First Summer Sausage in a long time.

[bill ace 350]

Urge struck me on Thursday. Picked up 5lbs of 85/15 ground beef.

Mixed it up when I got home.

Stuffed tonight.

Smoke tomorrow.

Modified Allied Kenco recipe using Morton Tender Quick, added some crushed red pepper, mustard powder. Used buttermilk to spread seasonings around a little.

In the smoker an hour ago at 120F.

Pulled them from the fridge to warm up a little 2 hours before that.

Swore I had hickory chips, but nope....

Apple it is.

Fingers crossed...

Getting temp swings like I never had before....

Might be time to try the PID controlls...

If your setting out in the sun, temps will be all over the place.

That might be it..... full sun where the smoker is... no issues in winter or fall though!

Wow, you got a lot of sausage from 5 lbs of meat. What size of casings are you using? Looking good .

You win some, you lose some...

Couldn't maintain temps in the smoker, swinging high and low...

Fat out....

Chilling now... they'll probably be edible but not what I was shooting for..

Good lookin chubs.....should be set for a while I would think. I have some goose in the freezer I need to use up, may make some sticks soon.

Oh- congrats on the spinner ride!

 

[bill ace 350]

Well, it isn't a total loss.
Flavor very good, texture good, but a little dry after fat-out.

 

[uncle eddie]

Good news!
