Going bonkers same as Rick not making sausage... Was out of hot dogs so I picked up 2 butts on sale and turned'em into these

Stuff into a mini ring and twist ti in the middle


16 lbs...........


Hot dogs hanging on my new rack to dry. I cover the rods with foil for easy clean up


In the smoker with the A-Maze-n tube smoker.......http://www.amazenproducts.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=12  

Running some maple on these


Didnt get any pics of them out of the smoker.... here they are out of the cold water bath after the final par boil in 180 degree water

The tube smoker worked great. A few of the hot dogs that were directly under the tube really got a lot of smoke on the ends. The have a real smokey flavor.

Next time I think I will back off and only use one tube


Thanks for looking

Joe

Good work! What kind of casings? Did you emulsify them? The color looks way better than mine. Too many links touching.. Need a real hanging rack system.

22/24 mm sheeps from B&P... They were about 8 months old and were loosing their elasticity. I had a few blow outs with minimal pressure on the casing. Good thing it was the end... Time to reorder some more..... Didnt emulsify.. getting too lazy... Just did the triple grind.... Hope to get the robot coupe blixer soon so my lazy arse can emulsify with a touch of a button,,,LOL
 
As usual...looks great!  Is B&P your favorite sheeps? I've been using them for my snack sticks and have been quite happy.
Yes.. Been very happy with their natural sheep casings.. nice tender snap when you bite

Joe, I made some of these over the weekend using different recipe. First time ever...

I bought 24/26 mm from another company, and honestly they look like snack sticks versus wieners. I'm not happy at all with them.

I'm going to place an order with B&P today. Thanks for the review with the B&P.

I'll snap some pics tonight of my experiment and post it tomorrow.

I made them with the 24/26 mm and the 22/24 mm and prefer the smaller 22/24 mm casings. Just seems to be too much meat for a hot dog with the larger casing......  did you take them to 140 then do the parboil to 160. I have taken them to 160 in the smoker and they were good, just not as tender as when they were parboiled to 160

22/24 mm


these were 24/26mm

I guess I'm used to the Vienna type Hot Dogs we get up this way. The smaller one's are good for holding kraut, chili, etc.

We normally eat ours nekkid.

I took mine to 130 in the Bradley and parboiled to 152. Ice bath, then bloom.

I did a 50/50 ratio of ground poke and 85/15 GB.

Forgot the camera again this morning. I'll get a thread up of what I did soon.
