picked up 40lbs of pork

[dbondy]

Its been busy around here, ground up 40lbs of butt roast. First batch of sausage was 15lbs of kolbasa made with a HM kit with some extra spices added. The secound batch was 25 pounds of brawts also made with a HM kit. I,ll post some pics later.

Here are the pics of the kolbasa, the HM kit does a great job. This is the 4th time I'v used it for kolbasa and it came out great again, I just added exta garlic,black pepper,red pepper flakes and some cayanne. I also used 1.5 x 12 inch fiberous casings that I already had on hand. I like to use these casings because they fit well in the OBS.







I'll post the pics of the brawts in another posting.

Great looking Sausage.

That 1 1/2 x 12 has become my favorite casing also.

Thanks again guys, I can,t keep my wife away she loves this batch 2 lbs already gone. ;D Just put 2 pork bellies in a maple and ham cure to smoke next week, the cure is from the sausage maker so I'm curiouse to see how it turns out. I'll post the pics and results in the curing section when its done.

Good job, but I have a warning.
If she tastes that bacon from the sausagemaker mix, she will be really hard to keep out if it!
I was very happy with the results.
Good luck,
Jim

Do you have to rotate the casings during the smoking process??

[dbondy]

I try to rotate the chubs around every 1.5 hours to cook more evenly.
