Its Lion trimmed nice & clean with a hunk of andouille shoved into the center then wrapped with sausage and a bacon weave.

Heres how I do it.

First I cut the lion to the length I need, cut the dark meat off and trim the fat & silverskin off.


Then I use a long slender bladed knife to cut directly through the center of the lion and insert the andouille.




I used about 1 1/2 lb. of sausage to wrap this one. Put the sausage between two sheets of plastic wrap and rolled it out with a rolling pin.


Cover the Lion with the sausage.




Make the Bacon weave.


I rolled the log over the bacon.






On the Kettle at about 325*.




Added some stuff I made out of spare parts about an hour before my predicted finishing time.


Cruising!


I just figured out what that wire thingy on my kettle was for. Those guys at Weber sure know how to build a grill.


That'll work.




The sausage held alot of liquid in. It went all over when I cut it open.






Thanks for lookin.

Maybe the saying should be "hogs are proff God loves us and wants us to be happy"! Good looking food, I've never taken it past the stuffed sausage link stage before.

 Nice Meat Packet ya got there, HFG !!!

I'm wondering if the "juice out" pic might be what the loin dumped during the cooking ?
...........they're known offenders when it comes to juicing out during the cook !!!!!

& ya did such a grate , tight wrap job that it held in all the meaty juices 'till the end !!!!

I think you've done that before! It looks really good.

What was the time/temp profile for the cook?

Buckie It must have been from the lion and the andouille.



Hank I cooked it around 325* for an undetermined amount of time. When I started the cook the kettle was way to hot and I smothered it and walked away and it went way to cold so it took a while for it to settle in while I multi tasked. In all it was about 2 hours.
