    Brisket trimmings the right fat for sausage

        OK, so much for that!  It didn't cost me anything to wrap it and stick it in the fridge.  Glad I didn't ruin any sausage trying to use it.  Thanks for the info1

    Brisket trimmings the right fat for sausage

      Trimmed up a brisket to do on my barrel, wound up with near 2lbs of fat.  Is this good stuff to use for sausage?   Thanks all

    Bad Sausage day with the UDS.

    I need to get more of the big chunks of apple, you're right, it works great in the UDS.  Where I live I only have access to buying locally at the start of summer, the local stores don't seem to restock once sold out.  I just need to get it online.  It worked much better then the tube,

    Stuffing the sausage the night before smoking?

           Have some meat ground up and ready to stuff.  I was going to stuff it tonight, so I can get it going early tomorrow morning.  Any problem stuffing it the night before?  Should I wrap in while its in the fridge, or leave it out, to dry?  I'm thinking I need to get it to room temp before...

    Bad Sausage day with the UDS.

        Yes, I don't know how much time for sure the usage of the #1 cure gives you to get to temp before you run into problems.  The meat was in for maybe 3 1/2 hours, I spent over a hour trying to get the them dialed up; it just never got there.  So, I finished them in the oven.  I had bought the...

    Bad Sausage day with the UDS.

        Used my last twin pack of Pork Butt, to make a nice batch of sausage.  10lbs of Kielbasa, 10 of Chorizo, and 3 of Brat's. The problem I ran into, was, due to the colder temps, I could not get the heat where I wanted.  I ran the same setup that worked perfect in late August, but, once the...

    UDS Plans Needed

    Tri tips usually take 45 minutes, but in winter, that turned into 90 minutes.  I had that R30 on hand, cut the cook time back to what it takes in the summer.

    UDS Plans Needed

         I put my grill down about 9".  Not much worry about meat burning in a UDS.  I can fit everything we like to cook in it; a turkey is a bit tall for it, but A lid off a Weber Kettle fits nicely. One big difference in mine, is that I drilled my exhaust holes in the top rim of the barrel.  They...

    Amish Sweet Summer Sausage

        Man!  Does that look good.  Never occurred to me I could make a sausage I could slice and make sandwches with.  Are those a secret family recipe, or could you share that?  Also, what size are those casings?
