Smoking Fanatic
Sonny, I don't use S hooks to hang sausages while smoking. . . reason why I don't use them is becouse with SHooks two sausage (in pair) would stick togeter close to hook and I would end up with unsmoked white spots.. to ensure uniform smoking and drying I use 3/8" hardwood sticks and 1/2" casing twist lenght between sausages...for air cure it is just a regular steel 1/8 hooks..I donno Inda... the way things are going, we just might be.
Dernek,
Thank you so much for sharing your Family Sausage Recipe. It will be tried.
I'm going to have to use refrigeration, because it rarely gets below freezing here. (0° C)
I'm thinking you use natural casings? And may I ask what guage are your hanging S-hooks?
As long as your temp environment, while processing stays below 5 deg C youre good... 5 deg C is upper temp before I start freaking out.... I am sure that others process theor meat at higher temps but I like to stay in safe temp zone....
