It looks very tasty! For that price I would be loading up. You can make some fine tasting Canadian Bacon or slice thick and cure and smoke some chops.

Happy smoken.

David I have a few pieces set aside for CB in the freezer, I have one in the brine now. First time making smoked Kielbasa they have may 2 hrs to go. Saving that as a separate thread

You shouldn't be smoking any sausage that hasn't been cured.

That is fine looking work.
As I stated earlier the smoked would be a separate post. It is safe Thanks for your concern.
 
Perfectly safe as long as it does not fall into the 40-140 degree range to long. 2 hours definitely won't hurt.
 
That looks great. Just an FYI...Fresh Kielbasa is not intended to be smoked, therefore no cure is added. It can be Hot Smoked, like any fresh (uncured) sausage, but must be smoked at 225° or higher. Fresh Kielbasa is typically simmered with Sauerkraut, my fav been eating it this way over 50 years, or grilled like Brats. A common method of making Fresh Kielbasa is to make one large batch, " with Cure " and keeping a portion to be eaten fresh and smoking the rest into the more common Smoked Kielbasa. This is a very fast way to make two styles of Kielbasa. The cure in the fresh Sausage has very little effect on the flavor but it imparts a pale pink color to the cooked sausage. The cure also increases the refrigerated Self Life from 3 days to a week or more...JJ

Great looking sausage, tropics. Kielbasa is an upcoming project. You have inspired me to do it sooner!

Man you hit the jackpot at 1.29 lb.  I'd toss a bunch in my cart for sure.  Your links look real good and I bet taste just as good.  Reinhard
