we as well are always looking for anything to help in the quest to have healthier ...... the problem is this hobby ,,,, it is just to good of eats so many times caution is thrown to the wind.  :biggrin:

Hahaha exactly. This hobby has packed on a few pounds. Recipes like this are just trying to right the ship a little bit.

Thanks so much! Flavor wise they were very similar just a little more beefy which I have no problem with haha. When you take a bite the spices, cure, and smoke let you know it's kielbasa even though there is no pork to be found.

Question? How long do you all think I can keep these in the fridge? Smoked them on Saturday. Want to Vaccuum pack most but grill some up for dinner tomorrow night. I think I should be ok but just wanted to ask. Thanks!

Well I ended up eating them tonight so storage is not a worry. Vaccuum packed the rest and stuck them in the freezer. Just before dinner I finished cooking a butt (for later in the week) on my new (to me) WSM 18.5. Figured why not make good use of this amazingly fuel efficient smoker and turn it into a grill with the remaining charcoal:

Played up with some rice and broccoli:

Definitely a successful experiment and these will be a staple in my freezer!
Thanks eveyone for encouragement and for watching.

Thanks a lot!  Moisture was good.  Of course not like the full fat version but a good weeknight meal!

Those look great, I can't believe how juicy they stayed at 90/10 beef! My wife much prefers beef to pork, so I'll be saving this thread to duplicate soon. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks guys! They were surprisingly juicy probably because of the addition of the NFDM. Hopefully my future healthy sausage endeavors will be as successful as this was.
