Been working on my venison summer sausage, riffing off dirtsailor2003's "Venison in a bag" recipe. I amped up almost everything by 30%.. using 60/40 lean venison to fatty pork shoulder; cased in what I believe is a 30-some mm collagen casing. Added half the recommended dose each of phosphate, NFDM, and ECA. 3hrs hickory smoke at 150-160 then 3hrs no smoke, then into the 165 water bath. Didn't bother with the ramp up or ice bath this time. Best batch ever despite omitting these steps.. gonna be makin a lot more of this.
