McLovin My FEC-100
As usual, I volunteered to cook BBQ for a crowd. Some things never change.
Today my department is having a holiday party, combined with a birthday party, for a couple of people. We’ll have biscuits and fatties for breakfast. The reaction you get when someone hears “fatty” for the first time is priceless. They just can’t imagine what you are talking about and just have to ask. When I mentioned my breakfast idea, I put out a reward (a bottle of Blues Hog sauce) for the first person who could tell me what a fatty was. A couple hours later, I had an answer. Brisket, pulled pork, baby back ribs, cheesy potatoes, and green beans for lunch. Hopefully someone remembered to get a cake. The picture above is what the baby back ribs and pork butts looked like before I wrapped them in foil to finsh. The cherry pellets make a nice color. I can tell you that the smell was fantastic.
We have a few folks in the office who don’t eat pork: Kosher, Muslim, or allergies. I didn’t want them to be left out on the fatties, so I’m trying a Honeysuckle Turkey Sausage. Straight from the package, it wasn’t as firm as a normal pork sausage. I like to use Jimmy Dean Regular or Hot, so for the Turkey Sausage, I’m curious to see how it turns out. I’m hopeful that it sets up like a pork sausage would and isn’t mushy.
I’m using the FEC-100 for the first time in about a month. That is one excellent cooker. It was 30 degrees when I went to bed last night. The insulated FEC-100 chugged along wonderfully, and everything was as I would have expected several hours later. I sure love that cooker.
