If I didn't have to tear into the pickup in the morning to replace the clutch, I would come down and help ya finish the leftovers.

What a fantastic looking spread!!!!!

[k.a.m.]

Frank, you nailed that cook everything looks delicious the ribs have some beautiful color. Nicely done.

OK, I have to ask a question here, just what is a fattie? Oh, and Frank, that looks like an awesome spread of food there. Great job! Today, it is after midnight, I will be cooking for family and friends. I have a pork butt and 6 racks of ribs that are having a party in fridge getting ready for the smoker.

Thanks KAM!
Thanks pops! Here is a link to jams version of a fattie. They don't take long to cook. Usually 1-1/2 hours or so at 225.

It was my first time using mesquite in the big smoker. I was using a 30% mix of mesquite to 70% oak. I really liked the flavor of that mix. The mesquite does leave an intense flavor, but I liked it. Thin blue smoke was easy to maintain the whole day.

Well Frank, you talked about a link for a fattie recipe but I don't see anything not sure why I don't. Still don't know what a fattie is?

[Frank_Cox]

Sorry about that PoPs, I was being all silly and didn't even pay attention that Frank missed the link.

For future views, a fattie is the most awesome quick smoke food ever.
Its just a pound of so of ground meat smashed flat and square to about the size of a one gallon zip loc.

Put your fav fillings in the center and gently roll that sucker up. Wrap it in bacon and smoke it for a couple hours.

The fillings can be just anything you like. veggies, breakfast goods, burger stuff, just anything.

It comes pretty close to being a heart attack on a plate.

That just looks so awesome. I hope I can cook like that someday.

My first attempt at true BBQ was a dozen chicken thighs.
I ended up with 1 eatable thigh and 11 doggie treats.
Now I can eat the whole dozen - and I have the waistline to prove it!
