Venison Red Barn /Cheddar SS Round #2

[Winterrider]

Time for round 2 of Red Barn Summer Sausage.
Switching it up slightly going with cheddar instead of pepperjack.
7# venison
5.5 # pork butt
Red Barn Seasoning/cure for 12.5# ( Owens )
Amesphos 1/8 to 1/2 tsp per # of meat
2 cups ice /garlic water
3 tbls mustard seed ( all I had )
Shredded cheddar 1#
Muslim bags (4 )
Pork and venison sliced for grinder

Just used the KA grinder for this small batch

Mixed ingredients, fry test ( good ) , added cheese, mixed again. Stuffed in soaked muslim bags ( thanks @chopsaw / @SWFLsmkr1 ) and fridged overnight.

Smoke day, -3° slight breeze.
Smoker heated to 200° and settled back in at 140°
Sterilize thermometers and sausage ready to go

After 1 hr , added tray with LJ maple / hickory / cherry pellets ( microwaved )
Temp bumped to 150°
1 hr bumped to 160°, quite cool out so bumped to 165°
5 hrs in temps looking good

Temp of sausage to 145°, held for 45 mins.
Total time this go-around was a little over 8 hrs ( because of colder temps and wind )
Let cool, and fridge overnight.

Peeled bags off and started slicing

Vacmaster 360

Round 2 complete

@Winterrider, what do you like about muslin bags instead of the typical cellulose?

That maybe about all the longer it does last. We go through a lot and I give to some friends.

Thanks. . .
Dang cold temps with heat running heavily, hard to keep decent humidity in the house. 1 full container every night.

Man looks phenomenal! I gotta try that someday.

Thanks Jeff, one of the easier sausages to make actually.

@Winterrider, what do you like about muslin bags instead of the typical cellulose?

Muslim bags can be packed tighter and they take on smoke better.

Man that looks so good!

Thanks Brian. . .

That looks delicious. The amount of AmesPhos has a pretty big spread, what amount did you use? And did you dissolve it in your garlic water?
