Taint Football Season Butt

[BGKYSmoker]

I gotta use these up before they get dry.

Making 2.5 lbs of Summer Sausage footballs.

My cannon at the ready.

These are natural hog stomach sewn together to make little footballs. Each one will hold around 1 1/4lb unless you stuff them tight like i did the one. You might be saying how much them foosballs.....Like $8.50 ea

Even with lacings.

The casings are salted so i keep em vac sealed. The paper towel is in there to catch any salt or moisture from getting into the seal area.

Going in the fridge tonight and getting heavy hickory smoke tomorrow. Might go into the smokehouse with them. Prob looking at around 12 to 18 hrs.

Gotta love them footballs.  Go Big Red.  For you I guess it would be Go Big Blue?

Good luck and good smoking.

Can't wait to see the finished product. I saw those casings in the Sausage Maker catalog.

These are all beef summer sausage.

Yup thats where i get em at. I try not to stay in there long when the owner lady is there, she likes to give me the 3rd* about smoking and being safe. Ya like i'm major competition for them.

I was getting the smokehouse ready for the SS Footballs and looked all over for my HD extension cord and it seems someone needed it more than me.

So i had to use my backup.

What was the highest temp you got them to?

 Also what is the lowest temp the smoker you used can go to?

Looks like they played a tough game. Probably against the SeaHawks and got there Butts Kicked.

Go Seahawks
