    Tamale and Cheese Fatty. Qview

    Yeah, sounds good. I didnt go to crazy with mine because it was my first one. I just used regular breakfast sausage. I'll have to try the bratwurst sausage next time. and I'll also try a beef fatty too.

    Tamale and Cheese Fatty. Qview

    Just regular Bryan bacon. I didnt get the smoked bacon because, I would be doing the smoking myself But I was thinking that peppered bacon might be good to try. Also I cooked it to 170. Pecan logs, and apple chips where the wood of choice yesterday.

    Spices

    Where does everybody buy the spices you use for your rub? Is there somewhere to buy large amounts of paprika, and pepper, and chili powder and such. Seems like I make a couple rubs and I am already out of paprika, or something like that.
