    Fattie Tutorial

    Absolutely! Any ground meat is game as long as it’s one pound. We’ve had pork, chicken, burger, elk, venison, Turkey, and I think one year moose. And that’s busy the ground meat casing! The stuffing has been all over the board! We started year one with only 4 fatties and eBay was ten years...

    Fattie Tutorial

    You know I’m not sure where I learned about fatties but being this is going on 10 years of this fattie contest I’m guessing I saw it on this site maybe 12 plus years ago. If not it was certainly on the internet cause nobody I knew was making them.

    Yes you can’t beat a fattie. This is the 8th contest in 10 years we are having. I chose fatties for the contest over everything else because you never know what your going to get as a judge.

    FATTIE 2022

    Once the judges get the boxes the rest of the fatties go on sample for the crowd. Usually a few hundred people in attendance and 20-36 fatties entered. Scott

    Chain Bbq restaurants.

    This is a very interesting topic to me personally because I’ve had this conversation with a lot of people over the past few decades. Being in Michigan (not a traditional bbq hotspot) we have a handful of bbq spots across the southern part of the mitten (lower peninsula) Side note: I’ve never...

    Covid slowed down the Michigan smokers group the last few years. The founders got together but that’s about it. One of us passed away this year. @handymanstan was one of the biggest supporters of this group and get togethers. Great guy who kept pushing us forward. Good luck with that smoker...

    Lol! It was just something I thought you needed with meatloaf. Gave it a try. They came out pretty good. Bacon, cheese, and jalapeños in them. Had a good smokey flavor.
