Smoked Corned Beef Sausage?

[lathechips]

Can raw corned beef be ground up, stuffed into casings, & cold smoked? And cooked up later? Do I need a cure? Can it be stuffed, hot smoked like a summer sausage or pepperoni stick?

You do not need any more cure,the corned beef is cured.I made some brats but I didn't smoke them.

I have 2 pastrami's in the SV right now, after 6 hours of smoke.
I do 24 hours at 155, then refrigerate them & slice the next day.
I may just grind one up & make some brats.

This weekend I tried to go big and make an entire Pastrami Reuben in sausage form... Kraut, russian dressing, rye bread all in the mix. Epic fail though...too much acid and liquid broke the bind and made the sausage mushy/crumbly. Richie @tropics when you made this, did you squeeze as much of the liquid out of the corned beef as possible before grinding it?
