How to make a “Fatty”
Mike ‘Pit Pirate’ Hedrick shows you how he makes a fatty.
Mike is one of our favorite outdoor cooks and the first ‘Guest Chef’ here at Sizzle on the Grill. You can read the profiles of all our guest chefs by clicking on the link at the top of this page Writers & Chefs. One of Mike’s calling cards is as the national spokesperson for “BBQ for our Troops” and another is being the Pit Boss of Pit Crew BBQ. But his original calling is as an accomplished competition BBQ contest team captain.
Mike is creative, fun-loving and enjoys cooking tasty food for folks. I just about always learn something from his examples and mostly I just get a kick out of watching him get all excited about cooking. Take a look at this video he made for his weekly online show called “Getcha Goin” to show you how he takes a basic recipe idea for a ‘Fatty’ and plays with it to make it his own. Don’t be intimidated because Mike is using his big catering and competition smoker rig for this cook. You can do this recipe on your gas or charcoal grill, smoker or other outdoor cooker.
Cooking instructions:
“The fatty with corned-beef hash and the cheese-stuffed egg was using meat or ’stuffing’ that was already cooked, so I just need to re-heat that part but cook the bacon warp until is was all crisp. The “All Fowl Fatty” was using raw un-cooked meat so it needed to cook long enough for the chicken to reach the proper internal temperature. The USDA suggests that 165F degrees internal temp is good for poultry. The temperature inside the smoker was at 275F – 300F degrees.” ~Mike
