Hmm. No, but I just did. Thanks, Secondhand... I like the thought of pellet smokers because I don't have to open the smoker to add substrate. That is one thing I liked about the Bradley.
Ok, so my 10 year old smoker (non digital Bradley) finally died... looking for a new vertical smoker.... I would love something digital - I hated always nudging the slider on the ol' Bradley. Something that can smoke sausages, ribs, etc... I have a Kamado Joe, but the vertical space for...
It is pretty straight forward, Polka. Bummed I used too much cure...dang book! But glad I posted on here or I would have made AGAIN in a few months with too much cure again...crossed out already in book :) It does taste GREAT on pizza or in sandwiches.. next time I would make both the smaller...
Dang...most of the recipes I have seen call for 1 tsp per 5 #, which I used, but by weight seems too much. Hmm. Time for a new scale (already ordered on Amazon ;) ).... Thanks for the comments all.
Really, five? Where do you get that calc? I mean this came from a published book...can you attach your reference so I can learn?

Or buy some non-latex gloves from your local Walgreen's for a few bucks...they are worth every penny if you are going to get into this sausage making thing!
So, I made my first semi-cured sausage and I gotta say I am hooked. YUM. I modified a recipe from Carter and Peisker's Homemade Sausage as below:
5 pounds of chuck roast (beef)
28g salt
6g pink salt (instacure #1 -CORRECTED)
21g sugar
14g red pepper flakes
20g paprika (sweet)
7g cayenne...
Thanks all for the comments! Gonna try the bread trick today when I make some snack sticks... Oh and as for cleaning the sausage stuffing tubes, I have not bought any tools for that yet, but I find that chopsticks work great....
Hey all...
Just wondering what you guys use to get the meat out of the sausage stuffer elbow... I have the Hakka 7lb/3L stuffer and hate that about 1/4-1/3 pound is still in the elbow when the drive bottoms out... does anyone have a method/make something (?rubber compressible marble-sized balls...
So...I just (last weekend) made a batch of kaesekrainer (Austrian cheese sausage). I made two varieties, sharp Wisconsin cheddar (5 year) and Emmentaler. Neither melted during the smoke, so I consider that a success...wish I had pictures. I cut it up and then put the cheese in the freezer for...
Thanks for the warm welcome... And yes sawhorseray, my Pack looked pretty anemic when they played SF...and the Chargers... thank goodness I had some good books to read to calm me as I watched ;)
