Your sugars look fine, i use maple syrup instead of honey but the amounts are pretty much exactly what I use. The info the fellows gave you about cure is solid, im not going to add anything there.

Bit of an update. You may want to leave the tomatoes in the brine a while longer. I tried mine and they taste like a cherry tomato with a bit of vinegar on them. Almost zero brine in them. I just going to leave them for a couple weeks. This experiment may not work i fear.

I wasn't thinking of it either but I picked up a cherry tomato plant in the spring, i didn't really want cherries but I waited too long and its all they had left. I prefer indeterminate but there wasn't any. Well, this plant must be nuclear grade or something, im gonna have hundreds of tomatoes...
Nice, i vaccum sealed mine also. Ill see if I can get a pic up also. The cider vinegar sure gave them a nice orange tinge. Im gonna give mine a taste tomorrow, that will be 3 days, should give a reasonable idea what they are like.
I did a 50/50 vinegar, water, a crushed garlic clove, ½ tsp of sugar,½ tbsp of salt , put in a good size sprig of fresh dill.. And a few cracked pepper corns. I poked each tomato once with a toothpick to just break the skin. Just a pint jar.

Anybody pickle tomatos? I just did one jar of pickled cherry tomatoes. I just did them as fridge pickles. I have 2 weeks to find out how they are, if anyone has done them I would be curious to find out what they turned out like.

This is more important than the cook in my opinion, or at least as important. Your rest should take a least an hr to 1½ hrs. Any quicker and you are gonna be dry. Plus holding at 140 is the danger zone, I would hold at 150 to 170 in my opinion.

I do a ramp up of temps, 130 ,140, 150 etc per hr, till I hit 168f and just let things sit till the sausage is 150f . I heavy smudge smoke for a couple hrs, then lighten up for a couple hrs then just let them cook till done. 10 lbs usually takes about 5 to 6 hrs. Then just cool bath and hang...
I bought a Bfour ( off shore) brand off Amazon just for resting and holding briskets so I don't have to have wires hanging out of my warming box, it was.50 bucks and I gotta say, the thing is great. The bluetooth signal goes through the warmer,towels, tinfoil, no issues.

It seems most fellows on here prefer the poaching method, i bought a large oster turkey roaster and gave it a try, it works well. Im of the school of smoking and finishing in the cabinet. The water bath is a lot quicker not gonna lie. But the smoker kind of dries the casing a bit and gives you...
The biggest thing you have to keepnin mind when smoking sausage is take the 170deg f max temp to heart, any hotter, and your will melt the fat in the sausage. Some people may say they have gone hotter, but as a general rule, that is you max. Thats the big issue with using pellet smokers or...
