Got butts on sale at piggly wiggly for 1.19 per lb.. great deal! Was worried they were small but the bones were small too so I didnt lose a lot of weight in bones

[thoseguys26]

Joe! Who or where do all these sausages you make all the time go to??!! 

They look great! Tube smokers are on my list. I haven't tried pellets yet, just dust.

 

[smoking b]

Sweet! That's a lot of awesome food there 

 

[roller]

[boykjo]

Well the Weather was so crappy last night with the cold, wind,rain,and the mud I decided to let the meat hang in the smoker over night. Its 4 am and 34 degrees out and everything outside has Iced up. I'll reload my tube smokers and fire up the smoker at daybreak......

Curious about the multiple Smokes...Why?...JJ

 

[woodcutter]

Now that is a smoker full of sausage!  I have been thinking about hot dogs since Shoneyboy's thread. After seeing these pictures, I need to go to Sam's club and buy some meat.

 Trying to get some more color to the casings

 

[boykjo]

Hot dogs are out... Everything is looking good with a nice color from the tube smokers

hot dogs out at 140 taking then to a 180 hot water bath to an IT of 160

This is a rare occasion I twisted the sausages, I usually take the time ad tie because I like everything uniform. Twisting saves on time though.......
