Modifying a recipe for smoking?
Ah thank you, I actually got my recipe from that thread, the 3rd link down (since I’m new I cant say links in my posts or else they don’t get posted). As for Cure #1 I would use it but I haven’t found it locally and cant justify paying the shipping on it yet. So if I understand correctly, all I... -

First try at summer sausage... what did I do wrong?
I don't have a smoker yet but wanted to take a try at some summer sausage so I used this recipe http://southern.food.com/recipe/summer-sausage-15833 except for instead of putting bare logs in the oven, I stuffed them into hog casings. 8 hours at 150 and then 1 hour at 160, ice water for 10... -
