Tips:

Choose the right jalapeños: Look for firm, plump jalapeños with smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers. To do this, cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
Use a variety of cheeses: The type of cheese you use will affect the flavor of your firehouse jalapeños. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, and pepper jack.
Cook the jalapeños until they are tender: This will help to bring out their flavor. You can cook them in the oven, on the stovetop, or in a smoker.
Serve the jalapeños hot or cold: They are delicious either way. If you are serving them cold, let them cool completely before refrigerating.
