My first fatties

[haeffb]

SMF inspired me to try smoking a fatty. Took a day off work on Friday for this special event.

Gathered the necessary ingredients:

Pork Fatty
1 lb medium pork sausage
3 eggs
shredded potatoes
onion
shredded colby/jack cheese

Beef Fatty
Same things but 1lb ground round (probably should have used ground chuck for higher fat content)

Rolled the ground meats in a 1 lb ziploc and placed in the fridge while preparing the other fillings.
Scrambled 3 eggs for each fatty and cooked in a 12-inch flat skillet to make a nice thing layer of egg.
Sauteed the potatoes and onions. Waited for all the ingredients to cool.

Rolled the fatties on parchment, then wrapped in plastic and back in the fridge.

Made a bacon weave following these instructions: http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/2010/02/bacon-weave.html

Into the MES40 at 275 deg for a little over 2 hours. IT was 175 according to the MES probe.

Here's the photo documentary:

nice looking fatties.  I am going to do somesoon(I hope) Too many projects in process.  I will do both sausage and beef also.  How were they, which do you prefer, what will you do different next time?  Thanks in advance for your answers.  Steve

Both were good, but I strongly preferred the pork sausage. Unfortunately, the wife doesn't like sausage, thus the beef variety.

Next time, maybe just ground pork...

Awesome fatties....Thanks for bringing in to work. I have my first ones on the smoker now. I wish I had read this first as I would've used pork, but thats ok. I had to start somewhere anyway.

Just used peppers, onions and cheese on mine. I'll let you know how they turned out!
