Maybe I won't be alive to show the sliced pics. Lol.



Instructions say 143. I have been talking to Rick ( NEPAS ). He pulls his at 140. Way more knowledge than I have
 
Looking good Adam. Made a 25 pound batch just yesterday myself. Mine was made with a seasoning kit from Curleys sausage kitchen. First time trying this one, but already seems to have better flavor than the other boxed kit I tried last year. I do love this stuff, but I agree with others. 140 seems low as I go to 152-155, but if Nepas says it's ok, it's ok as long as you fry it up before eating. Let me know how this stuff turns out, I'm always looking for good seasoning kits for venison.

140 Is a good temp to pull the GFB. I pulled mine there, fridge and then sliced. You still gotta cook it remember.......EH

If you take over that you might as well just slice it and eat it up? Why over cook it

Same color as my Bear loaf, except I Smoke that to at least 160°. We eat a lot of it cold, just like Beef Sticks.

Nice Job!!

Cured Smoked sausage recipes have final IT's 145 to 165 depending on where you look and the author. I have to wonder if according to Pasteurization temps, 140 for 12 minutes, 155 for 20 seconds or 165 for instant kill, all give the same result. What makes Cured Sausage/GFB, " Have " to go to 155?...JJ
