    Cold Smoked Patty Sausage Fail.....or was it?

    It actually wasn't bad at all. The flavor dos mellow once I put it in the freezer. But I don't think I'd do it again for that long.

    Cold Smoked Patty Sausage Fail.....or was it?

    To give a bit more info, the deboned butt weighed right at 9lbs.  I weighed the cure (it was just under 2 tea spoons.), 2 table spoons table salt, 1/2 cup brown suger, various spices.

    Buckboard Bacon Cure question
