Sneek Peek .....

[deejaydebi]

Been a busy day and still so much to do. I shouldn't have stayed up all night chatting! Ergh ... I'm ready for a nap! I smoked with just apple to have a mild flavor to compare the sausages - used hickory with apple woods after they were done.

Anyway here's a sneek peek about what I'm up to today. Not everything will be smoked today some just need to be brined and packaged or just brined for further processing tomorrow.

Pictures are as follows:

1 Todays meat in the works - 2 17 pound turkeys for smoked turkey rolls, 2 15 pound pork bellies for pancetta and bacon, 11 pound Boston butt for pulled pork, 10. pound brisket (flat for slicing and point for burnt ends), gimmie Lean sauage is an all vegtable sausage that's supposed to taste like Jimmy Dean - it's amazingly good and very close to Jimmy Deans sage sausge. And the Jimmy Deans Hots for the ABTs and snacks.

2 sausage on the left is the Gimmie Lean brand and on the right is Jimmy Dean Hot. The most immediate difference I noted was not the taste but lack of grease. As a said it's very close to Jimmy Dean sage.

3 A boston Butt

4 a brisket separated into flat and point with the good fats and bad fat removed. The good fat I save for later adding to beef sausages.

I also have 3 trays of Crisp-X mix with almonds and ABTs going but didn't get pictures going in.

More to come ....

Ron -

I had you in mine when I spotted this stuff and ran the test with apple wood and no rub. Apple doesn't add alot of flavor so I could really taste the the two sausages and any difference. Not much difference - I really like it. I costs about the same but it is a bit smaller than the Jimmy Dean. It doesn't shrink much though.

It's in the heathy section at WalMart I don't know about other stores - first time I saw it. I will buy it again!


RIP-
Not feeding an Army getting ready for Christmas. Sausage, Smoked turkey luncjmeats, bacon, pancetta and salami will be my Christmas presents. I always make something - usually food products for presents. My family and friends are always excited to see what I did this year. They almost always know what types of things I'm making because I spend the year practicing to get it just right - they just never know exactly what their getting.

Not done yet though - still have the burnt ends. I promised D88de and Ed I would make them today and make a tutorial on my website for them.

I'll do the pancetta and smoked turkey tomorrow I'm beat!


Bill -

That just pops up. I'm not sure where it comes from but it has to do with how many posts you have. Nearing the status of a smoke God is the last one - I forget how many posts you have to have to get that status. I thank you for the complement but I am still learning too!



Richoso -
I have unfriendly neighbors who don't speak english except my buddy Jose. With the casinos here and so close people are always moving in and out and don't like to get friendly. One of my neighbors next door thinks I should be whipped in shame because I use power tools and wear pants. He beat his wife because I spoke to her without his permission one day. I just wanted to give them some pulled pork. Scarey guy!



OKay update!

Here what I pulled next

1 three trays of hot and spicy crisp-x mix with almonds

2 point cut ready to cut into pieces for burnt ends - not done yet!

3 a few ABTs cuz I found Jalepinos!
