I remember seeing the post - don't know what happened to it.

Is this the one you're looking for, RT?

I smoked the Portabello's last nite in the 08. Just done two as a trial.I followed the recipe, except for the Durkee sauce, which I couldn't find ( I doubled the Mayo).
I used a few hickory chips, and had some alder sawdust which I put in tinfoil in the smoker.
They were great. It had a really good smoke taste & the crabmeat was awesome. I will definately do again. great taste & simple. I will look for some Durkee sauce the next time, or make my own. I Googled the recipe.
