Thread: Sausage and Smoke Cooking

So how'd those shotgun shells turn out for ya, Tim. Tastey.!!?

They turned out well for the basic recipe that I used. I would make them spicier and at this time I would prefer an Armadillo egg to these.

As I said though the filling could be adjusted to make a very similar outcome.

Those sound good too, but I can't handle that much sausage. Maybe a Texas Twinkie, though.

The shotgun shells are sausage wrapped in bacon with a little pasta in beteween.........................

I cut mine with burger. 50/50

I did move them and that did help.

What pellet grill do you have? On the Traeger the burn pot and a in the center, I don’t have too much difference, only hot spot I have is right around the edge of the flat plate over fire box, if your right on the edge it seems to crisp up a little quicker, so that’s where I stick bacon wrapped goodies,, my armadillo eggs for sure,

Pit Boss. I forget the model off hand.

So I like beer & I like beef. Why not combine the two ?

Blade roast soaked in beer 26 hours. Recipe said 13 so I doubled it Added a tablespoon of brown sugar & salt about 3:1 then patted dry next day.
Rubbed in paprika & olive oil & into the smoker. 2 hours-ish at 150º C with an applewood chunk for a bit of smokey goodness.

Came out a tad on the dry side but tasty and tender.

Cheers all.

3 butts on the smoker tonight for a pulled pork contribution for Friday pot luck at work.


Up to 165 core now and spritzing with apple cider vinegar.
Figure I’ll stay up till they are 190+ then pop them in the slow cooker till tomorrow to break them down even more..
Doing a coup,e sour dough baguettes as well cause someone else is bringing chili and gotta have fresh bread with chili.

My wife got me a meat grinder for my birthday, so my daughter and I made our first ever sausages, not bad for a first effort.

Pork fillet and streaky bacon.
