Everything looks great!! Hope those extra hots don't melt the casings!!! I guess if they don't you'll know your intestines can handles them too!!! I'm gearing up to make sausages as soon as I get back from vacation!

Thanks guys!  I think I'm gonna cook the first couple nice & slow - seems to really bring out the heat

And right or wrong here's what it looks like. I don't really know if you can describe a sausage as "smooth" but that's the first word that came to mind when I tasted it. I believe I'm really going to enjoy this

Looks excellent!

 

[shannon127]

Looks real good

The Krakowska/Kielbasa or whatever the correct term for that mix in hog casing is, looks great. Smooth is a perfect description...JJ

Face Melters sound like a challenge :0

Dave

Easy to make - the challenge would be for a "normal" person to eat one. I will be eating a couple soon & sure hope they are as hot as I want them to be! 

 

[smoking b]

Ahhhhhhh !!! ....  The perks of working at home....  

 ... I'm in.... 

Hey Dave - yes there sure are some perks 

  although it comes with its own set of uncertainties as well - trade offs I guess would be the best way to put it...

Very nice!

Thanks Martin!

Here is the Linguica. I put it in the smoker this morning before I went down to my shop.

B If you used Shannon's recipe I am confident the Krakowska is great. I have had it a couple times and look forward to making some next month...JJ
