My big baby girl rinsing casings..She's my best helper in the kitchen. Her brother is more focused on football and his girlfriend. Meat ground/mixed/ready to stuff...this is a mild batch so that my little ones will like it. Spicy to come later.... Stuffed, and will chill in the fridge until I knock the dust off the smokehouse manyana... Only made a small batch this time (25 lbs). Wanted to make 50 but lost my help. My oldest boy is about to leave for college and the kids & their cousins wanted to go watch movies so, OK....I'll just do 25 lbs of breakfast sausage tomorrow with the rest. Didn't really want to fire up the smokehouse for just 25 lbs but oh well. Wanted to send a cooler of sausage & other things with him. More pics to come......

In they go. I have GOT to build a sausage table so I have more room to work with and can measure length/weight better, I was off on a few. Bothers me that they're not the same length but oh well.

They'll all eat the same, one bite at a time! Looks great! I'm making a 1 lb test batch tomorrow to judge some spices, then will make 40lbs next weekend. I need a great jalapeno-cheddar link sausage recipe, if anybody has one.

Making sausage??
You guys must be cleaning out the freezer getting ready for deer season.
Looks great, but I usually wait for cooler weather. I must say, that batch is making me envious & has got me thinking!

I need a great jalapeno-cheddar link sausage recipe, if anybody has one. I use AC Legg's Old Plantation seasoning and add to it. I like it a lot. What I've done in the past, is use that brand of seasoning and added to it minced garlic/butchers grind black pepper/Hungarian Smoked Paprika/fresh minced jalapenos/high temp cheese. I have not yet added regular cheddar out of fear of it melting too much but I plan on doing so soon....and thank you.

When I run out I make more, even if it's 100 degrees. If it's cold enough out I prefer to do most of the dirty work outside. If not, I do it in the kitchen. There are a number of things I like to cook that require a good quality smoked pork sausage. Nothing I have ever found in any store can come close to the flavor of a good homemade smoked sausage....so come snow/sleet/burning heat I gettrdone!

I've got a BUNCH of Nilgai meat coming and am about to make a bunch more. I have estimated my smokehouse to be able to handle 100-120 lbs of rings at a time, about to put her to the test.

How long does it take to smoke them? Do you have a time or internal temp or just based on experience? Looks great Sir!

How long does it take to smoke them? Do you have a time or internal temp or just based on experience? Looks great Sir! I pull them and put them into a quick ice bath when the internal temp hits 152-153 (another good use for the big coolers - straight out of shack & into cooler bath and I think the YETI coolers make them taste better ) . I have probes in the sausages on both sides and monitor them. Through experience with this smoke shack I have learned that 6-8 hrs of hickory smoke is perfect for my liking. Smoke time slows down some when it's cold & windy out but the shack is insulated SS so does pretty well regardless. 45 min to 1 1/2 hrs low heat/with fan going/no smoke to get the casings where I want them. Then start pumping smoke and ramping up temp. After a quick ice bath I bring them in the house and air dry under a fan, then put them in the fridge overnight & package/freeze the next day. I like to let the smoked sausages get cold in the fridge overnight before vacuum packing because they will constrict more when they get cold. When I bag I want a tight seal - NO air.

Still trucking. This is the fattiest sausage I've ever made, curious to see if I'm gonna like it or not. I don't like fatty sausage.

You do a real good looking sausage. Probably tastes as good as it looks.

I've always used feral pork cut with just the right amount of bacon but am out of meat right now, so I used domestic pork butts this time. Flavor isn't the same and it's a little too fatty for me. I don't like a real greasy sausage.

I like it much better fried up crispy in a skillet, pretty darn good!
