Another newbie...

Hey there everyone, my name is Andy and I am from southern Ontario. My Father has been making sausage for as long as I can remember, but has never smoked it himself. Now, as he is finally letting me in on the old family recipe, I figured that I would smoke it as well. As a first, I made a fire box, and placed some ribs in it to smoke. After a few hours they were pretty good for the first try. Then I took it one (a few) steps further, I built a smoke house (temperary). On Dec 22. this year, I decided to make some sausage and smoke it. I have not eaten any yet as it is still drying. But I think they look pretty good for a beginner. I am sure that I will be asking alot of questions in the near future. This looks like a great place to learn. By the way, awesome website!!

The rest out meet hanging is the pig leg bones. I thought I would smoke those to put into the pot when we make cabbage rolls (might be cheaper than buying the smoked hocks).
Thanks for the great welcome from everyome.

looks good,so fill us in on the old family recipie.are you cold smokin them?

I was trying to cold smoke them but with the fire box inside the smoke house I couldn't keep the temp under 140 deg. Just today, I took the fire box out and I am looking at make modifications to put the box outside the smoke house and run some sort of duct into the smoke house. But I still want to be able to use the fire box inside for hot smoking. As far as the recipe goes, if I told you, I'ld have to kill ya

. JUST KIDDING. It is basically a Hungarian style smoked sausage (lots of Hungarian paprika) with a few other spices (salt, pepper, lots of garlic).
