As I mentioned someplace before, these things shouldn't be called "Fatties". For one thing they have drifted so far from the basic "Fatty" that when someone says that they made or smoked a "Fatty", you never really know for sure what they have done. And the other thing is that the name/term "Fatty" does not always seem to live up to what has been created.
Actually I would not have a clue as what to name a creation like this. "Stuffed pork loaf"? "SPL" "Special" "Yummy Tummy"?
Oh well I will just have to get over it and expand my mind when I think about or hear about "Fatties"
BTW I did two plain fatties yesterday, Country Pride with a rub. Cool out and it took a real long time for my little smoker to come up to temps.
ZAPPERS tip of the day.
To open a fatty package without making too much of a mess (Yes, sometimes an issue for me
) Try using a sharp knife to slit the plastic long ways from end to end to make three or four strips and peel like a banana! (OK maybe this was obvious to everyone but me)
Thanks everyone, just a mini-smoke to get me outta the house...
ZAPPER, I too found it hard to grasp the concept of the term fatty, being that it had an entirely different meaning back in my younger years...
As far as opening the sausage package, I snip one end off at the ring, then make a slit lengthwise from the closed end to the open end and peel... similar to your technique.
