I tried my first fatty over the weekend. I put a brisket on about 10:30pm Saturday night, and then started to prepare a breakfast fatty for the morning.
I used two 1lb sausage chubs, one hot and one mild. Mixed those together and rolled them out. I then scrambled five eggs, some O'Brien potatoes, and some shredded cheese.
I don't know if the sausage was not cold enough or if I rolled it too thin or if I had too much filling, but when I tried to roll it, it exploded. The sausage fell apart and I ended up with a big mess.
I decided to try to salvage as much of the filling as I could and put it in a bowl. I then wrapped the sausage in saran wrap and put it in the fridge. In the morning, I rolled the sausage out again, and then put the filling inside. This time it rolled up fine, even though there was some of the filling on the outside from the first time I rolled it. Put it on the smoker and it got to 160* after about two hours. I wrapped it in foil and a towel for about 15 minutes, then sliced it. It was really good, but my wife and I were both wishing there was more filling. It was a lot of sausage and not much filling.
But for my first time, it was a mild success. I was able to salvage it after failing big time when I first tried to roll it, and it was very tasty. I just have some ideas to make it better next time.
