I mixed one up last night and going on the KJ this afternoon! Great minds think alike. I usually go at 250-275 for a couple hours. Did you run it at 225? How long did it take to finish for you?
Thanks. Now I gotta decide whether to get bigger casings or a new grinder plate. I’m leaning new casings because I really like the kidney plate grind texture for andouille. Although I could also run some through my 10 mm plate and dice some up for a blend??
was researching grind techniques for andouille when I found his old post @indaswamp . Not only impressed by the sausage but $.99 butts! Times have changed.
I assume this is your IT. What temp do you set your smoker to or do you work the temp up like usual on sausages? Just got my first grinder and am about to try my hand at andouille.
Been thinking about getting a top end pellet grill/smoker as well. I have an MES40 for sausage and a KJ Classic I for grilling. Hesitant to get rid of the KJ because I'm not confident I'll like the "grilling" of the pellets. Interested to hear your thoughts
What do the labels mean below our avitar? Mine says "meat mopper" while others are "smoking guru" or "smoking fanatic". I assume it's a level of posts or activity? Just curious.
How does the mix time affect the finished "courseness" of sausage? If I start with course ground meat, but mix the batter too much, will I "undo" the benefit of the course grind? Should I be careful to only mix to the point of sticking to my hand? Can sausage batter be over-mixed?
