I did mine the night before then put in refrigerator with a paper towel in between each one. I forget which post suggested it, boy did that work great!

Got up early and put them in and smoked for 3 hours and left in the smoker til I had a internal temp of 135 then steamed them up to 151. done before noon.

I 've been down John's route, this way is much more fun!!

Looks great better send one to Nepas and myself for quality control.

Great looking sausage! I noticed there is no wrinkles or shrinkage. Do you contribute this to the steaming? I can never get sausage with that smooth surface. I mean..great looking sausage!

Tenpoint - I am humbled that you would want to be my quality control person, but my to sons have already took 4 each so I think i only got a couple left!!!! :D :D

JD - No wrinkles come from a number of things for me. Number one is to stuff the casing to the maximum, but when you do this you have the occasional explosion (casing breaks) and have to start over on the ring. Second is to cool them in Ice water immediately when you take them out of the steamer! I think maybe the steaming helps as the casing seems to shrink to the meat more, but I could be imagining that.

Your Kiebasa looks fantastic!! The ice water is the trick - you have to get the temperature down as fast as possible.

Again they look gre-e-e-a-a-t , nice job.
