    Summer sausage again

    In my opinion the only difference is I don't have to turn it and it doesn't have grill marks....from the weight of it laying on the grill. I use the same recipe and wood to smoke with. And I always get the same great quality product. This is the first time I haven't had to finish it in the oven...

    Summer sausage again

    Well yesterday I had the smoker fired up. I made 10 1# sticks of summer sausage. It came out great as always but finally with warmer weather I was able to do it completely in the smoker and not the oven as I have had to everytime because it was cold out.

    First coldsmoker build

    Right idea but wrong way to use it. I tried smoking summer sausage which came out great as always. But tried using that smoke to cold smoke. Definately a no go my cheese smelt like an old ashtray. And everything elsein there did too. I was able to trim the cheese and make a save of some of it...

    Canadian bacon sticks?

    Ok was wondering if this was tried before. Next time loins go on sale I will pick one up for this experiment. I could cut a chunk of Canadian bacon into sticks but my first attempt has a sort of rind on the outside. So unless I cut that off the consistency will vary from stick to stick.

    Canadian bacon sticks?

    I was thinking about what if I peeped pork loin like I was going to make Canadian bacon and follow the process right up to smoking it and cut it into say 1/2 x 1/2 x 6" sticks then smoked them. Has anyone ever tried this?

    First smoke on new smoker

    Ok here is the rest of the finished products. The Canadian bacon is excellent and the same for the summer sausage. 3 Out of 3 yesterday was a good day. The summer sausage and some 7x cheddar and crackers...awesome snack.

    First smoke on new smoker

    Pulled pork is done and came out delicious for being pork loin. Definately could use more fat. But good all the same now to finish the SS and CB in the oven
