Chipotle Lime & Mesquite CBP

[redheelerdog]

Here's 7 lbs of pork butt and 3 lbs of elk.

Split the batch in half and added Owens BBQ Chipotle Lime for the first 5 lbs and Mesquite CBP for the next 5 lbs.

Ground, mixed and set overnight in the fridge.

Stuffed the next morning in 34mm hog cases.

Smoked in my new MES 40 BT with pitmasters choice to an IT of ~140F and finished in a hot bath to 160F, then an ice water dunk.

Bloomed in the nice cool garage overnight.

The Owens BBQ spice turned out excellent.

That looks like some great sausage! I'm with Al to clean is it a new toy?

 

[redheelerdog]

Thanks for the kind words and points guys. Yes, I did get a new toy, its a MES 40" blue tooth from Sam's club, got it for $279 which is a great deal, and yes, I DID season it, doesn't look it but it is. Ran it hot for 8hrs and added some old sausage I just let fat out, put some pitmasters choice through it also.

The texture was great with 3lbs of elk, I did grind the PB when it was almost still frozen and pre-cooled all the grinder part in the freezer, that does add to the particle size.

I was trying to stretch out the last of my elk, but then a buddy of mine's dad had a bunch in his freezer and gave me some more! Score!
