That's awesome..I'm pretty sure you need my address too.  Besides adding cheese and extra's did you use a pre-mix of seasoning? If so, which one? I'm trying to see what the general favorite is around SMF for SS seasonings before I just start buying and experimenting.

I bet your neighborhood was drooling! You're that guy that makes the neighborhood smell amazing!!

Thanks! The mix I use is a bastardized version of Len Poli's recipe.

Joel, morning...  Sausage looks perfect...  Quite a task you took on....   Great results....   I guess 5#'s of andouille shouldn't shake my confidence after looking at your batch...

Now that my friend is a smoker...Nice sausage you made there. I wish I lived across the street....

 

[smokinhusker]

Great looking SS...looks very moist! I'm with Todd - now I feel inadequate!!! You don't poach it do you? I just made 5 lbs a few days ago and sliced some yesterday, it's dry this time.

 

[bluto]

Wow!  That looks fantastic!  My mouth literally started watering 

 from the pictures, awesome!  If/when I get into the sausage making side of of this addiction, this is on top of my list.

Thanks RT! I do miss Minneapolis June through August though.

Normally I do cold smoke it and then poach it. Because of this year's volume, that seemed like an insane task. Especially knowing that I can easily keep the warming box in the 160 - 170 F range. However, when we built the smoker, I never thought to probe the warming box for hot spots. I now know where they are and we have about a dozen chubs that are going to be for our private enjoyment. :biggrin:

It is a matter of when, not if Bluto. I blame the group here for getting me into it a few years back. :sausage:

I agree Joel, When not If! I keep putting it off because I know once it starts there is no looking back! But it's getting close, you guys just keep pushing me and I'm going to go off the edge very soon!
