I started with one of Nepas' Secret Summer Sausage recipes, I had everything but corn syrup solids so I opted for Corn syrup in it's replacement.

8 pounds of ground beef 80/20 and 2 pounds of ground pork.

All mixed up

I stuffed them in 1-1/2" X 24" fibrous casings and had to tie my own strings which I did not like, I'll buy prestrung ones next time.

More to follow ;D
Looks good so far Aaron.
Suggestion get you some 1x2 board to sit on the top rack to raise the sausage up so the bottoms don't get burnt
Nice SS Aron
Love them secret receipts ;D

I hear yah Chris, I already had to retie all the strings twice to get them shorter, as soon as the smoke stops I'll toss in a couple boards. Thanks for the great Idea!!!
Oh yeah and hog ring pliers along with hog rings are real good friends when making summer sausage!!
Really nice Aaron, just a good lookin job on the sausage, will be some good eatin when finished...
Got them all done, I took them to 155° F IT and then gave them a ice bath and took the IT Temp down to 90° F and now there in the Garage watching all my junk Bloom ;D It was a 8-1/2 hour smoke total.
