Made a batch of the following...

I followed except the heat ... I cut the red pepper flakes in 1/2

So there is about 2 cups of meat left in the Lem. So I made a roll with plastic wrap and smoked it.

This was a test run on the smoke. I will smoke the other 5 links tomorrow.

Looks awesome. How did it taste? B
Like!

 

[zippy12]

B! thanks

This still kicks some heat!
Smoke flavor is spot on!
texture is good but could use more fat...

where did heat come from ... hummm

on a 10 scale .... this is a good 7 and for the first try I say not bad

Looking good.

Question thou. Why so much meat left in the stuffer? My cheap stiffer leaves very little.

 

[zippy12]

I get meat left in the 90 degree bend at the bottom and then whats left in the stuffing tube. I could run rice to move out the rest, but it gives the family taste test so I have accepted it...

this is the model... I got it for 225.00 as a floor display.

So I did 6 inches of hickory pellets for about 2.5 hours temp got to 109F
Then I lit the UDS charcoal basket and let that temp climb to 210F
total time 4 hours before reaching 155F internal temp.
The casing did keep the juices in the meat...

Rest till cooled down
Put in fridge tonight
Freezer tomorrow if they all make it...

Nice job Zippy, I haven't attempted any kind of sausage making yet. Hopefully in the near future.

Point for sure.
