Been dying to try one of these and I gotta tell ya that the wife and I are totally hooked.

This is some ground venison we had in the freezer. I thought id would work well with the bacon.

My stuffing was made with saute'd potatoes,onions,garlic.mushrooms and spinach.

Here it is ready to be rolled. Sorry, no cheese. My youngest son is allergic.(Next time I guess I have to make two

My firs bacon weave.

Here it is fresh off the grill. No before shots I guess.

And the cross section. Prepare yourself, if you hadn't noticed earlier I said "fresh off the grill". That's right, the ECB was full

of ribs and I had no room for this baby. I did it on the propane grill with some hickory chips. Didn't get a smoke ring, but it was

awesome non-the-less.      Please Forgive Me.

Next time ( and there will be a next time ) I will make darn sure there is room on the smoker. Thanks to all who have posed these on this site and got my wife and me hooked.

The ribs were also my firs and I was a little dissapointed with the outcome. I was somewhat ashamed to post them. They tasted ok but

not enough rub and they could have stayed on the smoker longer too. Pics just didn't look too good. But I'll try again soon.

I think I know what I did. I should have used more dry rub ( they were a little pale ) And I think the ECB electric just gets too darn hot. I had a lotta company and couldn't babysit the smoker to mess with the temps. I think it ran around 250-260 and I would think 220-225 might have made a difference. I kept it in the shade but it was just so hot out. The smoker is new so I just need to mess around til I get the quirks out. I guess I should have taken pics of the rib proccess so I could have gotten some sound advice but live and learn I guess.

Thank for the comments everyone.

Nice fattie! I haven't tried one yet, but I love looking at all the great posts! Maybe I'll get with it and make one soon. I love the idea of using spinach in it.
