Sorry, the entry fee includes a 40'x40' spot. I am trying to keep the public out of our area while cooking for 2-3 days. Thoughts I had so far are: Yellow Caution Tape, Yellow Plastic Chain Link Fencing, rent actual fencing from a company.
Open to suggestions/ideas/tips!
I'm curious if anyone has done competition BBQ before (I'm sure there's a bunch). I'm trying to figure out a way to best secure a 40'x40' spot from the general public. Everything is on the contestants to provided, and there are a few vendors to rent from, but I wanted to see if anyone had any...
In my experience it hasn’t been. It has a grassy smell to it, but generally goes away after seasoning and cooking.
My guess is I didn’t soak/rinse the casing properly. I’ll give these ones away 😉 and get a consensus from the crowd. It could just be me, but I feel there is a slight gamey-ness...
Thanks for the link! I definitely did not follow those steps. I soaked them in water for 30 minutes and didn't do a water change either... eek! Lots to learn in this game.
Thanks again for the discussion, I'll be adding a few more days/steps to my routine.
100% Gemsbok (10#)
High Temp Cheddar (1#)
Walton’s Jalapeño Popper Premix, portioned to 10#.
2 C ice water
Mix until super sticky, stuff in 28-32 mm natural casings, air dry in the refrigerator for 36 hours.
Smoked this morning at various time/temperature profiles:
100F - 1 Hour
115F - 1 Hour...
Yes, for 30 minutes or so per the directions.
45 minutes or so, but I did not temp the sausages after.
I stuck them in the refrigerator for 2 hours to bloom, I figured that would help. But I think you're leaning down the path of re-hydrating the casing to help it peel.
