Second Butt turned into Hot Link mix

[padronman]

So I got 2 Butts in the package. 15 lbs total and after de-boning and trimming away the nasty stuff I got a pretty good yield (I think) of 6lbs of Andouille and 7 lbs of hot link mix ready to stuff.

Both are in the fridge resting overnight and I will stuff and smoke em tomorrow. I'll try a bit in a pan to see if all is tasty and if all is good I will post the recipes that I formulated. I am keeping a journal so I know just how much of everything I used. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

The smell on both is amazing.....can't wait to get to the eating part.....although I know that's a little ways off.

Lookin good Pman! Anxious to see how it all turns out, but I'll have to see it when I return from my family fishing trip. Just keep every thing COLD and you will be fine. I like to put the second grind through when I can see ice crystals in the mix and the individual pieces are hard. Break them up a little and drop in the grinder-no need for the stuffing plunger.

Also-don't over fill the casing if you plan on twisting into links. Takes some practice to do this by feel, but you will get the hang of it.

Def want to see how it ends. Can you share instructions on how to do This? I got a meat grinder and I'm just aching to use it.

Is this batch being ignored? Maybe a bigger smoker is required? :sausage:
