How long??

[tpicki]

Simple question??? How long should I plan for a 1 to 2 pound fattie? Does the 1 1/2 hour per lb rule apply? Sooner? I'm smoking at 225 to 250. THANKS!!

It will depend a little on fillings and how thick it is after you roll it but most of my fatties get done in 2-2 1/2 hours. Some of my bigger ones have taken 3 hours.

165 degrees in the middle. Time is not important only smoke is important!

But yeah, 2-3 hours or so, roughly.

Thanks for the input. i agree that temp and smoke is the important thing....but if you're inviting people for "brunch" you don't want to miscalculate by a couple of hours!!

Then start early and cooler it.

You smoke by temp not time (very important) So just start your smoke earily and wrap it in foil then towels and put in a small cooler. Remember to fill the cooler with towels and it will stay hot for 3-4 hours I know we do it all the time. Happy smoking.

I dont smoke my fatties by temp because the pork area is usually too thin and I fear my probe will be probing more filling then pork. But, I smoke them for 3 hours, and I have not yet had a fattied under done. I have used as much as 2 lbs of pork for a fattie, and my temps range from 240 - 270, and 3 hours has always done it. I know my temps are a bit higher than most suggest, but that is the range my smoker wants to run at to get steady temps.
