I bought a backwoods smoker yesterday. It was used and about 5 years old but in great shape. Got a good deal on it also. I think it's going to be a huge step up from my brinkman trail master for long cooks. I've never used a water pan or deflector in my smokers before so it will be a learning experience.
Well of course I had to try it out and get right to smoking in it. My wife has been craving smoked sausage and cabbage, so that's what's on the menu today.. I picked up a couple packages of rope sausage and cabbage from the grocery store last night.
The cabbage is very simple to put together, and one head will feed a lot of people.. I shred and chop the head, put it in a foil pan, chop onions to go in, a stick of butter, beer broth, beer of your choice, seasonings of your choice, and strips of bacon. So easy to make but man is this a good side dish.
Rope sausage is just fresh sausage from the store, threw on some of jeffs rub. Into the smoke until it reaches temp and "snaps" for text test. Don't really remember how long it takes but somewhere around 4-5 hours
