Hi all I'm going to try my hand at a fatty and I'm wondering what temp to pull it at and roughly how long they take at 250-300? I'll be doing it indirect with a few handfulls of mesquite woodchips on a Smokey Joe Platinum (since that's all I have). Also how many briquettes should I start out with? They look so darn good I have to have one! I'll be using hot pork sausage I assume 1lb is the standard?, colby jack cheese and some sauteed japs, onion and a little garlic. I'm also wondering how difficult it would be to control the temp on the SJP if anyone knows. I know I may not get the perfect temp but I'm just gonna try to get the fire not too hot and cook it with some smoke till its done. Can't wait to try it! :lol: I had some trouble this weekend. I did 8 packs of dogs for a friends kids bday party and afterward probably 40 mins later I closed the top and side vents halfway and since I did the SJS mod left the bottom vent open all the way and couldn't get the temp to drop below 450. I waited a while but just gave up. But I did have almost a full chimney in there so i'm sure thats why.
