First of the month brings a new challenge and I have been thinking about this all of February. Today I got up early and got both the 23" set up for low and slow and then 32" up for a bake. I started out with some of my home made Hot Italian Sausage that I made late last year. I skinned them and got them ready for the fatty. This fatty was made from pork. after skinning them, I added sliced green olives to the meat and mixed it all up by hand Next step was to roll the meat out. Rather than making a total mess, I filled a freezer bag and rolled it out inside the bag. I then cut the sides of the bag open with a knife and prepared the stuffing for the fatty I started with some fresh made pizza sauce next I added some mozzarella cheese and pepperoni to the middle next I diced up some mushrooms and hot peppers using the cut freezer bag, I folded the roll and formed the edges to seal it all up now time for the bacon! I weaved the bacon for the outer layer I thought that an angled bacon wrap would look nicer for presentation. Man this looks good!!! Only one way to make this look better........ Lanes BBQ Rub Before: After: Onto the KK 23" it went at 250 degrees for 5 hours A final look before it hits the grill.... I used White Oak to give it more of a traditional pizza oven taste.... this was a good call for sure. It really added a great smoke profile to the meat this thing was smoked well and still super juicy on the inside I made some pizza dough yesterday in preparation of this cook. In my mind I thought about making this fatty like a calzone. I rolled the dough and encased the fatty inside of the pizza dough. The 32" KK was settled in at 550 degrees with the KK baking stone heat soaked for over 5 hours!!! Once all enclosed, I put this on the 32" KK for about 8 min. I pulled it off and placed it on a bakers rack to let it cool and not get soggy. The dough was nice and crispy all the way around Sliced it open to take a look at the inner working of this fatty....... You can see just how juicy it remained inside. It was incredibly delicious And finally sliced up for lunch!!
