• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Smokezilla, Frankenfatty, Smokesquatch, the 14 Meat Monster....My craziest creation yet... PRON HEAVY!

Well, I saw the Newbie Throwdown announced and since I had never participated my wheels started turning. My obsession with all things BBQ has led me to a freezer overflowing with vacuum packed projects and experiments and I decided to combine them into one monster of a fatty.

So here are the cast of characters, all homemade/cured/smoked/processed, etc.

Smoked Maple brined pork loin (1/4 lb.)
Smoked roast beef (1/4 lb.)
Home cured and smoked ham (1/4 lb.)
Smoked Brisket (1/4 lb.)
Smoked Tri tip (1/4 lb.)
Smoked Pulled Pork (1/4 lb.)
Smoked Pulled Chicken (1/4 lb.)
Smoked Pulled Lamb (1/4 lb.)
Home cured and smoked Chopped Pastrami (1/4 lb.)
Homemade and smoked Texas Hot Link (2 -1/4 lb. links)
Homemade and smokedKielbasa (1- 1/2 lb link)
Smoked Baby Backs (deboned) (half rack)
Smoked Irish Gouda Cheese
Homemade pork breakfast sausage (4lb.)
All wrapped up in home cured and smoked bacon (1.5 lb.)

First step, flattening out 4 lbs. in a giant ziplock bag:

Getting it on the parchment paper which was very difficult:

And now adding all the ingredients:

Not sure why I double posted some pics...Sorry about that.

Very gingerly formed it into a loaf, wapped it in saran wrap and stuck it in the freezer to firm up a bit:

So the bacon wrap is next. Actually a bacon drape since I don't like the flobbity under pieces in the traditional weave.

26 inch Weber Kettle set to run at about 300 with some chunks of hickory and cherry added through the cook:

This sheer size of this monster is keeping it warm forever! I wanted to slice it so bad but I don't want all the goodness to ooze out!
 
Jeepers man you got to call that the kitchen sink FATTY, and you have way more patience than me :-D
 
Oh no! I have exceeded my quota for photos! What can I do to remedy this? I see duplicated photos in one of the posts but can't figure out how to get rid of them.
 
Well here it is, all sliced open. I guess in my shaping it in to a loaf, the sausage got off center. Hahaha tried a piece and its pretty damn good. You can taste each ingredient separately if you eat it just so. Not sure if I am going to use one of these for the throwdown entry as I plan to take more pics.
