Kielbasa stix

[Keymaster]

I ground up a 7 pound pork butt and added 2 pounds of 80/20 GB and a Polish sausage mix from Hi-mountain.





Mixed everything up real good





I found one roll of 17mm collagen casing hiding in the corner of the top cupboard so decided to stuff half my mix in stix.



Then the other half I put in 34mm hog casings for tomorrows smoke when I will get to figure out how to program my new auber.



Into the smoker they go for a 1 hour dry sauna then comes 1 hour twenty minutes of Hickory smoke and so on until IT of 152°



I'll post the finished pics when we get to 152° F. :) :) :) Nap Time ;)

I am gonna be watchin for them finished pictures, really looks great...

[Keymaster]

Its gonna be about 4 more hours as we have about 20 mph winds right now and it's just killing the heat in the Bradley :) I have it set at 170°F and it will goup to 170° and drop right back down to 135° bringing the temp of the stix down each time then rising back up each time. We'll be using the Auber PID for tomorrows smoke for sure. ;D

Thats why I like having my smoker in the garage. No wind and close to the beer fridge  ;)

[Keymaster]

Their blooming in the garage now, I sliced them up and they are the best sticks I have made in the last year. I added 3 garlic cloves also.
