Fatties

[KC_Bobby]

:confused: I feel stupid for asking ... but a little help please ... never made them. Any hints or secrets? I picked up two logs to fire up tonight/tomorrow.

Does anyone prep these, do they get cut up or just throw them on til X internal? (please complete the X)

thanks:wink:

[Papa Hogg]

No need to cut up leave the log whole sprinkle with your favorite rub or leave plain...cook until internal temp is 165* about 2.5 - 3 hours at 225* usually does it.

Try stuffing one flatten it out on plastic wrap until it is about 8" x 8" then add cheese, peppers or whatever, re-roll & seal seams good, sprinkle with dry rub.

Pick up some biscuits to eat them on...Farkin' awesome :biggrin:

[Norcoredneck]

When resealing them pinch closed and put in fridge and let get cold. Was told this because mine kept busting open. Dont overstuff.

[KC_Bobby]

Cool, so basically no holds barred and have fun!

I think I'll stuff japapenos, salsa and chedder cheeze in one
The other is italian sausage ... might go get some provolone cheeze for that.

Put in some Roasted red peppers ( they come in a jar with olive oil...I've done that with an Italian one I did)

Won't be long now and you'll be all over these little logs of joy.

Don't forget to cook extras! I like to slice them and then brown them in a pan and eat on a biscuit or English muffin for breakfast. I just finished a breakfast of fatty slices on a toasted English muffin topped with an over-easy egg.

My crew is hooked on stuffing them with jalapenos and pepper jack cheese, then rolled in your favorite rub!

[Smokin Newbie]

My fav so far is rubbed with John Henry's pecan and stuffed with cream cheese , second fav is yard bird with sharp cheddar and chopped up japs mixed in to the fatty.

[butts a fire]

You have inspired me. I am going to the store to pick up a fattie for the 4th.

[Smokin Gator]

I cook 'em 3-2-1 and love 'em that way. 165 internal and them wrapped and coolered works well also. Make sure to spray them once in a while with apple juice. MMMMMmmm

[Captain Caveman]

My favorite is stuffed with brown sugar and crushed pineapple.
Works good for breakfast.

Hey guys, I plan on doing my first fatty's this weekend. Can someone tell me all the ingredients I will need and a step by step process, ie how long to smoke and what wood to smoke with?:icon_shy

weber ranch kettle ,4 weber one touches, verticle drum smoker

My preferred method for doing a fatty.

Head to the local mart and pick out the fatty you want. I'd suggest you then invest in at least a 12 pack of beer to marinate the fatty in, nothing to expensive, it's just a fatty. Or if you prefer some sort of hard liquor, but it's usually more expensive. Also a lot of time fatties come in two packs or more. It's best if you can separate just the one you want. I've never liked the outcome when I've done more than one fatty at once.

After you've marinated the fatty, I usually rub it down with something while I'm getting a good hot bed going. I like something a little spicy. Once it's rubbed and the bed is hot, just do the fatty for as long as you'd like. A lot of people suggest 2 - 3 hours. That's a little long for me so I usually pre-heat the fatty with a little something to get it started so I only have to really do it for 30 minutes or so. It can get kinda boring doing a fatty.

Kinda like a hot dog down a hallway too. Not all that satisfying.

I have crumbled up a few slices on top of a frozen pizza.......I know I should be making it from scratch, but Im not that far into the pizza making yet......give me some time.

It made a so-so pizza pretty darn good!

[KC_Bobby]

WOW

I'll be making more of those in the future!

[MilitantSquatter]

Bobby - We've got tons of good info on fatties...

Check post # 11 in the Roadmap and use the search function as time permits... you'll be pleasantly surprised as to how many variations have been experiemented with...

good luck !!!

[DaChief]

You do get hooked on them and they are real easy to throw one or two on when you are smokin something else.

[KC_Bobby]

I went back to the store and bought 2 more for this weekend. Any good tips for warming?

[Rick's Tropical Delight]

i don't reheat but eat at room temp straight up or on a sandwhich or biscuit

Bobby- Fatties are a house favorite for my family. I get the 2 lbers at BJ's and I usually make 4 stuffed and rubbbed fatties at a time and then when have something to take the edge off before dinner for the balance of the week. To reheat I just pop them in the microwave or if I have more time before dinner wrap in aluminum foil, put in the oven at 350 for about 45min-1 hour. Use your imagination and taste buds on what to stuff them with. It's all good.

Shoot me if you must, but can someone tell me what exactly a 'fattie' is? The pic makes me want to know more.

a smoked fattie is a one pound log of sausage like bob evans or jimmy dean, rolled in a dry rub and smoked for about 3 hours at 250 till 170 internal. or something similar... some stuff em with goodies, some don't.

go smoke a fattie or two!

Thanks Rick.

We're gonna have to try this one.

I also like mine sliced and fried the next morning to go with eggs. A couple fatties will last me a while.
