My first SS...kinda different

[smoke em if you got em]

I've been wanting to try making summer sausage for a while now. Found some interesting casings online and figured I'd give it a shot.


8lbs GB
2lb pork

mixed with this and ready for an overnight chill in the fridge


Next day got the casings soaking in warm water while I get the stuffer ready


mixed in 2 tbsp ECA right before stuffing for a little extra "tang"

ready to stuff


stuffed and tied




stuffed 5 of these little critters. Let them setup overnight in the fridge


started at a temp of 150 for an hour(no smoke applied to these) then slowly ramped temp up to 170 and held until IT of 152. Overall cook took about 8 hours.
Gave them a cold shower to stop the cooking process


then back in the fridge overnight

all done and ready for taste test


money




They are really good.

Got them here. http://www.naturalcasingco.com/customserv.html

Their website is pretty sparse. Just a brochure to look at. I placed my order over the phone.

That is awesome!! Thanks for the link.

Your welcome. They have a minimum order of 10 casings. Product arrived within a few days. No problems. Real easy to deal with just wish I can order online

I like the casings and I bet my grandkids would love those. Great idea and thanks for the post.

I have 3 grandsons and I think they will get a real kick out of them.

Your ss came out beautiful and I love the casings, too.
Wouldn't deer-shaped ones be cool ?  ;)

Thanks for the compliment. It turned out pretty good for my first try.  Deer shaped casings would be pretty cool. Don't know how the antlers would turn out. Their website says they take special requests. Someone should call and see if they can do it.

I asked if they ship to Canada but sadly they don't  :'(

Maybe make a big antler would work  ;D
Those football ones are neat, too.

I was originally searching for football casings when I stumbled on their site. I ordered the piglets instead.  ;D
