Tomorrow I begin the quest to make my first sausage and naturally I am going for andouille. I am going to mix and stuff the sausage tomorrow and allow them to hang in the frig to dry until Monday. Monday, My new DigiQ and I will attempt the smoking process.
I have put this off for so long because frankly I am really leery about it as my first feeble atempt was a miserable failure.
I figure if I post it on here and tell you all that I am going for it tomorrow I can't back out because you guys will bust me if I back out. ;D
Now we won't ;D. Good luck Larry, I'm sure it's gonna turn out great.
Side note: I had some popcorn last night with Jan's rub sprinkled all over it. Mmmmmmm!!

Larry, the fun is in the doing. You'll do fine.
You can doooo it!!!
Go for it! You'll do fine. In fact, if you go through with your sausage, I'll breakdown and finally post some pics of my feeble attempts.
Good luck!
I think a certain STC and I still have stuffers... in a box!!!
I think mine has become a table...

I finally loaned mine to a hunter at work. Who loaned it to another coworker!
good luck
You can do it! I use to help my late father make sausage so if I could do it I know you will hit a home run with it
Look at it this way. It's all good ingredients, so if the sausage goes wrong, break it down, stick it in a chilli and start again.
I speak from a little experience and a lot of chilli.
Good luck!!

Its a piece of cake Larry. You'll be hooked after the first batch. As long as you have a good recipe it will turn out fine. Heck if I can do it bout anyone can. ;D
Course my training and a few recipies were handed down from my grandfather & father.
You will do fine Larry. We all have faith in you!
Meat is mixed and hanging out in the frig until stuffing time. My first experience with hog casings is they stink and are a pain in the butt to separate. :) Soaking now.
Will hopefully be able to post a pic of successfully stuffed sausage later. :o
Heck Larry, get some Vicks Vapor rub and put a dab under each nostril if you think they stink. Works like a champ for stinky things. :o ;D
Must a done pretty good I haven't gotten any phone calls. How's about youse guys?
You go Larry!!
Well? How'd it turn out?

Happy with it for the first try.
great looking sausage
Larry
That is some fine looking sausage. Great job. I love the cut shot. It looks like it might be just a little hot!!
Yum. Very nice.

Thank you. It definitely has a zing to it but that's the way andouille is supposed to be.
You done yourself proud there Larry!
Great job on the sausage
