Fatties

[bigcatdaddy]

Well, I'm getting ready to try my first fatty.  I've read a few post on them with some pics and they look great.  From what I've read  it looks like you can put whatever you want in them and just let'em go.  I was wondering about cabinet temps and IT.  I plan on a long weekend of smoking.  Doing some ABT's, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms along with some Pork Tenderloins and maybe a Chicken or 2.  Any help on the fatty temps would be greatly appreciated.  I get some pics so everyone can enjoy it as much as I do.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum,
The King of Fattys is NePas.  He generally smokes them for an hour at 190 and then continue the heat at 225 until the internal temp is 160.

Have a great smoking weekend and let us know the results,

KY is spot-on.  Nepas is thr Fatty King.  Be sure to use something like powdered milk to prevent shrinkage.  Good luck!

All hail the King!!!  ;D He does know his Fatty's and then some!  ;) Nepas is man in the Fatty circuit. Got me hooked on them.  :P

Ut Oh!!!  Powdered Milk?????

[KyNola]

CatDaddy,
Powdered milk is not a necessity but can be used as the Duckster said to avoid some shrinkage.  I personally have never used it when I make fatties.  If you don't have it, don't sweat it.

Have a great time,

Sorry, BCD.  KY is correct.......not necessary, but it does help with shrinkage.  I've done them both ways and like the powdered milk's effect on the fatties but PM is certainly not necessary.

Didn't mean to freak you out  :D

SD,

Had me shakin fer a second.  Thought I missed something somewhere.  I never knew that about the PM.  Nothing wrong with getting help in the shrinkage area. ;)

Buck36, I don't think powdered milk will help with that kind of shrinkage.  ;D ;D ;D
