what exactly is a fatty?

 

[big griz]

A fatty is 1 lb of breakfast suausage, Italian sausage, etc that is rolled out, filled with various ingredients (cheese, onions, bacon, peppers, etc), rolled back up, woven in bacon, and then smoked.  They can also be smoked right out of the package (aka a naked fatty).   Here are a couple of great links that gives detailed instructions on how they are made....http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/87031/rollin-a-fatty-my-version and http://www.smoking-meat.com/january-2010-bacon-wrapped-stuffed-sausage-fatty.html

:drool. Okay.....I have got to do some of these! Yours looked great!

 

[big griz]

Thanks KathrynN! I am new to all of this and these fatties are the perfect thing to smoke while I get my smoker fined tuned enough to take on some more expensive cuts of meat. Besides experimenting with different "stuffings" is half the fun.
