I just learned of these things called fatties, and already I'm HOOKED. I can't wait for next weekend to try one out.....but knowing my Sons, I might have to make 2. hahaha
Let us know how yours turns out, and post some pix if possible.
Good eatin'.

That's a full plate right there, get some qview going, and show the results

 

[rbranstner]

You and your sons are going to eat these things up in no time!! Better make 4 to be on the safe side.

 

[violator]

Prolly a GOOD idea.
I already had Nate come in here to see the pix. He just said "GGGGRRRROOOOOWWWWLLLLL"

Well fella's i don't have a photobucket set up yet so sorry no q-view but i'll get that going in the future. at first i couldn't figure out which i liked better!!! those abt's are amazing!!! never been much a jalopeno fan but those things are the bomb!!! that fatty was awsome too but gonne play with that one till i get a favorite recipe goin on , but nonetheless both were great!!! i had 4 abt's and so did the wife! she's my biggest critic and loved them both also. So now i got the ribs still goin for dinner , still lookin for my favorite recipe for them. I got meatheads memphis dust on them and gonna just try plain old open pit on them for a change. still looking for a great bbq sauce recipe!! if my dr. saw the way i'm eating today he'd be running for the dephibrilator!!!

Oh yea those ABT's are the bomb for sure. You can't go wrong with those! Sounds like you have a lot of good Q coming out of your smoker. Job well done.

Sounds good. Just remember - if you are cooking one fatty, you may as well make another, cause you are going to want it... and sine you are already spending the time and the fuel - well, why not?

Violator - no reason to wait till next weekend - the beauty of the fatty is that they only take about 1.5 hours to cook.... sounds like dinner to me!

 

[gadgetguy]

yeah that sucker cooked fast as did the abt's

Ellymae's right and what's wrong with leftovers? The Fattie's only limitation is your imagination.

Well,....um, er, uh........well, I broke a Cardinal rule for smokers today.....I uh,.....well I ran out of wood chip, alright...There I said it. I'm NOT proud of it, but it's true.
'sides, my youngest Son would KILL me, knowing I smoked some cabbage and then made one of these "fatties".....I sent him a photo of one (photo provided by one of you guys - Thanx) and he approves. He is 19 and eats like 4 regular people (and still stays thin)(oh to be young again).
