225 lbs of Christmas Gifts

[solaryellow]

It just keeps growing. The first year I did 20 lbs, the following year we did 50 lbs, and then last year we did 100 lbs. Last year it only lasted a week, so this year we did 225 lbs. We are doing them in the big smoker this year. It took OBX and I nearly 12 hours to get it all mixed, stuffed, tied and into the fridge. It was nice to have the Kirby Cannon that I picked up from Nepas last year. It made stuffing a breeze.

The main chamber gets too warm so I am using the warming box to cook the sausage.

All 4 racks are fully loaded.

I hope to bring a few to N FL this year. I will keep a couple aside for you my friend.

As for the HOA, I have 10 days after they mail the letter for me to correct the problem. :biggrin:

I dunno about that Joe. I took the easy road this year and got two cases of 80/20 ground angus chuck from Sam's Club. My right wrist thanked me later for not getting whole chuck rolls. :biggrin:

Wow! Looks good Joel!

Thanks Martin!

Thanks! I appreciate that. I think this is the best batch I have done yet. A dozen have come off the smoker and I think that burning hickory slabs really made a difference. :sausage:

 

[solaryellow]

I couldn't help but get into one of the dozen that are already done. The wifey chose jalapeno and cheddar.

The only difference between this and years past is that I used actual hickory slabs when smoking them as opposed to chunks. I think I will be doing it this way next year as well. The pics are after a 10 hour smoke, a 30 minute ice bath and 2 hours of blooming.
