I made my first batch of Kielbasa yesterday--a 12 hour project start to finish. I cut up 9lbs of pork butt and added 1lb ground chuck to make up the difference for a 10lb batch. After grinding, mixing and stuffing, I finally got the sausages into the smoker to dry by 9:30pm. Because of the wind...
Thanks guys. I know the difference between Cure #1 and #2. I was just curious as to why he may have used #2 instead of #1. I wasn't going to use #2 (as I had mentioned in the OP) in my batch.

I got my AMNPS in the mail yesterday (super fast shipping!) along with a bag of Oak and a bag of Pitmaster pellets. Last night, I gave it a dry burn in the smoker (as...

Thanks. I was getting worried because I went through the posts with Qviews and most still had a reddish/pinkish color, maybe a light grey after curing.
I will say again, the fry test was promising. My dad wanted me to leave one of the slabs out for him to cook up tomorrow morning and he wanted...
