SmokinEdge's Hot Links heat level?

[SherryT]

I can eat raw cayennes like candy and I love jalapenos, but my tolerance for "hot" stops there.

While I know taste/heat tolerance is subjective, can someone give me an idea where are these hot links on that scale...cayenne, jalapeno, or above?

I'd like to make a test batch tonight, omit the SE, rest them overnight in the fridge, and smoke tomorrow.

Thanks!

I'm new to (using) the website and not sure how to find that recipe. Can you post?

Been down a couple of rabbit holes with the 3DP, cheesemaking, and then started knitting again last fall.

Now it's time for meat!

It's not mine to post, but if you do a search by member (SmokinEdge) and hot links I'm sure you'll find it.

I've done that and it doesn't show up. I see this thread and "nuclear hot links" then a bunch of other random threads. I thought maybe I was searching in the wrong spot.

Scroll down the search results and find "Hot Links"...it's post#6 in that thread.

I know from getting advice from Eric SmokinEdge that he uses finely ground up Arbol chiles. I grind them in a coffee grinder and add about 3g to the mixture. They are a little hotter than cayenne, but the heat doesn't hang around. Hope this helps, but I've tagged him so maybe he'll chime in and correct me...

Edit to correct my amount from 3% to 3g...

Hot Links

My hot links look Hot! Still really to warm to smoke but workable early in the morning. So I did a small batch of hot links yesterday for tonight’s supper. This was just 4# of pork and beef, I gave 4 links to friends yesterday, came out with 15 links total so very close to 1/4 pound a piece...

They are “warm” but not melt your face off HoT. In that recipe the all in Chile is 3g/pound which is on the hotter side but still around 5-6g/kg which is my limit on most any spice. They are good and won’t disappoint as a “hot link” but certainly not nuclear heat level. Let me know how you like them.

Thanks. I must just be an idiot because I still don't see a recipe when I click that link. I see the pictures, but no recipe. I might be shamed out of here pretty quickly at this rate.
