Sounds like something is surpressed...

So 160 - 165 is the internal temp to look for?

I did one a few weeks back and just went off looks really. I figured when the bacon looked done, it was done, and that was fairly accurate.

I used a pound of mild italian, a pound of chorizo, mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano, sundried tomatoes, fresh basil, portobello mushrooms, and a smear or two of pesto. It was pretty freaking good, but I think I might could have gone for a little less time.

If you smoke 'em its 2.5 hours or so. In the oven 1.5 with another 10 min on broil to make the weave crispy. Although my fatties weren't as large.

I smoked it, and it was probably on for 4 hours or so at ~225. But as my good friend Smokin Gator says, the good thing about messing up is you get to eat the mistakes. Tweren't a bad mistake, either.

So has anyone used ground Beef instead of Sausage/Pork?

I've heard of someone using beef, making a grilled cheeseburger fattie.
I've also read about someone using Ground Turkey.....

I have. Sliced it and served it on buns like a cheeseburger.

I filled it with a lot of cheese, some onions and mushrooms and then wrapped in bacon like usual. It was a little crumbly (the beef was probably a little too lean), but it tasted great and my family really liked it.

That sounds like a damn good idea to me. Smoked bacon cheeseburger fatty!

Darrel and I did one, too. Used ground beef mixed with some bread crumbs, and, if I recall correctly, filled it with cheese, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and a little bbq sauce. Then wrapped it in turkey bacon so that our non-pork-eating friends could still get in on the fattie fun.

I like Pork as much as the next guy but the Beef fatty sounds more palatable for me.
The Pork fatties I've had have all been too salty for me,good but salty.
