Nilgai Summer Sausage w / cheese & jalapenos Q-View

[bobdog46]

Made a batch of Summer Sausage with 7 lbs of Nilgai & 3 lbs pork. I used the Hi-Mountain seasoning and cure, then added cracked red pepper, jalapenos, & cheddar cheese. Came out delicious.

  Now THAT'S what I'm talkin about!  Great looking sausage.  How long did you smoke it and what temp?

First had the smoker at about 130 for an hour - Then up to 160 and started the smoke for about 2 hrs - then to 180 w/ smoke for 4 hrs. I bumped the temp to 200 without smoke for 1 hour- that is when I got an internal meat temp of 160.  I then put the sausage in an ice water bath for a rapid cool down and then dried the outside of the sausage. I cut the stuff in to package size chunks for vacuum sealing and freezing.
