Busy Labor Day Weekend
« Reply #-1 on: September 06, 2015, 11:47:42 PM »
Had 16 lbs of butt in the freezer so I thought I would make some pulled pork and sausage.

The package had a 9 lb and a 7 lb. So I was going to use the small one for pulled pork and the large one for sausage.
Ready to add rub and go in the Bradley. Used CYM, some Juicy pig rub (sorry only pic before the rub):

Here is the pork in the Bradley after cooking overnight.


Pid probe says it is 194 but when I probe it goes in like butter so I decided to pull it.


Removed and ready to FTC. No more pics but it made some very good sammies.


Today I went into sausage mode.  Sliced up the butt and put the slices in the freezer (almost frozen meat grinds better).

Last batch of sausage I made came out a little dry so this time I ground  a lb of the pork fat I had bought and had in the freezer.
Here is a ground up pound of fat (nothing special I just thought it looked neat. Maybe too many Coronas )


Then ground the meat and fat together.


Decided to make 3 kinds of sausage: Italian, Spicy Italian and Plain ole' Sausage.
Going clockwise from bottom right: Italian, Spicy Italian, Plain ole', some meatballs and "breakfast" sausage I made with the leftover meat in the stuffer.


That's it -going to rest the balance of the weekend.

GR, that butt looks perfect. Like Dee would say, the sausage looks even perfecter.
