    Starting my first batch of beef sticks!

    I only gave the sausage a little over an hour of drying time.  I checked and they seemed dry to me.  So, onward to smoke & heat! The burner is from an old turkey fryer. Starting out with the burner turned down and the temp at 100 deg. Ah, that sight we want to see.  That thin blue smoke.

    Starting my first batch of beef sticks!

    Here's some pics: Last of the meat in the casings! Five pounds of meat sticks ready to hang. Ready to go! Two hours of just air to dry things out a bit before starting the smoke. I'll provide the smoke with hickory pellets in an A-Maze-N box. I have another maze type smoker if I...

    Starting my first batch of beef sticks!

    It's also the first batch of sausage I've made in over 10 years! This  the recipe I'm using:  http://chopandbrew.com/recipes/spicy-beef-stick-snack-stick-recipe/   (5 lb. quantity) I've omitted the 'red pepper' (too many flavor conflicts, imho) but used the full amount of cayenne. I also...

    Andouille! Andouille? Which recipe?

    I've been reading through a bunch of Andouille recipes.  Seems like everyone has their own favorite.  I used to make Andouille using the recipe in the Culinary Institute of America textbook.  It's pretty good, but not so sure how authentic it is.  What I'd like to try to create is an Andouille...
