No pics of the seasoning or stuffing. Sorry hard to do it myself and take pics.

Mixed and in the fridge overnight.

Took 10 hours to reach 158. Thought that took too long. Oh well. Used pitmasters blend from Todd for 4 hours.

All done finally.

Into the fridge for a bloom but I had to do a taste test.

All though it took along time to reach IT it was still very moist. Had a good flavor. Might add to the spice mix next time to get something more out of it.

No wrinking of the casings this time. I will for sure grind my own meat from now on.

More pics tomorrow.

I strive to smoke sausage like you did these because I have goods results. It might taste a little stronger tomorrow. It looks very good from here.

I agree. Let it sit in the refrig for a bit and the flavors will become more pronounced.

Great job Adam. Welcome to the dark side.

I tried more tonight.

I just feel it needs something else, don't get me wrong its very good. I will keep making it just like this but do some experiments with it too.

This turned out really good. The Mrs and I got to taste a sample. We finished it all quickly. Great smooth texture. The casings kinda got really moist and melted right into the bologna flavor and texture. I'm guessing the water bath does that? Hit some larger garlic pockets in some areas. Nothing that I'd complain about at all. Big Thumbs up for this. Thumbs Up

It looks pretty darn good to me, Adam. I think you are just getting to be so good you are picky. Just saying.

I need to get the garlic minced better and the casing did turn out great.
