Smokehouse Bologna

[NePaSmoKer]

Got 15 pounds of bologna smoking in the pellet fired smokehouse.

Got 5 pounds of pork.



Ground and going to cut in with 10 pounds of GB



Cure #1 added and mixed with 1 1/2 cup distilled water



Ready for mixing



Hanging at room temp for a couple hours. Just a tad over 2 1/4 lbs each.



Got the smoke rolling



Getting happy



I'm thinking on insatlling, 2 1500 watt electric elements, PID and a smoke generator to the smokehouse this spring. This will give me 3 ways to use the smokehouse.

I'm kinda liking that fancy Blooming Rack  :)  I saw those rubbermaid mixing tubs at Cabelas the other day for  about 8 bucks each and I'm kickin myself for not getting atleast two. I love a good Bologna, I'd like to see it sliced when its done Nepas  ;D

Yeah our cabelas has the gray and smaller white ones with lids. Pron friday when i cut it up. Got the clothes rack at Target for like $19, it comes apart and folds up.

Did you emulsify it or just stuff it as ground?

That sure looks mighty fine.  No other seasonings -- just Cure #1 ?

Blooming now.

Kinda disappointed in this batch. Not that they are bad, Its the casings i got a while back from the SM. No matter how tight i twist the ring end and even double ring, The end always loosens which results in the end wrinkling. I just dumped 25 new casing in the round file  :-\

Picky, Picky, Picky!

You could have round filed them to me.

I ain't so Picky. ;D

They look great!

I wouldnt do that to even a monkey, They really are POJ casings  :-\

Nepas I am working on a new supplier as you know. So far I am really pleased with the way they work. I will keep you updated. They don't look just to terrible hanging there. Remember Ole Pal we are our toughest critic!!

[NePaSmoKer]

Today is cut, taste and seal day for the bologna  ;D

Like stated before, I really dont like these SM casings.



Turned out really good.





Sealed and ready for FT BRAGG


See, sausage aint that hard to do  ;D
