch to take over to my buddy's last year with the rib meat. Laborious shit. He's only got a gas grill and I apparently have completely forgotten how to cook on gas now that I'm team charcoal.
I was fairly drunk already but I cranked the heat up on one side and thought I'd give them a couple minutes then move them over for indirect cooking. Wrong. Must have had a flare up from the bacon and by the time I wandered back over to check them out I'd completely scorched every pepper except maybe two. Like incinerated them. I had a tray of 20 of those ****ers and they were all trash.
I was heartbroken. And angry at the propane gods for doing me like that. Next time I'll just cook them at home and warm them up when I get there.
