How'd it turn out Scott?

 

[hillbillyrkstr]

Turned out pretty good. I'm gonna make a few weeks. Greg made a corned venison and cabbage fattie and it turned out pretty good as well.

Looks awesome Hillbilly ...

I cant find the throw down thread. So I hope everyone has a great time. Not a big smoking summer this year for me. Kind of weird one with all of the happenings in the family. Miss ya all. I'll be back soon I hope. Have a great time guy's. If anyone could hit me with the right link for the Fattie comp, I would appreciate it much....

You know rob Im not sure where it is, and it really went unnoticed by everyone I believe. Stan started it and I think it's under events instead of the msg section. No big deal. As of last night we had 7 confirmed fatties which beats the June smoke by one. We're hoping for a few more. Should be a good time hopefully some of the msg members can make it out. If not it'll be another fowlerville party!

Hey guys,  I don’t know what happened to the fattie post.

I guess it was deleted by someone!  The link does not work.  Gremlins I guess.  Here is the text of it.

Fattie contest at the way out ranch. (Fowlerville Michigan) Aug 15

At the last Michigan gathering we had a fattie contest and farmer Scott won.  Scott is not a member of the forum but made a wonderful fattie. 

RobbQ won the contest at last year’s get together.  We decided we needed to have another chance at great fattie fame so we are having a contest Aug 15 at Hillbillyrkstrs place. 

Everyone is welcome to join in.  There will be a lot of local talent there and I hope to see some SMF members come and represent the forum.

If you are interested please PM handymanstan or hillbillyrkstr  for directions.

We will smoke all the fatties together with the same smoke flavor so all will be equal.

Scott is planning to do some chicken and perhaps a turkey breast.  Anyone can bring a smoker and smoke anything you want.  

  We will make some sides as always and probably some abts as well. But people can and should bring some sides if they can.

BOYB   We will have chairs and tables and dinnerware.   Start time will be Noon.  We will shoot for dinner around 6:00PM so you will need to have your fattie here by 3:00PM

Todd at A-MAZE-N products sent us some prizes and we are planning a winners’ cup of some sort to be awarded to the winner and returned each year for the next winner.

This as all parties at rockstars will last late into the night with a big fire and too much drinking.  If you want to spend the night there is plenty of room to camp or you can crash in the pole barn.

Scott the Mexican fattie sounds good. 

Rob I hope things start getting better for you and we will see you at the next one. 

Kurt are you coming out for this one?

Seven fatties so far.  Sounds like a full smoker to me.  Next weekend so join if you can.

All outta turkeys Stan so I'll be doing some chicken quarters, some brats, and as always ABTs.

Nobody from the site is coming. In fact I'm changing it to the FSG because 95% of the people who attend are from fowlerville. Your grandfathered in Stan as an original member.

As of now I think we're around 7-8 fatties and it could go up a few. I haven't really counted the maybes.

Movies will be projected on the barn for the kids as well.

See you in a few days Stan!

Well change my maybe to a "YES" because I will be at the ranch, fatty in hand, ready to claim that first place prize!

Sorry for the late addition, but there was a chance work was going to send me to TX this week so I wasn't sure if I could make it. Thankfully that blew over, so I am cleared for smoking!

Do you have a list of the fatty's coming so I don't bring a duplicate? I'll probably bring a side too...homeade mac and cheese.

I am glad you can make it Kurt.  Your fattie can be the same as someone else but just needs to be over the top.  Good luck.

Scott,

Can we get all the fatties on one smoker?  Thanks for the grandfathering.  I am planing to bring some nuts for this one.  Are we going to burn a couch this smoke?

 

[hillbillyrkstr]

Awesome Kurt! Your fattie makes 9 entering now!!! That's the most fatties we've ever had. Hopefully we will get one or two more!

 

[hillbillyrkstr]

Fattie finals rules:

The judging will be blind.

All fatties must be turned in at 230. The smoking will start at 3.

You can only use 1 pound of ground meat in the actual fattie roll. (We want them to come in around the same size so they cook around the same time.)

All fatties must be wrapped in some sort of bacon. Could be turkey bacon, beef bacon, even Canadian bacon is legal but probably won't be to good.

Think that's about it.

 

[humdinger]

Scott do you have a smoker that will hold all those fatty's? If not I can bring my GOSM. It has more than enough room and will cook evenly, but it's bulky so I won't bring it unless I know you'll need it. Let me know. Thanks.

 

[hillbillyrkstr]

Humdinger I have no idea what a GOSM is.... Lol

You know I have an mes 40, a side fire box chargriller, but I'm gonna be smoking ABTs and chicken quarters. If it can do the job we might need it. What kind of smoker is it?

It's the big one shown below in my signature block where it says "My smokers", it looks like a gunsafe. I'll get it all ready and bring it along. I'm sure we'll use it.

Probably gonna need that smoker humdinger. Thanks for the offer.

This is going to smoke the last fattie contest! No pun intended.

 

[hillbillyrkstr]

The 2016 fattie finals contest will be July 23rd in fowlerville. Stan if you want to make a new post for this feel free. with a few exceptions the MMG doesn't really turn out for this contest so I'm not expecting much. Dinger you in on this one? Hoping to get 20+ fatties entered this year.

I've locked it in the calendar and there's nothing else going on with us that time of year, so I plan on attending. I'll bring my brother and Dave too (if they're not busy).

When you say "Fowlerville", I assume you are referring to your place off of Sober Rd. (LOL I still love that), and not Cam's place, correct?

 

[hillbillyrkstr]

Yes sir my place it is. I don't think cam is doing one this year again. He has his sons grad party.
