While perusing recipes on a slow day at work, I found this
https://theroaminggastrognome.com/2015/06/11/jagerwurst-hunter-sausage
It looked interesting, so I gave it a try.
5# pork shoulder
40 grams Kosher
1 tsp #1
1tbs ground Ginger
1tbs ground Mace
1/2 tbs ground Nutmeg
3 tbs Minced Garlic
3 tbs Black Pepper (I used White Pepper instead)
1/2 cup NFDM (I used 3/4 cup)
I mixed all spices except for NFDM with the cubed meat, then refrigerated overnight, per intructions
The next day I mixed the NFDM and then ground all through the course plate and then half through the fine (per instuctions. Never again. What a sticky mess! Always grind then mix, no matter what a Chicago food blogger says...)
I stuffed into 36/38 pretubed from Syracuse Casing and hung to dry
Smoked with AMZN tube and pellets slowly to 150IT, water bathed and rehung.
It was late, so I just tossed them in a brown bag overnight and packaged next day
They taste really good, kind of like snack sticks on stearoids! A lot of Garlic of course, but you can taste the Ginger. The Nutmeg is hidden. Next time I may back off the Garlic a little and bump up the Nutmeg.
It goes really well with smoked Baby Swiss and Club Original crackers.Sorry, no plate pic, you'll have to trust me [emoji]128512[/emoji]

Those look great and I love the flavors in that recipe.  I just have two questions for you.  Was there water in the pan?  Just curious if it was because I have read that with sausage the drier environment the better.  I am far from an expert so I was just curious.  Also, I have that same smoker so I was wondering if you use a needle valve to keep the temp that low?

No water in the pan, work. It's there just to keep anything from falling or dripping on the small hotplate I use for heat. I put the hotplate right over the burner where the chip pan usually sits. No way to get those low temps with the gas. I'm afraid that a needle valve would take the flame so low that it would blow out easily, but I never really tried it, so don't take my word for it. Since I got the stick burner all I use the MB for is sausage and cheese. With the mailbox it's handier than a pocket on a t-shirt ;-)
