First Fattie w/Qview

[harleyguy]

Here is my first attempt at doin a Fattie:
rolled,wrapped,seasoned & ready to smoke

into the smoker she goes

pulled off smoker @175*...maybe too long, lost most of my cheese

guess it's ok for my first one

Thanks for looking, any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Thats a nice looking fatty. You are going to be hooked now for sure.

Looks pretty good. Where did you loose the cheese from. I didn't see any blow-outs?

 

[harleyguy]

thanks guys, not sure about the cheese loss..when I cut it in half to take pics, didn't see any cheese there. It was a very basic fattie for my first try:
scrambled eggs, onion,bell pepper,mushrooms & sharp chedder.

man that looks like you've made hundreds of em! ! ! Very nice job

 

[harleyguy]

Thanks. Nope, it's my first one. There will be improvements on the next one.

looks very good, sometime the cheese just get sucked into the meat on mine, I learned to use slies rather the shedded on some cheeses. Thats what works for me

Looks like a beauty!!! Nice job!

Looks great, how did you like it?

There, see, it wasn't that bad was it and you got a real nice one on your first attempt.

Now, you asked for suggestions: Any "secrets ingredients" you want to share? As in, what was the sprinkle rub or spice you used on the outside?

A thought: perhaps you didn't use enough cheese? Once you get a cheese blowout, you'll know when too much was used

.

Correction:

Once you get a blowout, AND light a small cheese / grease fire in your electric smoker, you know you used too much.

That looks tasty,excellent job

 

[harleyguy]

The only spice that was used was Tony Chachere's creole seasoning. I wanted to keep my first one simple. As for the cheese disappearing, I think that you may be right, that I didn't use enough. Next time I don't think that I will use shredded cheese either.

Now that is a thing of beauty for sure. Now you will have to keep on trying the cheese part till you get it down. I have never had a problem with cheese ooping out. But you do get some

for the first one thou.
