Smoking a fatty (pics)

**DVDTracker** · 02-08-2009, 02:51 PM

A fatty, in the BBQ world, is a pork sausage roll stuffed with various goodies and then smoked slow and low. I have a Weber Smokey Mountain and have been wanting to try a fatty for a while. My parents were coming over today for a late lunch, so I decided to give one a try. Well, two actually.

This is the first one. Did it yesterday as a trial run.

Ingredients: Sausage, bacon, onion, peppers, cheese

These are getting cooked, chopped and stuffed in the sausage.

Onions and peppers. I dumped the bacon grease and scrapings into these.

Sausage flattened and ready for stuffing

Rolled with a bacon weave. It got a little overstuffed and I forgot to get a pic before it got rolled.

Put a little Salt Lick BBQ sauce on it and popped it on the Weber Smokey Mountain

Took about 2.5hrs to get it to 170F internal temp.

Fatty #2, turned out better. Spread the sausage out a bit more, added more cheese and got it to roll better.

The bacon weave

The finished product

BTW, the Weber Smokey Mountain is a great smoker for the price. There's a great forum for it if you want to read up on it. http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/

I'll be honest, the title of this thread made me raise my eyebrows a bit. Now that I see what it's all about, I'm really glad I clicked on it. This is definitely something I am going to have to try. Do you have anymore recipes? Those look soooooo good.

The fatty looks great. I was thinking that this thread line was referring to cigars.
I've been so wanting to get a smoker but haven't gotten around to it. Every time I see something like this I start making plans to get one but something crops up and I don't.

That is exactly what I was thinking. It looks like one of those "you haven't lived till you've tried, but you haven't tried cause you want to live" type of things. Beautiful death on a plate.

Beautiful death on a plate.

Agreed. Pass the Lipitor Schnapps.
