Latest experiment on the smoker

[Pat Kelly]

Sunday I decided to try something new on the smoker I picked up in March.

So here is the latest.


But before I start I must warn you.
A Pig somewhere gave its life for this.

I started out with a pound of mild jimmy dean sausage.

I rolled it out.

Next I added some peperoni, honey ham, chopped tomatoes and cheddar cheese.

Next I rolled it up and put in the fridge while I moved to the next step.

I broke out the bacon. Hmm 2 pounds of it.

I then wrapped the meat in the bacon.
This is my first time at weaving bacon.
Not too bad.

I put it on my smoker for 3 hours. I also put some ribs on just in case this thing was a disaster.

When I pulled it off, it looked like this.
My wrap came apart on the bottom.

Sliced

Thankfully you added cheese and tomato--to cover some other foods groups.

Porkapalooza indeed!

Looks delicious, Pat.

Maybe it could be on the menu at the CCA BBQ?

Oh man, I just finished eating but that just made my mouth water! +1 for bringing to picnic (a new one, not that one).

Looks Beautiful, Pat! How was it?

Bruce made something similar a while back - called Bacon Explosion (recipe here: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1012657-bacon-explosion) and it was quite good but a bit too strongly flavored for my taste. It came out with a very heavy smoke flavor...probably a combination of the bacon, BBQ sauce, and smoker. One he sliced it, I think the entire loaf lasted just long enough for most people to grab a taste.

These are called a big fatty on http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/f/175/fatties

Lots of types. People do breakfast ones as well.

I think it came out great. Tracey liked it.

I did not put any BBQ on it for this time. I also used breakfast sausage where some people use an Italian or hot sausage. I think that made a difference too.

I'm going to try it on a hamburger roll tonight. Maybe add some bbq then.
I have been making my own bbq sauce recently too. lol

 

[Pat Kelly]

yum. One slice with a Martins potato roll. Nothing on it. Came out good.

 

[Pat Kelly]

Yes I said 1. Decided I needed to have a salad with dinner. Lol

I think I had four heart attacks looking at that.
