I've learned so much reading the posts on here, thank you all! Thought I'd add how my first fatty went.

The wife asked what I wanted for Father's day dinner. I told her I wanted to roll and smoke a fatty. Of course she was a little concerned at first, but after explaining g further what I meant and that I was not asking to do anything illegal she calmed down.

All the ingredients ready to roll!

The meat mixture: 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb ground pork, onions, parsley, BBQ rub (Steven Raichlin's), worcestersire, 2 eggs, 1 Cup bread crumbs. Mixed up and spread in a 2 gallon ziploc

Spread Swiss cheese and mushrooms on top, then rolled it up and sent to refrigerator to refirm up.

Weaved the bacon

Rolled it all in saran wrap to form it into a better log, refrigerated overnight

Smoked it in the MES at 275 for 3 hours alternating hickory and Applewood chips. I was happy with the eye test so far. Let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing, it was a long 20 minutes.

First slice into heaven!

I can say I will definitely be doing this again. So freaking delicious! I posted on Facebook and already have requests from friends and family to bring one to the 4th of July gatherings. I'll be happy to oblige.

Man, your first will be hard to top because it looks perfect! The bacon is beautifully cooked. Points for sure!!!

Thank you. I was surprised that at 275 the bacon got as crispy as it did, I might still try broiling or grilling next time to crisp it up a bit more, though I'll have to balance not over cooking.
 
Great job on your first try!

Looks like you have been doing these for years!!

Points!
