If the sausage is smoked etc? Then why do you boil it, after you smoke it? Just curious because I've made smoked and fresh Cajun Sausage, Smoked Seafood Sausage all types , Tasso ,Andouille , Boudin and I'm from Southwestern Louisiana and Live in a small town in Louisiana. We never boil any meats after we smoke it..We pretty much smoke most meats...I'm always willing too learn something different!
 
 
Hello 4X 

I use ale lovers formula located here

http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/133235/italian-sausage-calculator

I add some cayenne Pepper  and I all most double the fennel ...also I use a mix of seed fennel and ground fennel

Now as far as the tenderloin ... you can use it  the formula has a meat to fat ratio built into it  this being said ... I like a nice butt cause the fat to meat to me is fine in a nice boston butt   I got these butts at $1.69  a pound  ... right now lions are running 4 bucks a pound  even at Sams Club
Thank you for the ale lovers link and the information on the right pork to use.... I ended up making burnt ends with the tenderloin and they came out good.

Hello Paula

The reason for boiling it ...and someone correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm new at this too ..   is to make sure that the whole sausage made it to a temp of 160 .. this was anything that may be lurking in it is no more ... and in my case lol  its ready to eat right out of the bag ...

I'm wanting to make all three Tasso ,Andouille , Boudin esp the Tasso to season my red beans and rice ...so any hints you have send them my way :)
