Notes
For a smokier flavor, add a two apple wood chunks to the coals.
The jalapenos aren't all that spicy in this glaze, but if you prefer extra mild, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before adding it to the pot, or use half a pepper.
To prepare on an alternative grill, setup the grill with an indirect zone, and adjust the heat to 325-350F degrees.
