Ground up 15lbs of pork this morning for some smoked kielbasa.

15 lbs boneless pork butt.


Ground up



Mix for the kielbasa



All mixed by hand.



Ready for the BJT 1" stuffer tube  ;D



Poke the hole in the end of the 32mm collagen caseings with my 8 cent poker  ;D



Here are the 32mm hanging to dry some. I knew them big giant phone books would come in handy for something   :D



Ran out of 32mm so i did some small 19mm ones too.



In the smoker on the sticks.



2 cups of apple pellets will smoke for 1 hour 40 mins.



20 mins later and the smoke is rolling and the IT of the smoker is 152*




Now i just wait for the IT of the kielbasa to get to temp.

Looks great as usual NePas!

Question:

Do you spend time cutting the sinew etc out of the pork shoulder or do you chop and go ?

I bet Kiki was not happy that you put the chairs on the table to hang the sausages.  ;)

They look great, glad to see the new smoker working so well.

I just chop n go. Most of the time there are now tendons or veins.  The boneless is just about perfect meat to fat ratio.

Time is 1:26 am EST

The 19mm kielbasa stix are done now blooming. The 32mm have about another hour. The outside temp dropped so its taking longer.


Sorry for the lopsided pic I whooped  ;D  Dont feel like doing a cold rinse so they are going to shrivel, its ok gives em balance  ;D

Rick, did you put powdered milk in to help control the shrinkage? They look great, I never thought of doing kielbasa snack sticks, another thing on my to do list.  LOL, I'm not even married and have a long to do list.  ;D
