I have a fatty on for the 1st time. You all keep talkin about how good they are but I would like to know about how long to smoke him & what the internal temp should be.

Are you watching the internal temp of the fatty also?

Are you making your fatty plain or did you add a few ingredients?

Fatty is Plain & rolled in a little rub. Last check it was 160 degrees inside @ 2 hours. Now it is @ 2 1/2 hours & will check in about 1/2 hour for temp. (I don't want to look until I need to let the smoke out to turn the ribs & wings)

Sounds good, It goes great with beer while smoking. One tip, theres always
room for 2 or 3 or more on the smoker

One thin slice of that fatty and those same neighbors will be out there holding the light for you. Congrats on the success.
