Afternoon folks, so I work midnights and after I finish my shift for the week it really sucks trying to get back into a normal sleep cycle. Im sure anyone who works midnights know exactly what I am talking about. Anyhow i was bored and could not sleep so i decided to try my hand at a fatty. I got a pack of spicy italian sausage, sweet italian sausage, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, classico pizza sauce, and pepperoni. I completely forgot to roll out the sausage and just piled the topping on top of the hunk of sausage. I wrapped it with the bacon weave and set it on the smoker. It cooked right between 225 and 240 for 3 hours til it was at 160 degrees. The only problem I really had was that all of the cheese melted out because it just saw on top. Anyhow this was the first time that I actually used charcoal instead of pecan. I only had a few pieces of the pecan so i decided that i would just throw the log on the coal. I couldnt believe how evenly the charcoal was. The results were great. The bacon had a good color to it; however i would have liked to have been a little more crispy. I really enjoyed the taste of it. It had a smoky taste to it but it was not overpowering at all. All in all i really enjoyed it and learned that i will definitely be using charcoal from now.
