Sausage idea or not?

[wes w]

Ok, so we got a inch of sleet last night so I get to sit at home and let my mind wonder.  (Wife says that's not a good thing.....)

Has anyone ever tried to put there pork rub into a sausage?   For some reason,  I think this would be an outstanding sausage!   If so, how would be the best way to go about it?   Smoked, fresh, aged?

Thoughts please

I've done it with good results.
You'd want to know the salt content of the rub you're using as some are heavy with salt and it could really spoil it for ya
Fresh sausage is good around 1%-1.5% salt and spices about the same.
To smoke it add some nitrite and bump the salt and spice up to 2%

I make plain ground pork patties and sprinkle the rub somewhat heavy on the top, while frying or smoking them and the rub "melts" into the patty, then I flip. Yummy stuff! Only way my dad makes his sausage patties now. I just sent him 2 lbs of rub!
