doing a batch of jalapeno and cheddar venison summer sausage.

[uncle_lar]

the Jalapenos are ready in the garden , so I took some venison and pork out of the freezer to whip up a batch

of jalapeno and cheddar summer sausage. the high temp cheddar I got this time also has some jalapeno in it too so I am hoping for a really nice taste. this will be about a 30# batch and Im stuffing it into 3" casing and will smoke over hickory.

I will post some pics later of the process

more to come

Im happy

I got the casings from the sausage maker .com

they are 3"x 24"mahogany synthetic fibrous casings.

they come 20 to a bundle for about 16.00

stuffed weight of each stick was around 4.25#s

I tie one end and use a hog ring to seal the other

I stuff them with my enterprise sausage stuffer.

Uncle,

Those look fantastic!!!!

They have a lot of "Droolability"

May I ask how much smoke gets through that type of casing?

Thanks,

Bear

they are fibrous casings and the smoke gets through perfectly

 I smoke them for about 5 hrs with a  healthy  load of hickory.

Of course some of that time the TBS is almost un-noticeable  but I can

tell its there

 

[werdwolf]

OH YA!  That is looking good.  Can 't wait till this fall, and I'll be making some also.

Very nice ss. I am going to try to make some soon for the first time but am contiplating on how to cook it. You said you moved it to another cooker during the cooking process. Why was that move made?

Mainly for convenience and able to control temp and humidity perfectly

after about 5  hours in the smoker it has all the smoke its going to take and since all I have now is a GOSM that deosnt have a thermostat I have to keep a close eye on my maverick thermo and water pan to make sure it all stays good.

but when I move it to my slow roast  even heat electric oven it is all controlled perfectly and automatically

so all I need to do is monitor the internal temp and when it hits 152 its ready for the cold shower
