TENN COUNTRY SMOKED BREAKFAST SAUSAGE 1st THREAD with Q-VIEWS

Hey folks, I ran across your thread in searching for those delish smoked sausage patties. Fascinating amount of work that some of you have done in research and recipes. Which I will definitely try at some point. I have been smoking meats on various grills, barrell's, webbers, green eggs and other devices for years and recently finished a lifelong ambition of having my own smokehouse. Only problem is late April/May weather here in Al starts getting warm this time of year so often the ambients are already too hot for a good cold smoke. So I did some research and wanted to inform that indeed (as published somewhere above) that Purnell Sausage does make this product. I contacted them and received this very nice email less than one day later.

" HI JEFFREY, THANKS FOR ASKING ABOUT OUR SMOKEHOUSE PATTYS. WE DO MAKE A 24CT SMOKEHOUSE PATTY, BUT DO NOT HAVE ANYONE IN ALABAMA THAT CARRIES THEM. WE DO HAVE THE SAME SAUSAGE IN A 1# ROLL OR CHUB. THEY ARE DISTRIBUTED IN ALABAMA THROUGH A GROCERY COMPANY IN ALBERTVILLE, AL. THEY CATER TO INDEPENDENT GROCERS SUCH AS S&S FOODS IN HANCEVILLE, (256)287-2663, WHSE GROC. IN HENCEVILLE, (256)352-6245 OR THE GATEWAY FOODS IN JASPER, (205)384-3536. THE MEAT MANAGERS IN THOSE STORES CAN GET OUR SMOKEHOUSE CHUBS FROM MITCHELL GROC. IN ALBERTVILLE, AL. HOPE THIS IS OF HELP. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSIATANCE.

SINCERELY,
LYNN CHESSER,
PURNELL SAUSAGE CO.

I'll see how the weather looks so cant wait to get some of those cloth bags and smoke up a batch. If I do get some of the Purnell i'll let you know how it is.
Keep up the good work!

I had heard somewhere about washing the cloth bags in Vinegar. Does anyone know what affect this might have?
