    Reflections on the Throwdown

    Wow! What a great time. Just when you thought the internet was a vast wasteland of filth and inane babble, you find a fatty throwdown. Lots of creativity, encouragement, and community; that's what I'm trying to encourage at the church, and you folks nailed it! Things I've discovered/learned: 1...

    Hot Italian Rope - Bullet Break-in

    Just broke in my generic charcoal bullet (after modding it on Friday) with about 3 lbs. of hot Italian sausage that I got from my mom a few weeks ago. It held pretty consistently between 225 and 250 for about three hours. Pulled the sausage at 165 degrees and let the smoker roll with a few...

    Stop me! Drum Smoker Intervention?

    OK, I've had it for about three weeks, but I finally opened my new 55-gal drum to start my build. It seems to have a coating, but it's so thin and easily scratched, that I'm inclined to think I can burn it off easily. However, there is a dried glob of the original contents in the bottom: from...

    Daughter's First Fatty

    Back from a week in Cincinnati, and our 10-year-old daughter wanted to make a fatty. She cut up the cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, rolled it out, and layered it. I rolled it and launched it on the KC Rival, but she did all the hard work. So, as I post this, I'm having pizza fatty on a rice...

    Smoker Stork?

    I just got home from a long weekend in PA for a family reunion, and sitting on my patio was a drum smoker! OK, it's still in the embryonic stage. Me and the missus are registered at BabySmokers 'R Us. Sonogram: Attachment 10295 I know, these posts get weirder and weirder, but the cigar goes...

    Fatty Rolling Tutorial w/ Pics

    I don't claim to be an expert, but I'm pretty pleased with my efforts so far. Here's how I roll fatties to get a nice spiral. Props to Capt Dan for the tip on twisting the plastic wrap. 1. Roll out! Flatten out the sausage on plastic wrap lengthwise. I do this on a 9 x 13 sheet because it keeps...

    Father's Day Fatty Fling w/ Q-View

    Nobody said this could be contagious

    After the amazing inside-out sausage & cheese biscuit fatty experience, I knew my wife was hooked. But I didn't know how much until she called me at work to ask how long it would take to smoke some chicken breast halves. She had gone out with the specific purpose of finding meat to smoke for...

    Pizza & Sausage Biscuit Fatties w/ Q-View

    Inspired by HokieSmokie and CinnamonKC, I launched two fatties this evening after work. The first is a pizza-esque version featuring pepperoni, mozarella, and sun-dried tomatoes (I was worried about how wet sauce would be). Check it out: The second is a simple sausage and cheese biscuit...

    First Fatty - Not a confession... (Pics)

    I'm not exactly sure why, but I'm just a little uncomfortable announcing that I've rolled and smoked my first fatty.... I was inspired by my buddy flyin'illini who brought a nice cheddar fatty to a church breakfast--mighty fine! I used Bob Evans Hot & Zesty and rolled in some sauteed onions...

    Memorial Day - Brisket - Pepper Spray

    In addition to a Boston Butt and a couple of chickens, I smoked a brisket for about 40 Memorial Day guests. Sorry no pics. I had read about oak in Cheryl and Bill Jamison's "Smoke & Spice" that "what it does to beef brisket is probably against the law in some states" (p. 20). So naturally, I...

    Memorial Day - Boston Butt

    I stuck my neck out last week and went public with my fledgling smoking skills. My wife and I invited the staff and elders (as a minister, they're my bosses...) and their families from our church for a picnic, and 40 of 45 showed up. With all those folks coming over, I decided to start early...

    Hey! Smokin' in Livonia

    Got turned on to this site/forum by my buddy "flyin'illini" Glen. Been trying for the past couple of years, but haven't had much opportunity to smoke much of anything. I live vicariously through BBQ episodes on the Food Network, Travel Network, and anywhere else I can find it. Equipment: an...
