    Summer sausage question

    I smoke my SS for around 6 hours, until I like the color, and then finish it to 155 in a hot water bath. Don't over heat the water temp, or it will fat out on ya. Then into the ice bath to stop the cooking. Just my way

    Casing questions

    I will be doing another batch soon, using the clear 26mm collagen casings from Walton's. I plan to string link them right after stuffing. Then let them sit in the fridge over night to get rid of some of the moisture before attempting to hang on dowels. The bite on the collagens is softer and I...

    Nope, left plenty of room for linking. They would just un-twist.

    Casing questions

    They were the Clear casings. I even called Walton's about it. They weren't much help. They sed they twist link em all the time. I think it might have been a moisture issue, and when they had dried a little they were strong enough to hang. If I can figure it out, I will use the collagens alot...

    Casing questions

    I should add that I waited a day to smoke the hot dogs as I was smoking LJ and pepper stick on dowels also and had to wait until they were done to load with racks. If that makes sense.

    Casing questions

    I used the Walton's clear collagen casings for hot dogs last month. I found that I could not twist link them also. I ended up hand tying every 6 inches. Right after I finished linking, I tried to hang on my dowels to load in the smoker, and the links were breaking right at the ties. So instead...

    Pellet Smoker Questions - 1st Time Buyer

    Right on. I like the idea of the sear box right on the side of the smoker. I have to fire up the propane BBQ to sear after I smoke on my gmg.

    Pellet Smoker Questions - 1st Time Buyer

    Look at Green Mountain Grills. Better built IMHO. Less temp swing and more controllable. I have cooked on both.

    The way I do it is to ferment them in the fridge at 38 to 40 degreed for 4 days before smoke and 4 days after smoke.

    Hot Water Bath Poll

    When I do finish my pepper stick in the smoker, I do add a hotel pan full of water. Although I am not sure how much humidity it adds in my insulated reverse flow smoker.

    Big sausage run

    I don't have any pics of the outside of smokehouse, but I do have a cool pic looking thru the door. Smokehouse is a block and concrete affair that is 30 or 40 years old. Gramps (not my real Gramps, but everybody calls him that) built it way back when he built the slaughter house.

    Couldn't have done it by myself, that's for sure! Not in that timeframe, anyways.

    Hot Water Bath Poll

    I use 21 mm collagen casings from B&P an I like the way they come out. They plump up nice if I finish in water. I have peeled the casing off in the past if I finished them in the smoker.
