Good for you!  They are time consuming and a lot of wait time, but they are certainly worth the effort.

[BGKYSmoker]

Going to get a late start on the smoking cuz i gotta go up to Mt Pocono.

I heard somewhere that you make them sausages flat so they won't roll off the kitchen counter.  Rich, when your up at Mt. Pocono, stay out of the Croc store. I fear that if you go in there, it's going to cost you some bucks. LOL

Fridge (cold) tightens the meat under the press so they stay the shape.

In early this morning. Had a lone wolf so i just looped and tied the casing to hang.

 

[daggerdoggie]

Okay, that makes sense.

Looking good!

 

[michael ark]

Looks great as always.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Getting close to pulling. Next is the long hanging dry time.

 

[africanmeat]

It looks great i can feel the taste in my mouth

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Sanitized the entire area with bleach water before hanging.

Pulled from smoker and hanging at 4pm.

Got my humidifier and fan going.Temp is 70.4* and falling, R/H is 66%. Now the wait to reduce the green weight of the LJ. I'm thinking 3-4 weeks.

OK, now I'm startin' to get the picture. Keep 'em flat in the fridge overnight. Then put the smoke to 'em for a few hours. If I would be guessing to IT of 'bout 155-160. Then let 'em hang in the shower with a humidifier goin' for 'bout 3-4 weeks. How much green weight reduction do you look for before you call 'em done? Now the all important question is, do you have another shower? Man, I hope so, otherwise you gonna get real "RIPE" after 3-4 weeks!
