A Lake Fatty




Made one of these while camping this spring and it turned out so tasty I had to do it again on my last trip to the lake!
Just my favorite breakfast fatty. I make these a lot at home but just discovered how good they taste when camping.
Made my stuffing, fried tatoes, onions, peppers, ham and cheese...



Used my stainless fatty piston from good friend Rolf in Germany. Rolf if you happen to see this, thanks again!! I'm getting a lot of good use out of this piston, I love it! :)









I made this the day before, wrapped and let it sit in the ice chest overnight.
Then started a few coals in the little cooker.  I spread them around the edges and put a drip pan in the center underneath the fatty.





I hung out and fished while the thing cooked...



I had a fire going in the tractor rim already for a venison shoulder, so I made my hollandaise, fried some eggs in butter and toasted the english muffins...



The fatty was cooked but the bacon wasn't as crispy as I like it...



So out came the weed burner....again.



Didn't take long at all to crisp things up...



The fried tater, ham, onion, pepper, cheese fatty....







Breakfast!!



I scooched my chair out by the water to watch the morning traffic..





I know I make these often but they have got to be my all time favorite breakfast fatties. Eating them beside the lake seemed to make them taste even better.
I think I just need to buy a house by a lake... I'd never go inside. lol

Voss Soss BBQ Sauce

I wanted to give folks a heads up about friend Matt Voss' BBQ sauce, Voss Soss.
Matt is a good friend and "almost" a neighbor ( he lives south of me in Wichita Falls Texas).
He's a hard working single dad and an outstanding BBQer.... He knows his stuff.

I've seen folks use the kickstarter program to get their businesses started, I'm not totally familiar how they work but Matt has a page set up that will tell you more about him and his products...
Voss Soss 

If you get the time, please check out Matt's venture and feel free to help him reach his goal if you feel the urge to do so. He's a great guy and I wish him the best of luck!

Thanks everybody!

Venison Shoulder on the Tractor Tire Rim




This was from my last camp trip. I took a venison shoulder from the white tailed doe taken last rifle season. I like to cook venison shoulders whole, it takes so much time to whittle around the silver skin on a shoulder this is a quick, easy way to cook it. I used to grind the shoulders for burger/sausage but this is my favorite way to cook one.
Also, it smells SO good while slow roasting over the fire. :)

I marinaded the shoulder in Alegro game marinade. Then gave it a sprinkle of Dinks Udder Madness dry rub...



Had the fire going in the tractor rim for breakfast so I just added a small log and set the venison on the low heat side of the fire...


I let the shoulder slow roast all day, rotating and flipping the meat every so often and adding another log to the fire when needed...



I basted the venison with a kicked up beef stock. ( garlic, onion, worst., cayenne)




Did some fishin'...



I watched for the pullback on the bone that I wanted...



added a skillet of peppers and onions...



heated a few tortillas...
and called er good.









Tried out some moonshine hot sauce that my big brother sent to me. :)



this was self serve... grabbed a hot tortilla, topped with slices of venison, the onions and peppers....then a splash of hot sauce and ended with fresh pico...



It was simple but tasty. The shoulder slow cooked over the fire for 8 hours. The meat was smokey, tender and pink in the center... just how I like venison.
After dinner, I carved the remaining meat from the bone, bagged and saved it for future meals.


Just got back from a week in Texas. Really had a nice time visiting friends and family. Had a few late night sessions but it was a lot of fun catching up on what's going on in everyone's life. :)
