Never heard of Poli's recipes, do you have link to the site?   This recipe came from a brine that I worked on for about a year that I used for Treager smoked pork loins, I just added the cure and tried to estimate the seasonings for sausage..  The sample I fried up last night tasted pretty good so it should make for an interesting hot link...

Yeah, me too...   I'm digging that Pastrami.   I love the stuff, but can't find anything decent around here.

Those look like they turned out Awesome. What flavor of smoke did you apply? I am assuming you took them to 152* IT during the smoke. If not how long did you smoke them for?

Thanks

I used apple for a more mild smoke...  I dried at 130 for 45 min, then 150 for 2 hours with smoke and 165 for 2 hours with smoke, then they took another 6 hours at 165 to reach an IT of 152, a little longer than I thought it would take but worth the wait. I pulled them out at 1am and dunked them in an ice bath, air dried and vacc packed them..

Sounds about right. I made the Hot Links from Poli's site, I admit I forgot to add the hot sauce (Long story) but for a fresh sausage they were great, perfect for on the grill. Give them a whirl, they are warm but not firehouse.

Do you remember which one you did? I noticed there are about 3 or 4 hot link recipes on his site...
