I had the urge for some kielbasa and made up 11 pounds this past weekend.I used 9 # of pork butt and 2# of  80/20 ground beef .

 

Weighed out my spices of salt ,marjoram,pepper and fresh garlic and kept out nine pounds of pork.I saved some back fat for later projects.

 

I had the 32 mm  casings soaking as I ground the pork.

 

I mixed the meats and spices and then stuffed 8 pounds leaving three #'s in bulk to have patties.Then into the smoker at 110*

 

I started at 110* with no smoke and dampers open for an hour and then added hickory chips and bumped the temp to 160 in 10 degree increments. Hit an IT 154* after about 7 hours. Into the snow to chill  down to 115* and then hung/ bloomed in the cellar for a few hours

 

Here's a money shot of the sliced kielbasa and it is tasty ! Thanks for looking ! CM

 
Looks great! I really want to try making some but after my first sausage making experience... I dont know if I'm cut out to stuff sausage.
 
Looks Mighty Tasty, CM !!

AB, I used Marianskys' recipe for 11 pounds:

12 g cure #1

90 g salt

6 g black pepper

2.5 g marjoram

10 g sugar

2.5 g garlic

A very basic and very tasty recipe! Thanks all for the responses ! :)
 
CM That looks great were do you get the casings? Points for making me extra hungry

Very nice! What do you mean it was your basic Kielbasa? Not enough Garlic or other spice?

Richie, I bought those casings from the Syracuse casing co. They are an all american product but I don't like the flushed pre tube jobbies . They seem to dry out on the tube as I stuff, tried water as lube as well as oil and they always seem to get stuck on the tube about half way through. I started removing the plastic and cutting what I need and then putting them on the tube. The casings are VERY tender and make for a great snap when you bite the sausage.

I've been using the same casings and really like the quality, but don't really care for the pre-tubed thing. I just slide them off the plastic onto the horn now. When I use these up I'll go for Syracuse again, but not the pre-tubed.
Nice looking K'basa, CM!
