I've been trying to read up on making pepperoni on this site ( and a huge shout out to all of you) for your knowledge. I'm wondering what would be the best way to do this with the equipment I have ( or if its even possible)

Currenlty have a GOSM propane smoker

Kitchenaid mixer with meat grinder and sausauge stuffer attachments.

Anyone have any tutorials that I can use ?

From what I've been reading

Find a reciepe or even a box mix product

80% beef 20% pork mix it all together, add to casings and throw in smoker, I'm just not sure on temps and times with a GOSM or if its even possible. So any advice would be welcomed

Thanks Winky
 
Pepperoni is a dry cured sausage which requires a dry curing chamber that regulates temp and humidity and the pepperoni is not cooked but fermented...you can make a summer sausage type of pepperoni but it will be pepperoni flavored summer sausage...
 
Sorry, but I'm not sure what your asking (I'm newbie) can you explain?

Thanks

Pepperoni can be fermented, dry cured and not cooked (which is how I make it), fermented, semi-dry cured and not cooked, fermented, semi-dry cured and cooked or not fermented and cooked with usually a little acid added to give it some tang. Any method can be smoked or not, traditional pepperoni isn't smoked.

The latter is the easiest.

Here's Len Poli's cooked, un- fermented version....
