Smoked Summer Sausage
« Reply #-1 on: October 15, 2014, 04:59:46 PM »
Or at least thats what i intended to make.

Got my ingredients ready and mixed up for 5 lbs.







I do my weight in grams.




I mixed up all the dry with the meat, put in zip lock and fridge overnight.

All of a sudden BAM BOOM we are hit with heavy rain, 30mph winds and tornado warnings. I left the mix in fridge 1 more day. Told my wife i gotta get this stuffed.



Being bad weather my smoker was covered and out of service so i had no other choice to do what i don't like. That is hot water.
So i called up Chris and he walked me through the process.



I did add 4 hours of cold smoke to the chubs after they cooled from the water.

I'm glad i deviated and used smoked paprika.

I was pretty upset that i had to hot water but i guess being in a motorhome you gotta work around mother nature.

I thought these are 5 lbs of trash SS chubs.

Today i cut one up. Sorta reminds me of mortadella.


Not used to seeing SS without the distinctive smoked outer rind.


Cut and taste. Not bad really and moist. I'm happy


Going to leave the other 6 chubs in the casings and fridge for a couple more days.
Thanks Chris for helping.

Those do look a lot like mortadella.

Very interesting and perfect timing, because after seeing Don's (smokendevo) hot dogs, I was thinking if I used smoked paprika in the mix, hot dogs might do pretty well in a sous vide cook.

I think I may try it.

Looks like they turned out just fine!  You said that you mixed the dry ingredients to the meat and put in the fridge.  Did you leave out the cure #1, salt and ames phos and then add that to water and mix back in before you stuffed?


Enough ain't enough and too much is just about right.

Jim

I mixed all the dry and put in fridge. The salt, ames and cure i mixed in 1st before the other items. I did not add any liquid because i knew the ames would retain moisture. Guess i gotta learn to watch the weather around here before i start something to smoke.
