It looks good so far Nepas! I add some jalapenos to the andouilli recipe I have. It kicks it up a notch.

Nice Job! I have never had gator before, I bet that sausage would be really good in some duck gumbo!

Getting happy smoke.

oh man, looks great. I love me some andouille....let the good times roll

BGKYSmoker · Dec 6, 2011

IT of Andouille is 150.3. Smoker is off so let the links hang there to IT and cool down.

BGKYSmoker · Dec 6, 2011

Got the Andouille cut to links and a $ shot

The lighter chunks are the gator

Tie em together for easy vac sealing later.

Paper bag in fridge for a day or so to firm em up and come together.

Looks great as always Rick!

Looks good. Doesn't Andouille have bigger chunks in it? Or is it more about the seasonings? Of course I may not know what I'm talking about.

Yeah normally it do.

Only used a pound, next time will do 2 lbs

How did you like the spice place? They say they get pretty busy this time of year and are low om allot of things.

alelover · Dec 7, 2011

I have never seen more spices in one place ever. They got all kinds of stuff I never even heard of. Cool place. Nice folks too.

great job nepas, i have never tried gator but hear its similar to chicken, is it lean and dry??? would U share the ratio of pork to gator????? none the less, excellent

BGKYSmoker · Dec 9, 2011

Got the gator andouille all vac sealed and ready to go.

SCULLY

It is lean and can be dry if not done right. It dont taste like chicken, taste like gator...LOL

I ground 1 lb of gator, cut in with 3 lbs of lean ground pork and 1 lbs of pork fat. Or uncured & non smoked belly

africanmeat · Dec 10, 2011

This is vary interesting a mix of gator and pork .

i thought it go's together only when the piggy is inside the gator
