Found some matches.
Hi all
I more or less followed the suggestions found in this forum for making a fatty. I used Bob Evans Italian, chopped sweet peppers, chopped onions, Italian 5-cheese shredded cheese, and thick sliced bacon. Here are some observations:
1. I didn't have any large freezer bags to roller out the sausage in so I just used a plastic bag that groceries had come in which worked pretty good other than I had to work a little at making the finished product square.
2. I should of started with my sausage a little colder. It became hard to roll up because of its' temperature.
3. The peppers are way more flavorful than I thought they would be.
4. My house guests saw it before it went on the grill and started referring to it as "the fat ball" however when we got ready to serve it my brother-in-law asked it I had any gravy for it. lol
5. It's way bigger before it goes on the grill than it is after it comes off. I had rendered out a whole bunch of the fat.
6. I had never weaved bacon before. Easy.
7. My Holland has been modified for more heat output (see http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=196432) and got a little hotter than I had intended for it to get during this roast (I was distracted) plus my timing was off on the homemade bread I had in the oven so my fatty got a littler darker than it should have. After I caught it at 475, I turned it down and kept it under 400 for the rest of the time.
8. It was delicious and between the four of us we pretty much decimated it.
Happy labor day everyone.
