Fatty Experiment #1: Success!!

[Bill-Chicago]

I had 2 fatties, 1 Sage and 1 Italian thawed for last weekend.

Got to the smoker, found out it wasnt cleaned on T Day, and butts andloins went 278* on the Weber.

But I had a Sage and Italian fatty thawed.

Wife called work

Whats for dinner?

Lets have pasta, I'll cook the italian fatty.

Well I cooked the italian and the sage fatties, pretty much offset on the gas grill. browning, not burning, the sides of the fatties as I rolled them.

once the crust formed,(brown, not burnt black) those puppies cooked offset in the gas grill for an hours. Slice the italian and threw in Marinara.

AWESOME

So I offer this brothers,

When done right, as a compliment to a dish, a GRILLED fatty, takes on a whole new dimension

The sage on, after crisping up the outside and offsetting grilled, very moist and succulent.

So please try and experiment with the almighty fatty.

Its very forgiving, (And good!!)

Awsome, sounds like something i may have to try.....SOON

the italian fatty was a little under done, but 1.2 hour in bubbling marinara chaged that.

we loved it.

grilled fatties are now on my "list" of things to do.

I hate to admit it, but I still haven't tried a fatty yet. I was telling the wifey about it, but she just kind of scrunched her nose and said "ewww". How do you guys usually serve a smoked fatty, is it a breakfast meat, lunch, dinner? I promise to give it a try next time I fire up the dera.
Right now I have to clean the damn thing out, some major storms ripped through my area, tore off the cover and dumped about an inch of water in the smoking champer. The firebox is all rusted now also. Fun fun.

Yes.

Tim and I chow down at cookoffs with just buttered, toasted (on the firebox top) English muffins! It's good on biscuits, too. Or crumbled into gravy to serve over biscuits, etc. etc. etc. I think most of the guys will 'fess up that the fatties don't usually make it to the table -- sliced out on the cook table and eaten immediately seems to be the most common way of serving.

Mostly I serve them just like you would breakfast sausage, on a biscuit or with eggs and hashbrowns. When I fix them I fix several. The leftovers I slice then freeze on a cookie sheet then drop in a ziploc. The frozen slices nuke great for quickie breakfasts and are awesome tossed in a skillet to give a little of the fried crusty mod on the outside. Not sure if Kick or one of the Bellybros thought of this but we did it at the Boone Co Contest and they were awesome!

As Misata says, its a side dish

Ribs, taters corn, and, o yes, fatty slices.

just serve it, they will come

We could take that quote to another forum and fill pages :roll: I guess I have to give the fatty more chances.
