Title: 2014 Sausage Making
Post by: nepas on January 01, 2014, 12:15:57 PM
Back to making some sticks after a few months of on the road time.

My mix for 5 lbs of sticks.

1 t cure #1
1 t liq smoke, yeah i know the sticks will be in my smoker.
4 oz seasoning mix

Mix the cure with 4 T distilled water for better incorporation into the meat. Add liq smoke and seasoning.

Just saw your temp on your post and 38 degrees in N FL has to be lots warmer than PA.  It was 59 here this morning.  Not sure I would be able to go outside and load the smoker if it was 38 degrees  ;D

So there i was in the 4th hour of the slim jims and *POOF*
My PID goes out, Just had it repaired in May of 2013. So need less to say i had to do what i dont like and break out the roaster and finish in hot water. I later gave them some cold smoke for a few hours. And no it not my 750w element that made it go out.
