Superbowl Pork Feast with Q-view

[tom in nc]

Had to do something for the Superbowl. Thought ribs would be a given. Bought 4.5 lbs of baby backs, rubbed them with yellow mustard and Bad Byron's butt rub. Smoked them for 1.5 hrs, then foiled for 1.5 hrs, then unfoiled and covered in sauce.

Tried a couple of new "mini" fatties. Made then a bit smaller so if they sucked I wouldn't be throwing out a whole bunch of meat. Needless to say, I will be making the full size version of these soon.

First was a turkey ruben fatty. I mixed 5 ounces of ground turkey with the meat from a fresh brautwurst. I rolled it thin then laid in swiss cheese, thinly sliced roast turkey breast, thousand island salad dressing, sauerkraut, and more swiss cheese. Then I rolled it up and wrapped it in bacon.

Second was a spagetti and meat sauce fatty. I rolled out 0.75 lbs of hot country sausage. Laid in a bit if cooked spagetti, covered it in meat sauce, then spread some shredded parmesean cheese, rolled it, and covered it in bacon.

Me and the Mrs. are stuffed. It was awesome! On to the Q-View...

Thanks. The turkey ruben fatty was good but next time I'm going to use turkey sausage instead of ground turkey. The ribs were pretty good but I think I took them off a bit too soon. They weren't "fall of the bone" tender as my wife like them. Probably could have sprayed them with the apple juice/water mixture a few more times than I did. I'm a bit over critical of my smoking - overall I was pretty pleased. The spagetti fatty was awesome! I will be doing a full size fatty following that recipe. The hot sausage was key to that one.
