Summer Sausage

Keymaster · August 07, 2011, 10:20:12 AM

I started with one of Nepas' Secret Summer Sausage recipes, I had everything but corn syrup solids so I opted for Corn syrup in it's replacement.

8 pounds of ground beef 80/20 and 2 pounds of ground pork.

All mixed up

I stuffed them in 1-1/2" X 24" fibrous casings and had to tie my own strings which I did not like, I'll buy prestrung ones next time.

Into the smoker and ready for some Pecan smoke today.....

More to follow ;D

Looks good so far Aaron.

Suggestion get you some 1x2 board to sit on the top rack to raise the sausage up so the bottoms don't get burnt

I hear yah Chris, I already had to retie all the strings twice to get them shorter, as soon as the smoke stops I'll toss in a couple boards. Thanks for the great Idea!!!

Oh yeah and hog ring pliers along with hog rings are real good friends when making summer sausage!!

Got them all done, I took them to 155° F IT and then gave them a ice bath and took the IT Temp down to 90° F and now there in the Garage watching all my junk Bloom ;D It was a 8-1/2 hour smoke total.
