    Smoking mishaps

    That is a scary story, I have never had a kitchen fire at home. I’ve worked in food service kitchens for many years and have seen a few small fires but nothing to get to excited about. Having something like that happen in my home kitchen would be very nerve racking. Cal

    Smoking mishaps

    Just wondering if anyone has any stories to share about smoking endeavors that went terribly wrong? I will start with one of mine. Back when I was a teenager we would go to the river and catch large amounts of whitefish. We would skin them fillet them then my Dad would smoke them in a large...

    Breakfast Sausage

    Biggy1 There is no reason why you can’t add cure or msg to your breakfast sausage. There are more benefits to adding the cure than just allowing you to smoke the sausage. MSG, obviously will aid in the overall flavor of the sausage while the cure will not only change the texture of the sausage...

    Horseradish sausage update

    fullborebbq Sorry about that, most of my recipes are written for myself so I don’t expect anyone else to need to understand them. Anyways, the starter mixture is the note in the box, 1/8 tsp of bactofirm LHP mixed with 2 tbl of distilled water and a pinch of dextrose. Add mixture to the...

    Horseradish sausage update

    O.K here we go. I need to start out by saying this was my very first attempt at this so I had no idea how much horseradish powder to add, I didn’t want to totally overpower the sausage so I started light. The recipe as written gives a slight hint of horseradish, if you want more, well add more...

    Horseradish sausage update

    Sorry this took so long I have been very busy with yard, work fencing, etc. anyways, here is my version of this recipe and my thoughts on how it turned out. First photo, right after stuffing. And ready for 12 hours in the sauna. Next on the way to the smoker. I think I need to mow my lawn. And...

    Hey Plinsc Funny you should mention that because I literally just got done pulling it out of the smoker. I guess we will know the final results tomorrow after a rest in the fridge. Stay tuned, Cal

    Horseradish sausage

    Hey chop The idea for me to try this came from just a few days ago when I was making some “real” fermented sausage. I had some meat left over from the stuffer, so I thought, why not. I formed it into a meatball, so to speak then baked it in the oven for 20 min or so, I was surprised at how good...

    Horseradish sausage

    O.K. The recipe has been written up. I’m going to call it, horsey summer sausage. I will get to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, on this one. I have been wanting to try a semi-fermented summer sausage, not sure if that is the correct terminology but the sausage will use a starter...

    Horseradish sausage

    5GRILLZNTN I will do a small test batch. Planning on making some sausage this weekend anyways so a little more will be a snap. Now I just need to get my lazy butt out of my chair and get busy. Cal

    Horseradish sausage

    Hey 5GRILLZNTN I have about 5# of horseradish powder that I’m planning on using for this. It works great in a Mayo based sauce for sandwiches etc. just need to find more uses for it. Cal

    Horseradish sausage

    Oh yea, I love horseradish cheese, hard to find but delicious. That would be great. Something else I just thought of is adding some horseradish to a favorite summer sausage. That would give it a little pizazz. Cal

    Horseradish sausage

    I have been thinking about this for awhile now, how to incorporate horseradish into a sausage recipe. I love horseradish so it would seem natural to use it in a sausage recipe. I guess I’m not really sure on what direction to take on which spices to add, I’m thinking a lightly seasoned kielbasa...

    Breakfast Sausage

    Hi Recon1 Geez, I hope nobody yells at me this time. Anyways, don’t be afraid to change a recipe, or add/delete any spice. In this hobby you, and or your family are the only ones you need to satisfy. It sounds like you are on the right track to figuring that out so have fun and enjoy yourself...

    Breakfast Sausage

    Recon1 That recipe sounds more like an Italian sausage recipe with some sage thrown in. Not what I would call a breakfast sausage either. This might work for you. 2# ground pork butt 2 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp rubbed sage 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground thyme 1 tsp ground coriander...

    Super hot pickled sausage

    Hi Dave Some white vinegar can be as low as 3.5% I almost bought a jug like that at the store the other day by mistake it was just a cheep generic brand, so yes read the label before you buy. The 3:1 ratio came from my experiments making shelf stable dill pickles a few years ago. Nearly every...

    Super hot pickled sausage

    Fivetricks If you want to persue hot sauces using capsaicin one option I can think of would be a whiskey flavored sauce. Since the capsaicin needs to be dissolved in alcohol it would be a natural way to do it. You could also use tequila or any of your fav liquors. I plan on trying this with the...
