Too ambitious?

Hey Everyone!

I've seen such AMAZING looking fatties here (I love this site) and I am thinking of throwing some on my Brinkmann (Think everyone calls it ECB?) being slightly new to smoking am I being too ambitious in thinking i can cook 3 fatties and a pork butt all at the same time?

I've done a Butt before (Took me about 5-6 hrs as I'm terrible with the temp) but never a fatty.

Thanks for the advice!!!!

The best thing about a fatty is it is very forgiving. I am making numbers 3 and 4 right now and am much more relaxed than I was the first time. They take about 3 hours and will cook low and slow like your butt. I am not familiar with the layout of the Brinkman, but is should work fine.

Some people will say cook until the bacon is done, but I rely on a temperature probe and cook to about 160 internal. I then check other places on both fatties to ensure it is ready. Resting is optional with a fatty.

Good luck and post some pictures!

Everything turned out great fatties were perfect but I don't quite get a good internal temp with the way i stuffed them.

I made a Pizza Fatty and a Chili Dog fatty both turned out great after about 4 hours (it was cold hard to keep temp consistent) I'll make sure to get some Q-Views up soon just can't do it from work.

Thanks for your help!
