Time for another batch of Kielbasa!

[TentHunteR]

I was out of smoked Kielbasa, so it was time to make another batch.


This was a 5 lb batch loaded up on my sausage rack in the MAK 1 Star.



I just let the MAK run in smoke mode (hickory smoke) until it hit an I.T. of 152°.


This gave me five 1lb rings.



The MAK does such a great job smoking sausage!

Thanks guys!

Tommy, it's my own recipe based on the original Polish Government Regulated recipe for Polska Kielbasa Wedzona - what we refer to as Polish smoked sausage, or Smoked Polska Kielbasa. 

You can find the recipe here: Wedliny Domowe Website

I originally got the recipe from the Stanley Marianski book, "Polish Sausages, Authentic Recipes and Instructions."  Which contains all of the Polish Government-regulated sausage recipes.  The book is about $16 and worth adding to your collection.



I basically adjusted the salt level to my liking and added some mustard seed.



P.S. There's a really interesting story behind how the Polish government regulated all sausage recipes after WWII.  I should put together a post about it.

Sausage looks fantastic. Great looking hanging rack, too.
