Title: Summer Sausage 16 lbs
Post by: classicrockgriller on February 16, 2011, 12:22:14 PM
Made 16 lbs of Hi Mountain Summer Sausage.

8 lbs of reg and 8 lbs with added jalapeno and cheese.

The casings were 1 1/2 by 20. I re ringed the open end

then split them in half. Gave me (24) 3/4lb chubbies.

About 5 hours into the smoke including dry time.

Summer Sausages are getting 2 hrs 40 minutes of Pecan.

Normal casings are 1 1/2 x 12. These were 1/12 x 20 and I got them at Allied Kenco.

www.alliedkenco.com

Just rotated the SS and took a reading on 8 different Sausages. (2 from each rack)

They all read 121*. This smoker has no fan but sure cooks even.

These are the casings.

http://www.alliedkenco.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/32_227/products_id/2984

You probably can buy 1 1/2 x 12" locally.

I ringed and put a knotted loop on the open end of the casing while it was still

dry with 3/8 hog rings. I then split them in half. These are fiborious casing and

have to be soaked in warm water for approx an hour before stuffing.

Stuffed them with approx 3/4 lb of stuffing and hog ring the open end again.

No hanging string this time.

I forgot to take these out and let run up to room temp, so I used a longer dry time.

I went 2 hrs at 120* with no smoke, 2 hrs at 130* no smoke. 3 hrs at 140* smoke applied

2 hrs at 150*, 2 hrs at 160*, then went to 170* till sausage reached 152* and that was at

3 this morn. Gave then a cool water bath to bring down the IT and a cpl hours to dry and

finish the bloom.

Here Curt! ;D

On the 8lbs with Cheese and Jalapeno, I used 15 oz of reg. Coldby Jack cheese

and a McCormick bottle of dried dice Jalapeno. It probably needed more Jalapeno

and a little less cheese, but it is still good. This was also a dbl grind which I had

never done before.

I cut them 1/8 to 1/4 cubes. Probably need to do a better job of separating/mixing them.

I am still Happy.

Wifey will love it for Pizzas.
