Title: First Salami in now
Post by: MRH on February 02, 2008, 07:33:03 AM
Made some venison salami/summer sausage from a Eastman kit. It is in the Bradley as I speak. I added some hi temp cheese to it and some jalepeno's to part of it too. I have 15 lbs hanging in there so it could be a long day.  I just hope it turns out since this is my first time trying this.

Nice looking so far Mark.
I'll be doing some beef jerky today and slim jims tomorrow.  The slim jims will by my second shot at stuffing as I did beef sticks two weekends ago.

Mark;
That really looks good. I'll also will be monitoring this thread carefully. That makes the chicken, and chicken wings that I will be making tomorrow awfully bland.

Just finished them and had to cut one to try, it wasn't too bad! ;) Ok here is what I did.  I preheated the smoker and put them in at 140 degrees.  Let them go 30 minutes to dry, then put in 4 hours worth of hickory pucks in and let the smoke roll.  After the 4 hours was up, I dumped the water bowl and bumped the temp up to 175 degrees. After another 4 hours I pushed the temp up to 200 degrees and right around 12 hours total time they were hitting 152 -155 degrees, out they came.  I gave them a ice water dunk to cool them.  So here is a picture of the one I tried.

Looks good Mark . I've used the high temp cheese from LEM. worked well. In what form did you use the
jalepeno's ? We've been trying to build heat in our summer sausage...but always come up short. ???
Sausage turns out great , but hardly any heat. I mix 15pd batches. Let me know your results.

Mark thanks for posting the method you used. The finished product looks good.

Still can't wait until I hear about how Mike's comes out.

Coyote,

I haven't tasted a jalapeno one yet, but I used the pickled ones from a jar.  I have a feeling I might be a bit light on them too.  I just chopped up about half of the jar (They were listed as hot on the label) I did a 15 lbs batch, all of it had a pound of cheese mixed in then I stuffed 2 with only cheese.  And added the jalapeno,s for the rest.  I will let you know when I try  one with jalapenos.

Woooo, NICE! A friend of mine dropped off some beef sticks with pepper-jack cubes in them. WOW! Definitely have to try some meat/cheese combos real soon.
