I am going to cook my first fatty (2 lbs). I assume indirect, 250 dome temp, until 160 internal temp. Should I place it on a piece of aluminum foil? I would appreciate any tips or suggestions from fatty pros.

    I am certainly no pro but I have cooked a few fatties that came out well. It sounds like you are on the right track with yours. I would add some smoke and I don't put them on foil. It's good to be able to roll them over on the grill.
    Here's a couple I did over a Corned Beef Brisket.

    I used thirdeye's recipe on his site. just put a drip pan under it. What are you using for stuffing. You will really like this, never thought sausage could taste so good.

    good luck

    I do mine indirect with platesetter legs up, fatty on main grid. 165 internal. Sprinkle DP ragin river.
    Fatty's are the easiest slow cook and results in high levels of yumminess. ;)

    All I had available was onions, red peppers, and mozzarella cheese. Fatty is now off the grill and waiting to get into my stomach. Thanks for all the replies.
