Now I decided to try a fattie again and al i put in this was moz cheese and pepperoni


Yay it didnt end up NASA certified


More pics to follow when i have ABT's made. Anyone coming for lunch...tomorrow?

Mick
Ok just updated it with pics of searing. I Must tell you it was a pain trying to turn this sucker over.








Now its ready for the smoker.
 
LOL. What time is lunch?

Nice job Mick, looking forward to seeing the results.
 
Heh! Well, the fatty'll be done for dinner at least!

No sear on the brisket eh? Well, it'll still be good, but I DO think the sear adds a dimention to the flavor not attainable without.

Don't forget to update us!
 
If I left now, I could almost drive there for dinner tomorrow. Probably shouldn't though, but the looks of that hunk of meat makes me want to! Lookin froward to the rest of the in-progress pics!
 
Come on!!Well got the lump in the chimney started. Not sure if i will do the ABT's as I have the fattie to keep me going.
 
Looks great Mick! Heck if I leave now, I'll beat Seboke there.

Well as of now and going by the temps i have in brisket internal temp at the moment is 82 and fattie is at 140
 
I am tempted now to even make dutchs baked beans since fattie will be done and free up a shelf in the box
 
that looks really good.!!!

i have a couple questions for ya.

1.. why do you sear the brisket before smoking it.? and did you trim it at all or did you just cook as is.?

2.. making the fatty, is that just ground sausage that you stuffed with cheese and rolled back together.? does it hold up pretty good when you do that.?
 
I trimmed the fat off it til i had about 1/4 inch or so. I have heard good and not so good stuff about searing it so I thought I would try it for myself. Normally i just smoke it as is with no sear.

The fattie i made is a 1lb of jimmy dean breakfast sausage rolled out flat then whatever inside the rolled up. This is my first fattie that made it to completion and it holding up great so far.
 
I have just turned the brisket over and spritzed it with AJ and CM


and again


Temp is at 101
 
Well the fattie is done and it started coming apart where I hadnt got it sealed right. But still happy since it didnt end up nasa certified.
 
so you just roll it up and push it together huh.?

don't use anything to hold it?
 
When I made mine I just rolled it up and it held together ok. I didnt use anything to hold the fattie i made together, but then it started coming apart at the join.
