Smoked Game Hens & Venison Sausage

[oleolson]

Last weekend I smoked 4 cornish game hens and 4 1/2 lbs of bulk venison sausage. I brined the game hens overnight, seasoned and stuffed sliced sausage under the skin per Cowgirl's tip.

The bulk venison sausage was already pre seasoned/mixed so all I had to do was form it into balls. Also made some homemade mac & cheese but didn't get any pics of that.

Nice smoke, the sausage looks tastey and the birds have a nice color.

Everything looks great Ole! I'm going to have to try some of those meatballs using venison...thanks for the idea. :)

Thanks Cowgirl and grothe! The smoked venison sausage balls taste good cold or cut up and cooked in a pan with some water.
