Busy Sausage Weekend with QView

It was time to refill the freezer.

This was a bunch of firsts for me this weekend.

10 lbs of loose ground breakfast sausage using a Lem Kit.  Delicious. No Photo. 

3lb of Hi Mountain Snack sticks.  My wife's request.  These were very good.  They and other flavors will likely be a regular for her.



A corned beef smoked into pastrami. Coated with ground pickling spice and cracked black pepper.



7 1/2lb of Jalepeno Sausages.  

Sorry, Not many true measurements.

1 TB Guadillo Pepper (spelling is close.)

1 TB Cayenne Pepper

1 Head of Garlic

some Basil, Sage and Oregano.

about 15 pickled Jalapeno slices

1oz of balsamic vinegar

6 oz of Ice Water.

They tasted great but didn't give me the heat I was hoping for, but I forgot paprika.  Next time more pepper, add the paprika and I will also add some juice from the Jalapeno jar to replace some of the water.  I have used the jalapeno pickle juice before and it adds a nice touch.



All of these were smoked with with cherry chips in my MES 40.  My first cherry smoke. It turns out I love it for Pastrami and Sausage.
