Duelling Dirty Smoke Fattys

KevinG · July 31, 2010, 01:37:48 PM

Couldn't decide on whether I should do a pork or beef fatty, so I went ahead and did both. Can you guess the wood?

Heres the porker getting started with a bacon weave and some Ribit Rib Rub.

I added some onions, garlic, bacon, green pepper, jalapeno, and cheddar cheese, then topped it off with more rub.

Added some BBQ sauce.

Pork fatty rolled and ready.

The beef fatty bacon weave topped with some Pitts and Spitts Mesquite.

Mixed in some Lawrys burrito mix and did some onions, green pepper, bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic and topped with cheddar.

Side by side ready to smoke. I had a little problem with the bacon weave, the cuts were pretty bad, most of them split while rapping, so I had to re-shape.

Here they are in smoke.

Let the feud begin.

The completed Pork Fatty.

The completed Beef Fatty.

After tasting both, I have no favorite, they are both awesome.

Who wouldn't want to get caught between two fatties?

Looks amazing. Pork will always win in my eyes because....well, it's pork, and I'm about as pork-centric as they come. I use Uncle Pigfat as my internet handle for a reason :) What kind of IT did you finish with? I usually cook mine until 160.

Ohhhh yeaaaaaaaaaah...
Now, you need some of CRG's bread - cut 3 ways (like a Big Mac)
Do a beef slice on one layer, and a pork on the other!
KEV MAC! I'm Lovin' it!

I went with 165, but I did notice a little problem and had to re-heat. Apparently the upper layer didn't quite cook all the way in some spots. No problem, I caught it in plenty of time and re-heated so it was cooked all the way through and it still came out awesome.

There ya go, except I think I'm the only one on the forum who didn't get some of that funky white juice. I'd probably kill it in a week, but it's all good cause I make a pretty mean homemade bread myself. Even got my brother to eat it on his no carb diet.

I don't know what's going on with that first picture, it looked fine on my computer, fine in photobucket, but when I paste it in here it comes out blurry. In case you're wondering, it looks just like the bacon weave for the beef except a redder rub is on it.

Those both look TASTY.

Dang nice!

If I would known you were gonna smoke "TWO" things,

I would have sent you one of my extra probe hangers. ;D

Heck, I had more wires going in that thing than I ever had. I put both my ET-7 and my ET-73 in there, 4 wires running down there, and I still didn't manage to get the probes in the right place. :-\

What ever you had to fix, you fixed it good.

Looks GREAT!

Both those fatties look pretty good to me Kevin.

Awesome.

Kevin,

What temp did you cook at and about how long did it take for the beef fatty and to what IT did you take it to. I'm putting one together in a little while for dinner tonight. Thanks!

Bacon wrapped burrito fatty... Oh yeah!

I set the smoker for 250 and started at 10:15, I pulled them at 2:00 but after cutting them open saw some pink and stuck it back in my regular oven for at 350 for 20 minutes, IT I was shooting for was 165 both times.
