Title: Made some Curt dogs today.
Post by: Sailor on October 09, 2011, 03:29:45 PM
Made up 5 pounds of OU812 hotdogs and they don't suck at all.  I used 2 1/2 pounds of 80/20 beef and 2 1/2 pork butt.  Followed his recipe except I cut down the salt to 4 tsp.  I was a bit light on the nonfat milk as I only had 2 oz left in my pack but it was almost 1 cup.  The flavor is very good.  My wife gave a thumps up which is a nice complement.  I smoked for 2 hours using Hickory.  I am thinking that Pecan might be a better smoke for them.

I will be making these again.  My links were a bit over 6 inches using 32mm cellulose casings.  I got 19 dogs from the batch.  The links finish weight was around 4.1 to 4.4 oz.  I did the Kirby double tie and did not have any slipped knots.

Curt I do want to thank you for sharing your recipe.  You have a winner my friend.

All mixed up
