How Long Do I Smoke A Fatty?

[meandmytwodogs]

I am doing my first two fattys today. I can't find any info on how long they should smoke for. I don't imagine that you can probe these since it is filled with cheese and such. Bother are made with 1 lb of meat, at about 1/2" thickness around the roll. Please help!

One is "Old Folks b-fast sausage with pepperoni, asiago, romano, and mozzerella cheeses, then artichoke hearts, and sun dried tomatoes. Then I sauted mushrooms, red onion and whole garlic cloves(till the garlic was soft enough to smash), added that and sprinkled in a little dried basil. After rolling I topped with more of the asiago and romano cheeses and sprinkled with red pepper flakes. No bacon.

The second is pork chorizo with a layer of mexican style colby/jack cheeses, cilantro, a bit of green onion, black olives, black beans, and some chipoltle peppers from a can. After rolling it up I topped with a bit more of the cheese blend. No bacon on this one either.

So my hunch is that these can handle about four hours in my LongHorn, but I would apreciate your support.

About 2 to 2.5 hours until internal temp reaches 160 on the thermo.

KC has you covered. Let us know how the chorizo turns out. That sounds really good.

I want some finish shots of the fatties!!

 

[meandmytwodogs]

I will. I didn't get shots of the prep of the Italian gourmet fatty, but I did get pics of building the chorizo one. I'm cookin this afternoon and eating later this evening, but I will make sure to take the camera. My first run. I'm psyched.

I still get excited every time I smoke. Got pork butts and kielbasa going as we speak!

TIME!!!!!! TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!.............bwahahahahaah

i take em internals to 170..........if the cheese is 170, the surround fattie should be done.........BUT........and this is important......tent em, and leave em rest.......i like to rest em @45 minutes to a hour........this lets the cheese set.......if you cut in TOO soon......the fattie falls apart, and cheese oozes EVERYwhere..........just a thought

Twodogs, glad you asked that question. I put Dutch's beans on an hour ago and just put on a couple fatties. I thought I had read somewhere on here that they took about 2 hours, so I figured they would both be done about the same time. Now I can relax and let em cook.
WD, thanks for saying something about tenting them too. I'm sure the wife would have just cut right into them as soon as I brought them in. Would have been cheese all over!
