Kielbasa

[crazymoon]

I needed some grill food so decided on some smoked kiebasa. Grabbed a pork butt at the going rate of 1.99/lb around here.

Cut it up for grinding.

I used the Mariansky recipe of salt,pepper,marjoram, sugar and garlic w/cure #1

I stuffed into 35-38 mm casings

Then into the smoker for some air drying time before slowly bumping the temp up to 170*. It took about 7 hours to get an IT of 154*

They came out and hit the snowbank until the IT was 115* and then a bloom and were delicious! Thanks for looking ! CM

Wow do those look good! I just bought my first smoker and I'm definitely looking forward to reaching this level! Great job man, I'm sure they were worth all the time and effort.

TN, You only need a stuffer and casings to get started,your local butcher will grind pork for you. You will be amazed how easy it is and the end product is usually(:)) fabulous!

I just Googled the Mariansky recipe and came up empty. Could you please post the ratios of spices you used? This looks very much like it's worth making but I'd rather not do it by trial and error if I can avoid it :-)

Thank you!!

I see you used fresh garlic, I typically used granulated garlic and have wondered how much flavor I am sacrificing. My wife also keeps a jar of minced garlic in a juice in the fridge that I have considered trying some time.

JI, I have used the above 3 types and they all seem to work well .
