Couple Chubs of Summer Sausage

[dirtsailor2003]

Case I think if you used sliced they would break up when stuffing. I can picture whole ones in yours would look like olive loaf.

That may be the trick! I will have to play around with that I guess. I like green olives and pimentos in there.

Ya her weekend so she will decide, no chinese or Japan food, spent two yrs over there while in service and that was enough for me, Plus we are still eating on the Pork Butts we did for the super bowl, I think she is spent on BBQ for the weekend, Need to find a Nice Steak place with some deep fried shrimp and a baked spud. 

Have a great weekend.

Case, I note you didn't reference a 'grinder' in that group.

So a question I've always had is how to mix sliced olives evenly into the meat to get them everywhere? I assume that you mix them in prior to stuffing?

You can chill the olives in the freezer then add them right before stuffing. Fold into the meat to disperse then stuff

Brilliant! Points back at ya!

I've been thinking that the olives stuffed jalapeños and the olives stuffed with garlic cloves would be a nice addition to summer sausages!

What temp do you smoked at looked like 175 to finish what do you start at and how many time do you bump it between? Looks good!:grilling_smilie:

I do a method of ramping up the temp every hour. I start at 100°f for the first hour, no smoke. Then I jump up to 120°f for the next hour, and I start adding smoke. Then 10°f every hour after that until I get to 180°.  I do this so I don't render out fat.

Real nice job Case.

I like to mix in a little ECA prior to stuffing and smoking for the "tang".

Thanks Sam! I will keep that in mind when I start using my own seasoning. Do you mix the ECA with water prior to mixing or do you put it in dry?

I mix it in dry just prior to stuffing into casings then smoking.
