These look great... I would suggest next time to put the drip pan under the grate instead of right under the fattie itself... This will let the bottom side cook better ... and as said above.. they are addicting ... Is that what you meant by it being a mistake ??

For your first time, you did a fantastic job!
Your bacon weave was perfect & it looked absolutely delicious!
Congrats on making the carousel!

Great looking fatties and bacon weaves are looking wonderful. These became a huge hit at home after my wife finally tried them, She was hesitant thinking they would be to greasy.... Wow was she surprised. We have stuffed them with all kinds of stuff, left over Jambalaya was one of the hits. = Like

Oh man do those Fatties look scrumptious.
Great first cook!
The only mistake is getting addicted to them, but only then if your cardiologist finds out.

Congrats on making the Carousel!

I'm very new but take your photos as inspiration! New OK Joe Highland owner here and still just rolling over in my cradle (not even crawling!) in my learning curve. Ahh the smoking journey continues.
Thanks for posting. I've shown my beloved wife Penny your pictures and detect a hint of enthusiasm in her response too!
Don.

Good luck Don there's a lot of good info on here. Once you start smoking meat you become addicted. Just ask chartski
Chartski Fallow Jeffs recipe and technique and you will be happy. A few old fashions during the smoke. Life doesn't get better
