Well I fired up my new ECB on Saturday. Everything turned out real nice.
I decided that I would make up a fatty and some ABT's for my first run on the smoker. For the fatty I used a pound of Italian sausage and a pound of regular breakfast sausage. I combined the two, mashed out flat and added sharp cheddar, green pepper and onion. Rolled her up and smoked it with mesquite.
While the fatty was a smokin. I threw together some ABT's. Halved the peppers and stuffed with a mixture of creme cheese, onion powder, garlic salt, cumin, paprika, and some ground black pepper. Wrapped in bacon and smoked with mesquite as well.
Now the wife said that the fatty was good, but she was not too happy that I was smoking a 2lb chunk of sausage filled with cheese (for obvious reasons). She did like the taste though and she throughly enjoyed the ABT's.
What did I learn?
Well, for one... a fatty is a while hell of a lot harder to roll then I imagined. Also, I don't like them. I found that I just don't care for a loaf of sausage. Breakfast sausage patties... ok.
Also, I don't know that I care for mesquite flavor. I plan on doing a chicken in apple wood.
Next on the hit list is a chicken.
