.."I just rolled a fattie in the privacy of my home and am now going to smoke it in full view of my neighbors here on my side porch!!!" ;D ::)
...America...what a country!!!  :) :) :)

I rolled an Italian fattie for dinner with Kraft macaroni and cheese on the side.  I used Bob Evans bulk Italian sausage, hard salami, mozzarella cheese, sauteed onions and peppers, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and Mrs. Dash's spicy seasoning.  Made a passable bacon weave.  I took pictures after the smoke and after the cutting.  Now just have to figure out how to download them from the card in my sister's camera to my computer.  I smoked it for 2 hours at 250 degrees.  Had an IT of 165.  I loaded the tube with 2 hickory, 1 apple, 2 hickory and 1 apple pucks.  After the last puck finished, I gave it a few extra minutes to crisp the bacon.  I could only stand a 10 minute rest then had to carve into it.  I ate 2 thick slices and was very pleased with the way it turned out. 

If asked by my friends at the K of C, I will stand proudly and answer "Yes, I am a fattie roller and bacon weaver!"  LOL

Lumpy.............according to my Doctor, I joined that years ago............ ;D

You don't realize how much work is involved in making a fattie.............but oh so worth it!!!

FYI:  If you can't find a rolling pin or thick dowel to roll out the sausage meat in the gallon Ziplock bag...grab a 2 liter bottle and fill it with COLD water and roll with it.....then say in your best Erkle voice..."Did I do that?

Cutting the remainder up and re-heating them in the frying pan for dinner.  Last night I caught myself pulling the bacon off and sitting it to the side.  When I had finished everything else...I sat there popping that smokey crispy bacon in my mouth piece by piece.  ::)

I understand completely wait until you make your own bacon and try that. I could sit and eat smoked bacon with rub on it until my heart just exploded.

Now that sounds like a fattie to be proud of, yea they are a little work but sooooo worth it.

They make great sandwich's also, hot or cold

I just remembered something I wanted to say.  Last night, my sister finished her plate and said "Wow, I'm full!"  She took her plate into the kitchen and returned eating some in her hand.  I asked her what she was eating, she said "I got another half a piece."  I told her that I was glad she was full or she would have gotten a whole piece!  Remember to take your family and friends compliments where you find them!!!

Finished it last night........YUMM!!!

While getting some veggies out of the freezer, I found a block of forgotten and lonely scrapple* and now due to some evil demented person here  ;D...I have visions of a bacon weave wrapped scrapple block in my OBS as soon as I work out the best way to not have a MESS when I open the door.  I already know that I will use alternating hickory and apple pucks and an IT of 165 (unless advised differently).  Open to suggestion on time and box temp from you "closet scrapple smokers." LOL

* Of course my scrapple talks to me...especially AFTER I eat it...... ::) ;D ::)

Ok, I give up what the heck is "scrapple"?

Ground up pork, cornmeal and spices.  Look in your grocery store next to the bacon.  Rappa brand is the biggest seller here in Maryland.
A lot of people make their own...especially in Pennsylvania.

Thanks Ray.
Im always looking for something new to smoke
I will take a closer look but i pretty much have the meat department memorised and dont recall ever seeing it. Maybe its a regional thing as im in Nebraska

[squirtthecat]

Never seen it here in Central IL, either..   Sounds interesting.
