    Smoked up some hocks and Easter Ham Bones

    Thanks....those were from a restaurant supply...possibly the reason for the meatier hock....most markets around here don't carry raw hocks usually Thanks buddy...nice to be missed. I've been smoking & using that pellet pusher a lot more now and the sausage making has kicked up a notch again...

    Bratwurst Time

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I neglected to mention when making these to eat I gently poached/simmered them to about IT 145 and finished on the grill, indirect heat, to mark them and crisp them up. I believe it helps to avoid blow outs while on the grill....Willie

    Bratwurst Time

    Was jonesing for some Brats on the grill so fished out an old recipe for a batch. I must say these were a HUGE hit at the VFW with beers and spicy mustard. Probably some of the best Brats I've made, perhaps from the NFDM & milk addition rather than using the usual beer (?). Regardless, stayed...

    Smoked up some hocks and Easter Ham Bones

    It's been a while since I posted anything but while doing something different that turns out it's always nice to share info. I used Pops Brine on fresh hocks for an 8 day soak, then an overnight dry in the fridge and then about 4 hours of hickory smoke in the Smoking It #3 at 250. IT hit about...

    Landjaeger sticks

    This is the second 5 pound batch already and it's going fast. My first time using pre-mixed commercial seasonings. GF picked up some Landjaeger stix in Washington and we both loved them but I balk at paying $11.95 a pound so the hunt was on for a clone. Waltons had a seasoning mix for...
