Well today I put 10 lbs of kielbasa in the smoker.Used 7lbs buffalo and 3lbs pork. Sitting on the rack blooming now. Tried a piece when they came out really garlicky almost burnt my tongue. Wife had a good laugh, something about waiting to cool down, they may be hot. Honest I didn't hear her. ;) Really I didn't the waffling smell canceled my ears and better judgment out. ;D

Just in at 120 to dry out before smoking.

Looks great.
Recipe?
7 lbs buffalo, 3lbs pork trim.
roughly 2 cups cold water
3 oz corn syrup solids
6 tbsp salt
1 tbsp powdered dextrose
1 tsp marjoram
2 level tsp Prague #1
6 large garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
Didn't have any binder around so I used the corn syrup solids, what I used when I pickled a batch of the same stuff last week. Instead of the corn syrup the recipe says2 cups soy protein concentrate. I also used hog casings instead of collagen, just wanted to try casings. They went pretty easy.
hope this is some help.

Tasty looking indeed.
Wonderful job on those Kielbasas micman. Good to see that you don't always have to hang them but can use the baskets too.
Corn syrup solids is a binder, its just a sweeter than soy protine concertrate, but not much.
Looks mighty good from here!
