I am planning on making some hot dogs later this week (Probably tuesday or wednesday) and I have a few questions.
First and foremost: I need a recipe, I want one thats pork and beef (I like the flavor more) and anything else is fine as long as its got a good hot doggy flavor
Second is about the grind. I would love to emulsify my dogs but I understand that its a more advanced technique and was wondering if I could get away with a double grind on a fine plate?
Third is Dry time. I would probably have plenty of time getting the dogs together but not enough time to smoke right away, I work for 3 hours in the afternoon. Would it be okay to let the dogs (in the casing) "hang out" while I worked and then came back to smoke em?
Fourth is about the casing. I love a wonderful snappy natural casing, any suggestions for making sure it gets that way?
Thanks guys, you're always so helpful!
PS. I found this recipe http://www.wedlinydomowe.com/sausage-recipes/wiener From doing a search, seems good?
