Hot dogs on a hot day

[boykjo]

Out of hot dogs so I Did another round. I also did some Italian sausage (not pictured yet) using Scott's recipe AKA alelover and some country sausage using two different recipe's. I used ryteks breakfast sausage recipe and was not impressed. They will be giveaways.....

It was hard keeping the temp down due to the 105 degree heat wave. With out the burner running I was at 120 degrees. These were smoked at 180. Didn't get any fat render but the were on the verge looking at the fat on the casings.... This time I used the 24-26mm casings. Much easier to stuff than the 22-24mm. I didn't like the larger size at first. they looked too big a round to be a hot dog but after they were smoked they firmed up and were a perfect size....

The long ones on the left is some of my country sausage

Thanks for looking

Joe

Looks good! A smoker full of sausage, what a beautiful sight. You sure ran through them last dogs quick. :sausage: I have only tried a few of Kutas' recipes myself, but so far not overly impressed.

Thanks Dave. The trap door gives me access to the pipe burner while smoking and it also helps with air flow to keep the burner lit at really low settings.. I dried the casings and cold smoked for a couple of hrs with 1 amnps and 2 amns's with apple

Great job on those dogs. I've never tried them before. On my list now.

Do you have a build thread on your homemade smoker?

Thanks

 

[bigkahunaranch]

Hot diggity dogs, them sure look nice.

Mmmmmm......... slap them on some homemade poppy seed rolls and go to town.

Like others have mentioned I too have not embarked on the hotdog making expedition.

I understand the meat has to be emulsified ???

Is there a thread with basic instructions ?

And what kind of casings are commonly used ?

Thanks for the QView !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[boykjo]

Did a double grind and used a small food processor to emulsify the meat. Did it in small amounts not to burn up the food processor.
