Default First Time Fatties

Today I did some fatties for the first time. Wow, can't believe what I've been missing. Didn't even know what these were until I joined this forum. Here is what I ended up with today, not too bad for the first time with these, and my 2nd smoke ever.

yeah, I hadn't heard about them until this forum either. Smoked my first one yesterday and it definitely won't be the last. Looks like you got a nice ring on those.

I was a virgin to the fattie before I found this forum also. I need to find someone to show me how to do the diagonal weave :)

I also grilled my first fatty last weekend for friends. You should've seen the strange looks I got when I told them what a fatty was. My friends wife who is not a fan of sausage ate it and loved it!

Try the Maple ones. Sage is a good one that I throw into marinara the next day. Hot is good also.

Heck, they're all good!


Thanks for the pix!

My wife is exactly the same way, and she really like these, and I have had the same conversations with a couple friends about what a fatty is.

The one on the right is the Maple and the one on the left is Lean Original. My wife picked these up for me at the store, and I was a little worried about the lean one. I thought maybe it would be too dry when it was done. They both turned out great, and tasted amazing.

As so many people have posted in the forum, whenever I smoke something there will likely be a couple fatties on there as well!

How long did you smoke them, and what temp? I haven't done one yet, but thinking of doing one or two this weekend.

When I busted out a fatty last weekend for my buddies it was like I opened their eyes to a whole new world. the conversation quickly went into ideas for what to stuff future versions with!

I think lean is a very relative term when it comes to pork sausage I would suspect that, as you found out, that it would come out just fine. Was it a little less greasy than the others?

I've only cooked one myself, so I ask this question in the humblest tone to those who have more experience with them. My guess would be that internal temp (165 is what I went for on my first) is the main thing to worry about with fatties. There is so much fat that my guess would be that they'll turn out whether you cook them at 250 or 350, they'll still be good. Maybe you'd get a better ring on the lower/longer cooks? Just wondering.
