If you have never made one of these, I reccomend them
this was my first attempt and it turned out great!

1.weave some thick cut bacon into a mat, i used "Wright Brand" Bacon. 6 slice x 6 slice pattern
2.season the bacon with Pork Rub, i used www.texasrimfirebrand.com
3.take some pork sausage, I used Kroger brand mild (1 small package) and spread it out on the seasoned bacon
4. crumble up about 7-8 pieces of cooked bacon and spread on the sausage.
5. season the bacon/suasage with BBQ suace (i used sweet baby ray's original) and some more pork rub
6. roll it up and season the outside with pork rub.
7. smoke over low hickory heat at 220 degrees untill internal tremp is about 160-165.
8. baste with BBQ suace when almost finished.
9. cut into pinwheels and enjoy with a Biscuit!

I've heard about this but never saw or tasted. It looks great, like a once-a-year kinda treat.

How many hours in your smoker to get it done?

WOW! skipped a beat there- looks DA-licious
I guess that is one we don't want to cook under the awning

4-5 hours I would say depending on how warm your smoker is. I put thin on the pit just before 2 and took it off just after 6. about 4.5 hours on this first try.

I would not reccomend putting this over any direct heat source with a awning above it! Low and Slow Coooking on this one!

Danielflading,
Well, my heart doctor is not going to like this meal. I had to go and get the stuff(as I was at lunch anyway) today.
I will be smoking one of these Thursday for the camping on Friday. I will enjoy this on Friday night after we set up. I had seen this before and resisted then, but not this time.
From the weak one.

As Nike Once Said: Just Do It! I have a friend that makes them while camping and serves it for breakfast with eggs and biscuits minus the last basting of sauce.

I have also resisted making this in the past, but I had to give a try. My wife said for me to call ahead to ER and reserve a bed! This is really a good thing, I will be making them for special times from now on!

cooked bacon wrapped in Pork and then wrapped in Bacon again, Bacon Nivana!
