My first fatty - Thanks to everyone!

[aklee987]

Hey guys. I've been reading all your fatty posts for a while now, and finally tried it yesterday.  Thanks for all the info.

First impression: It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be.  It looked a lot bigger on the internet.  [insert dirty joke here]

I made a very simple breakfast fatty, didn't use any sort of rub/sauce.  I think I'll have to add some sort of rub next time.  Anyone have any ideas?

It's filled with potato, onion, and cheese.  I smoked it on my Egg at 250-275 for 2 hours, then upped the temp to 350ish to make the bacon crispier.  I had a temp probe in the meat, but think I'll skip that next time, the interior cooked really fast, way before the bacon was crispy enough.

Anyway, on to the pictures (I'm not sure how to make the pictures smaller):

Great Job

DO IT AGAIN!

Thanks for sharing

Looks great!  

 Yep the 1 lb chub made into a fatty does look small. I use 1.5 lbs for mine and it makes it a bit larger in diameter and thicker sides so less chance of it splitting apart.

X2 on the 1.5 and congrats on a good looking fattie

Thanks.  I have some 2lb chubs of sausage in the freezer, so perhaps I'll try using those, with a 1/4 of it left over.  

Do you guys have any tips on rubs/sauces for a breakfast fatty like this?  

I served it like this:

Sunny side up egg on top of fatty.

Slice of fatty on top of toast

Toast on bottom

I should have taken a picture of that.
