    Cold smoked deer sausage

    Here is the casing \ bag I make and use. One reason I like the cotton bag is because it breathes as you are stuffing it less chance of trapping air in it but it still needs to be stuffed tight.

    Bradley cold smoke retrofit ( first cheese )

    Thanks driedstick, I was thinking I would have to dismantle it for hot smoking (not really a big deal) but I hot smoked some ribs and realised that it was better to hot smoke this way for more consistent temperature i.e. no heat loss from the oven when adding wood.

    Summer sausage in muslin bags.

    I forgot about this thread as well but have been enjoying the SS. For me the original recipe needs a little more Black Pepper. Other than that I am very happy with the out come and the 6 that are left are vacuum sealed in the meat cave to prevent them from getting to dry. Summer Sausage with...
