Outrageous Fatties!!!

[Bigmista]

I am going to smoke a coupla butts on Saturday for a Church Beach party on Sunday. I wanted to smoke a few fatties while I was at it but I went to the Grocery store and was shocked! $2.99 for a 12oz. fatty!

And that isn't just one store. That was an average!! Are fatties that expensive everywhere or is that just a SoCal thing?

3.49 for a 2 pounder at Costco

1.99 on sale at the grocery stores for the 1 pounder Jimmy Dean, Bob Evans, etc.

I had 12oz that were "low fat" which can run on the dry side.

[Bigmista]

I went to Costco yesterday. They didn't even have any! And the only other ones I can find are the high as hell 12oz. fatties. Hell I can eat that by myself!

[BBQchef33]

Thats all i can get here also.. 12oz jobs.. bought 5 yesterday.. didnt even check the price, got no idea what it was. Picked up 2 hot, 3 maple.. gonna try to find a a few more in different stores.

Fatties, ............. when you smoke these puppies, do you smoke them as a whole roll? Or slice them up?

Would have never thought to smoke these, I guess they`re good?

Whatdaya eat dem wit? On a roll? Or serve with sides dishes?

Guess I`m throwing one in my next Q?

[parrothead]

Smoke em whole for about three hours. I usually flip about half way through. Slice and munch any way you care to.

Yes.

All of the above.

Throw in chili or marinara (the italian was awesome that way

[Solidkick]

2.69 a package the last Jimmy Dean I bought, small logs.

[Bigmista]

Those prices are farking ridiculous. My Pop shops with the rest of the retired people early in the morning. Gonna tell hime to buy all he can at the 99cents store and freeze them.

Nothing like a freezer full of fatties.

i've tried publix brand italian hot and mild sausage. farkin' incredible. il take two or three sausages out of the casing and roll'em together to make a log. you could use more to make'm bigger...

i'm making 50lbs of butt tomorrow (startin late in the afternoon to have'm ready for lunch on thursday), gonna put on 4 2 lb fatties - 2 hot jimmy dean's (coulnd't find tennesee pride) 2 mild sage jimmy dean's and i decided to put on a couple of the italians without the casing

willl keep y'all posted...

[Bigmista]

Sometmes you get what you ask for. I went to the store this evening just get some rice and some butts for this weekend. Butts were way too high ($1.99/lb.) But lo and behold, I look up and see some fatties "marked down for quick sale". I bought all they had. 5-12oz. fatties for $.85 a piece.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a fatty?

No excusing necessary. We all learn here!

A fatty is a chub of pork sausage. Usually Farmer John or Jimmy Dean. You might have your own local brand. It's what you use to make patty sausage.

We smoke the chubs whole for about 3 hours. Good Eats!!

Sausage log. A example would be a Jimmy Dean Sausage Log.

[markbet]

Thank you so much for the answer, that sounds really good. I just got my Bandera yesterday. If I can find a good receipe for that "fatty" I would like to try it out. Thanks again!

How bout downsizing your Dr Pepper marinade for use on a fatty

[parrothead]

Don't buy inferior brands of sausage. They will taste like a smoked hunk of fat!!!

Don't bother taking the casing off of sausages! I do brats all the time and they suck up plenty of smoke.

[brdbbq]

I don't remove the casing but I do pierce it to prevent bursting.

Scary vision of you and Brian working together mod!

[Bigdog]

Put on several fatties each time you cook if you like them. Then you will have one or two left, after snacking, to put in the frige or freezer to have later for a super breakfast with eggs (after all, they are supposed to be breakfast sausages :shock: ). Just thaw, slice them up and nuke 'em.

I ate mine with my BBQ tongs :shock: ,,,,well, I had to keep taste checking to see if it was done, right? :D

I start my fire about 6 a.m. then I put the meat and fatties on about 7a.m. Then I go back to bed. When I get up about 10:00am, I make some eggs, toast and grits and pull the fatty off of the smoker. Great way to start a Saturday morning!

Mike, I'm with you on the sausage biscuts, I like mine with pepperjack cheese and a V-8. Thats a breakfast that will last 'til some ribs get done and those usually hold me 'til the brisket gets done. When done right 'dera Q is an all day food fest.

[Qczar]

Is it me folks? Or does it always seem like everyone here is always starving?

I`ve been incorporating my cookings from my Bandera into other dishes in the kitchen. Chili, taco`s, chipolte`s on hamburger or chicken, etc....... Now breakfast sausage? I have to try it.

Now if I can only catch that farkin` cat that`s been pissing on my grill cover! Anyone ever smoked a cat?......... I`ll call it 'Catties'.

[Bigmista]

I'm down with the biscuits if I'm up early enough to make them from scratch. Otherwise, only Pillsbury Grands will do and they don't last long at my house.

[markbet]

You guy's are GREAT!! I think my BBQ experience is going to be a real fun one, especially with all the crazy and fun people on this site helping me out....LOL!

Mark

[kcquer]

Mark, glad to have you with us. Go to the Cattle Call forum and introduce yourself and get a proper Brethren welcome. I think you'll fit in here just fine.

[Bigmista]

NoooOOooOoooo...

Run while you can Mark! These people will suck you in and brainwash you! After a while your whole life will be Beer, BBQ and this site! It's...it's...

Waitaminit...that ain't so bad, is it?

[markbet]

Thank you, I do feel at home here, and that is do to the good people here. I will try out the Cattle Call soon....Thanks again. Only one drawback about coming to this site, it does not matter what time the day or night it is, I always leave hungry hearing about all the great BBQ going on.

xczar,

Don't smoke the cat they never get tender just stringy, and the flavor is not good either. Just stick with turtle or skunk.

Who's smoking the skunk? No drugs in here!! I only associate with drunks!

Getting back on track....the price of sausage is the reason I grind my own. Last weekend, I took 40 lbs of boston butt costing $0.89 per pound and turned it into 38 pounds of sausage worth say $3 a pound. That's over $80 I saved. Do the math.

I really didn't have 2 pounds of waste either since I smoked the bones for making beans. Plus, the quality ingredients of my sausage is better than what I could have bought at any local grocery store.

[Bigmista]

*looking for tickets to mark's house*

Dang! I've been checking out Butt prices here. $1.49/lb is the cheapest I've seen lately. Shoulders are $.79/lb thouogh. I think people are catching on. It used to be the other way around.

[BigAl]

xczar,

No cats here, the hawks get 'em all.

[markbet]

So how many pounds is a chub of sausage? I take it the chub is bigger than the small packages in the frozen meat section, I think they are somewhere around 1lb packages.

Mark

[Trout_man22]

For those of you that want to try to make your own breakfast fatties go to http://home.pacbell.net/lpoli/index_files/Maple_Breakfast.pdf This guy has gotten JD maple down to an art. I do not use the casing but form them into rolls and then smoke'em, damn good.
