Taking my new Amnps for a spin!

I got my stuff from Todd yesterday, and I figured why not try it out. So I stopped on the way home and I bought a butt and a hank of casings. I have been wanting to try this a while now. My casings are around 30mm, and the butt was 8lbs.

I ground the butt through a coarse plate, then mixed with the appropriate amount of Leggs #25, and added some red pepper. Next I stuffed into links.

Last night at midnight I took it out to the mes and cold smoked it all night

Looks good so far.

What was the Leggs seasoning mix you used for these?

I'm assuming it contained cure#1, or that you added it to the mix before the cold smoke.

Good lookin' sausages.

Leggs #25

No cure in this sausage, cold smoke stayed around 35 degrees. So, unless I'm mistaken, no need for cure since it never hit 40. I wanted a smoked sausage that was still raw, that way I can just toss it under the broiler and go. The taste was out of sight, although I didn't take any cooked pics, will do tomorrow. When I pulled the sausage this morning, I cranked her up to cook off a piece of kippered salmon, and rolled right into jerky when that was done. Photos to follow once I get home, chopping fire wood now!

this is when I pulled the fillet, thanks to Dave omack for the recipe.

I cooked it to 140 it, and It came out very juicy, and chocked full of flavor. In the future I will try to cut back on the salt, it came out very salty, but will still be good, as long as it is cut with cream cheese.

And here is a sneak peak of the jerky, AC Leggs marinade, maple smoke, on strips from a bottom round roast that was bogo at the local grocery this week.
