Making some small sizs LJ.




Mix



Sheep casings soaked for 3 hours with frequent cold water changes.



Stuffed and poked.



Weigh each set of links (green weight) Tag and number each set dont forget the date and weight on the tags.



Keep notes.



Hanging to dry up some.



After a few hours of dry time its now smoke time, 4 hours then re hang. You will loose some weight on these. Will re weigh in 3 days.

No heat from the smoker, Cold smoke.

[SiFumar]

Did you ever make that thingy to flatten them? Or are you leaving them round, cause it's a small batch?

[NePaSmoKer]

Weigh day 3.

Ready to weigh again, Tags removed before weight.





You can see the weight id going down, which is good. Cant find my ph strips so i just winging it here.



My dry fridge space (for now) The blue cube below the LJ is a fridge fan.

Lookin real good there Rick, those are gonna be good.

[Tenpoint5]

Wow that fridge fan moving the air as much as it does is really helping in weight loss!!!

This is the 3rd weighing of the LJ. Sorry for such dark pics.




Smell is really good, texture is getting firm. No mold of any kind. Temp in the RV is ranging from 67-72. R/H is steady at 66%



They are loosing lots of weight. Going to Florida for couple days and these should be ready when i get back.

any idea why #1 is so high while all others going down so evenly?  Seems kinda strange to me.  Not that I know anything.

Love LJ and love this thread even more. Learning alot here.

[Scotty Dog]

Can't wait to here how they turned out.  I would be happy to trade my coveted LJ for a sample of yours.

[NePaSmoKer]

This is the final weighing. If i let them go to long they will be like eating slices of rocks.

Tags removed before weight.



Really dried nice and close.


I did wipe the LJ with vinegar just in case.


Here are some cut shots.





Shelf stable but probably wont last the week  ;D
