Got a fire going inside the new smoker at about noon today and after about 8 hrs of spraying the insides with veggie oil I threw on the first fatty. It's starting to smell wonderful in my neighborhood!!!
The fatty in the pic was just a basic original...bacon, pork sausage, cheddar cheese, and sweet baby ray's...The one I made this morning for breakfast had all the same ingredients, but the addition of a broccoli and onion omelet.
The only disappointment with the smoker is the temp guages I bought from Home Depot are JUNK...So I ordered 3 therms from Tel-Tru.
And a friend on facebook sent me this pic of a "Redneck Turtle Fatty" that I am going to HAVE to try!!
Oh damn, I feel clogged arteries starting to form just looking at those!
So I swap out italian sausage for the filler and smoked sausage for the weenies and make the cheese optional (some of the cheese). Now that's healthy enough to justify trying a few right? If I stop posting, you'll know I reached my Que limit! But it's been a good ride
If it can't be smoked .... try frying it. It that don't work, it's probably best just left alone
Here's a pic of me on July 4th getting ready to unveil the new smoker at the weekly car show at my church:
And here is what 157 lbs of pork butts look like that I cooked on the 4th before the car show:
It was a slow car show due to a combination of mid 90's heat and it being a holiday, but this coming Wednesday should be a packed parking lot with temperatures expected in the low 80's.
