Cracker Size Pepperoni

[NePaSmoKer]

Had 2 lbs of 80/20 in the freezer so i made up some pepperoni mix. Did the mix yesterday so the pepperoni was fridge all night.








Getting ready for smoke i realized  HEY I done packed up the casings  :o

Ok no worries then i gotta improvise.

Rolled into fatty size.



Now a frogmat to keep em together  ;D







In at 200 for an IT of 155-160 with hickory.

Sounds great.  Saw that frogmat trick on an earlier post somewhere.  What a smart idea to keep them round.

OK, newbie question. Did you add cure or can you cook it at 200 because you don't have casings?

BTW, Thanks and happy traveling!

Well i normally use cure #1 but need to use up some opened MTQ (hate MTQ) so i added 2 tsp. Started at 180 for an hour then finished 7 hours at 200. Casings dont mean you need to use cure. Cure is for low starting temps from 80-150.




Flip the rack over and cool. No need to bloom here.

;D I like it!

Looks good!   MTQ is convenient, but yeah...   Lots of other salty gunk in it.

Now that really looks good, when are we going to slice it ..?

[Bigbirdoffroad]

Thanks Nepas, I didn't realize I can make peperoni at high temps. Probally awsome sliced with provalone cheese, roasted red peppers and some pepperoncini peppers on a loaf of Itialian bread. Kind of like an antipasto salad!!!!

I was scrolling through the new post and saw the last picture, I thought to myself who the hell smoked a ear of corn and why would they ship it to somebody. Then I scrolled up and saw it was Nepas and pepperoni not corn :) Looks excellent!!
