Wieners

[boykjo]

Well, took my first whack at some wieners..... Boy do I have a lot to learn.....DanMcG enspired me with his smoked wieners with his post....  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/105244/wiener-makin       I changed a few things by adding less salt and using a pork shoulder and I didnt have fresh sheep casing..... This is what Happened..... LOL

ground some butt... broke out the Armstrong grinder.... she misses me

Made up the mix

All mixed up and re ran the meat through the food processor to emulsify

showing off my sausage tubes I made for my stuffer.......

Didn't have sheep casings so I went with 38mm hog casings

Stuffed and in the fridge to dry out the casings a bit

Well here's a bump in the road.. I dont have more pics downloaded to the computer from the camera because my son took my chord.... The Playstation 3 uses the same chord to charge his controller. He will be back soon for the finish pics.......

Can't wait to see the final on this one!

Those emulsified sausages can be a pain in the ....

Good luck and good smoking.

Can't go wrong with Dan's wieners.

 the results

 

[boykjo]

Got my chord to download some more pictures

Cold smoked the wieners for 3 hrs. in my offset with maple in the amnps.... Looks like the dogs didnt get a nice color but the did get a smokey flavor

par boiled... water temp at 180 to wieners to 160 then into an ice bath......

I'll post some grilled pics tomorrow. Dans wieners makes my wieners look like &^%*$&....  They are good but I am looking for a different  flavor... I really like dietz and watson hot dogs.... more of what I am looking for.......

Sweet Joe, I hope ya like them, But I've always found that you can take the exact same recipe and stuff it into a different casing and it will taste totally different. Looking forward to what you think of them in 38's

Those look good Joe. I would give those a try in a heartbeat. This just got moved up the list to do

Now your dogs look pretty darn good to me. Now the casings might make a difference. I guess you need to keep trying and prefect your dogs. Not a bad thing in some of our eyes.

They sure look good to me Joe! When you get the recipe the way you want it I hope you post it, because I'd like to give it a try too.

showing off my sausage tubes I made for my stuffer.......

got details on how you made the tubes????

 

[boykjo]

I get a 2 inch tri clover cap and bore it on a lathe the size the sanitary tubing I want and make it a press fit. Press the tube in the cap and weld. then I turn down the base to the size needed to fit the stuffer

Those look great...so do the tubes...

 

[smokinhusker]

Those look good...hubby don't like hot dogs but I'll bet he'd eat those. Thanks for the info on the tubes too

 

[sam3]

Those look great!

I'm ordering sheep casings this morning. This is something I really want to try!

Looks good!

using what you have creatively is an art in itself!

You beat me to it BC, I was going to say, Big Fat hot dogs are Knockwurst...Some Braised Red Cabbage, Spaetzle and Mustard...YUM!...JJ

 

[gersus]

I bet those "real" hotdogs are gonna be great. Can't wait to hear your take on 'em though. 

The tubes are super awesome! Wish I had access to stainless welding wire...

 

[johnnie walker]

Joe, those dogs look good to me!

 I could go for a big fat knockwurst about now.

 

[hoity toit]

I always wanted to try and make some footlong hot dogs. ,buns for those are hard to find in my area.
