The V8 of Smoke Houses - Round Two

[Gamefish]

Well the plan evolved yesterday, that there is one thing i have never tried and that was making sausages

After a quick phone call the dunninghams the sausage casings arrived

Holy crap how many meters  :o ;D



So decided because the salami mixture has always been a hit, i got busy and thought 25kg should do it half normal mixture and half chicken and bacon



Now 3 hours into it and i am thinking to myself, holy **** when is this going to end  :o :D



Finally looked at all the buckets full of sausages and thought there is only one way to deal with this lot

so got up this morning and managed to fill the trusty smoker and has been slowly smoking/cooking all day





Now after a small taste test, somehow i think i have enough to last a while, ya think!  ;D

I will post up the end results tomorrow

Nice looking sausage.

When I use my Dakota stuffer, I find it extrudes faster then I can reposition the stuffed casings. Now I position it so the tube extends over the counter. Then I put a meat tub on a chair, and extrude the sausage in the tub. It naturally coils in the tub, and I don't have to stop as often to reposition the sausage.

Holy Crap thats a lotta casings, if you dont use them right away put them in a ziplock baggie and put them in the fridge so they dont dry out on you.

Looks like you could double that batch and still wouldnt fill up that V8 of yours.

Lookin good cant wait to see the finished product.

Do you do anything in a small way? :)

those boys from down under don't do anything small, It's "go big or go back to where you bloody well belong".

Here's some photo's of the finished product, was like building a mountain :D



And then vac packed for a rainy day, but being summer here, i don't think they will last that long ;)

Now that's a nice pile up.

[FLBentRider]

That is a nice looking bunch of sticks.

I'll be right over.  ;D

[KevinG]

Wow, looks good. Must have used some whole pepercorns, I can see something that looks like a black peppercorn in there.

[OU812]

Those sticks look great Gamefish.

Better make more cause I bet they dont last long.

Chicken/Bacon salami?

Squirtthecat here is the recipe we used, from the Bradley Website, all we did is replace beef with chicken, added some ground bacon ends and small amount of pork as a binder and oh yeah, heaps of peppercorns for that added kick ;D

To be honest this is the best recipe i have come across and is a hit down under here ;)

HS that doesn't seem right these things are the bee's knee's i just turn the tap on and off as i replace the casings and lightly turn it on to fill the casings evenly and not to quickly, to be honest best thing i have come across down here 8)

Amazing, great looking sausage!

And again, Nice V-8 smoker.

Did you have all three smokers on? Really couldn't tell as all the pans were clean.
