One of the most simple and effortless things to BBQ in your smoker is the classic fatty (also spelled fattie). These little gems are guaranteed to make you a couple of new friends, as long as you are willing to share. And why not? We all know that BBQ is all about sharing… and, of course, deliciousness.
There are many variations to this wonderful little creation. One of them actually made national headline news back in January as the Bacon Explosion. This simple fatty requires a little less effort to make and there isn’t any weaving involved.

Smoking a fatty is simple and delicious. You can easily make several… up to as many as your pit will hold. If you have your sausage didn’t come in a log form, simply roll it into one. Many people like to flatten their fatty and add fillings like cheese, jalapeños, or any other tasty filling.
