smoke for breakfast

[in. pred]

i rolled three more sausage logs yesterday. testing different flavors again. this is addicting stuff. lol i had several friends mention cracked black pepper going good in these. so i made one with corse ground black pepper. i wondered about beer instead of water so one gotthat treatment. the third i replaced the water with dales and also added red pepper for kick. the plan was to add pepper jack to the beer one but i had to run to store for plastic wrap and forgot to put the cheese in that roll. o well next weekend maybe. lol

tossed them in the smoker this morning to start the day off rite! after getting them tucked in the sauna it was time for breakfast. i smoked a deer roast yesterday for dinner. i sliced it thin and spread it on a plate. i added chunks of pepper jack cheese on top and popped it in the nuker. breadless philly cheese steak deal. i knew that it would be good but wow i could have had another plate of that! it hit the spot.

brined 24hrs smoked to 135 and wrapped to rest.

pulled them from the smoker after 2 hrs to finish temping in the oven at 115. tooth pics are for ID purposes.

you can see the dales log is darker though.


to end this day of smoking i am smoking my sons wild turkey breasts we got opening morning! been in brine 2 days. ill be pulling that out to dry in fridge 2hr before smoking. it will be a smoke filled 24hours at the end of the day.

You are energetic! Nice looking logs. A lot of meat. You must have a good number of hungry mouths around.

thanks guys! energetic, dang ill get my wife to read this. lol im just playing around and sharing it around. besides without all the preservatives in it you can safely eat more rite? haha

all the logs turned out good. the flavors i added were there but slight.

the beer log, you can smell a hint of beer. the beer taste doesnt hit me till the after taste. she could taste beer rite away and more so in the middle of the slice.

the coarse ground pepper log just needs a bit more pepper to pop. that was my wifes favorite one. she said "that tastes like pepper ridge farms sausage there". ill take that as compliment.

the dales and red pepper log was a bit strong on the dales imo. couldnt taste the red pepper in it either. maybe leave the dales to burgers n steaks. just more red pepper next time.

son requested a teriyaki log mix. so thats the next flavor adventure. probably later in the week. i need to get some dehydrated peppers to put in these yet too.

what flavor would you make?
