Smoking Frozen Jimmy
« Reply #-1 on: January 21, 2013, 08:39:53 AM »
I pulled a pound of frozen Jimmy Dean sausage and was going to let it thaw then pan fry. But I started thinking about some of the post about smoking a frozen pork butt and frozen ribs. So, why not put the frozen LB of sausage in the smoker with some cherry wood and let it do its magic.


Frozen and ready to go in smoker. Nothing added and nothing stuffed inside. Just plain ol sausage.


After an hour it is almost at 160 IT. I want to take it to 165-170

Pulled at 170ish.


Sliced and ready to try. This was different than pan frying. It has a nice smoke flavor and I really like the way it taste and texture of the sausage.

Muebe had a good idea of hitting this with a hot pan after the smoke to wake up some of the fat and get a crisp crust. Next time I am going to try that using a cast-iron pan on the side burner.

What a great idea! Sounds like a breakfast once the temp gets closer to zero (right now -5...  ??? )

I did some last year but with a twist.  I used rub on them before I smoked them


Used my Bradley for the smoke.

All done

Tommy,

did you fry them in a pan when done? I am thinking about trying that next time to get some bark.

Fried and had biscuits with cheese.  Not bad but the rub was a littl much for 7 am you know  ;)

I think your smoked sausage would be better for breakfast
