    Kielbasa and Ring Bologna in the New Smokehouse

    Thanks chew! Do it. You won't regret it. The recipe I used is Rytek Kutas' bologna recipe from the book Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing. I have simmered to finish after smoking, but have never simmered it to "cook" it before eating it. I would imagine it tastes pretty good that way.

    The smokehouse is more for warm and cold smoking for sausage and cheese and such rather than hot smoking. I will never get the temperature up above 220* in the smokehouse.

    Kielbasa and Ring Bologna in the New Smokehouse

    Hey Smokey, The ring bologna casings are I got from Butcher and Packer, and the Kielbasa casings are from the sausage maker. Collagen for the bologna and hog for the kielbasa (pre-tubed). It is more expensive pre-tubed, but much less of a pain to clean and load on the stuffer tube.
