First off thank you to pokernut for the idea.  This is my Italian style, Marinara, mozz and provelone cheese, ham, pepperoni, and peppers and onions.  This beast weighed in at just over 7#.










Some pics of the candied bacon

wonderful! 
 
That is really scrumptious looking , and what a genius use of the old bundt pan!
Do you know offhand what the total cook time was on the fatty and what IT you pulled it off the heat at?
That is a brilliant piece of cookery. Props to you and poker nut for a great idea.:yahoo:
 
Hambone, it took a total of about 6 hours at 220.  I pulled it off at 162 degrees.  Everything cooked perfect.  I also mopped it with my bbq sauce about 4 times over the last 2 hours.

PG, the candied bacon was just some dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and some crushed red pepper flakes. Baked on a small rack at 200 for and hour then jumped the temp up to 350 for about 10min.  My kids loved it.

I do something very similar and call it spiced bacon

Brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, and fine ground corn meal
 
cool I never thought of doing one like that.............thanks for the ideal.........i got 3 breakfast and one pizza on the smoker as we speak............yum yum
 
Thanks Tom for posting your wonderful creation... I am bumping this up to the top of my must do smoking list. I really have never seen a more beautiful piece of work you have shared with us.
 
Hey guys thanks for the nice comments.  This was all sausage.  I used whatever I had.  Some Bob Evans regualar and spicy.  I had some bulk spicy italian and then bought some more spicy and regualr italian.  I had a total of about 4 1/2# of sausage.  I cant wait to do it again.
 
Dude. that is simply awe inspiring. You can't see, but I'm doing the "I'm not worthy" bow at my computer screen. Seriously, I am.
