Decided to smoke a couple fatties. One I used sausage, and the other I used ground beef and made it into a bacon cheeseburger. Sorry for the GIANT pictures. I'm not nearly smart enough to know how to make them smaller. Oh well...
This is one of the bacon weaves I used to wrap them in. I sprinkled some of my homemade rub on it, but it's not on this picture yet.
The one on the left is the sausage. I put some homemade BBQ sauce on it, then pepperjack cheese and some chopped onion and mushrooms. The other is hamburger with the sauce, American cheese, chopped onion and mushroom. Both also have some crispy fried bacon bits. I put 1lb of meat into a 1gal Ziploc bag, pressed it out flat to all sides of the bag to make the meat flat and a uniform size, then cut the sides of the bag and bottom of the bag to remove it. This also made it the same size as the bacon weave.
I rolled them both up, then rolled them into the bacon weaves. I then put a thin coat of my BBQ sauce on them, and another sprinkle of my rub.
I smoked them at 240 degrees with apple wood until they were 165 internal temp. Appx 2 1/2 hrs. We cut up the one on the left (bacon cheeseburger) and ate it on buns like a regular burger. The sausage one, just cut into slices and ate it like that. Both turned out very good.
