    Bacon ends in smoked sausage

    Want to make some sausage using 10lb moose and 5lb bacon ends then smoke. How much cure#1 do I use.

    Sodium Nitrite----is it cured or is it not

    It is a marketing ploy.

    Is it Bacon or Ham

    If it doesn't have that "cured" look it is NOT cured.

    You added pink salt to Tender Kwik? Doesn't Tender Kwik contain sodium nitrite?

    Ice bath?

    I have noticed that after removing my sausage from the ice bath, sometimes the water has a brown tinge to it and sometimes it has a black tinge. Same wood, same smoke time and same sausage. Doesn't seem to make a difference in the flavour. Any ideas?
