Thread: Sausage and Smoke Cooking

Surprised I’m still up, but kinda drunk, kinda full and just chilling now.
Dinner was both an effort, and a success.
Meat went on at 12:30am, got up at 4 to tweak the temp and spritz, up again at 7 to carry on and prep work and up ever since.
Will sleep well tonight though.
Here’s the ready to carve pic. Bark held up through the wrap stage!
And the great northern fridge getting stocked.

Cheers men. Have a great Sunday.

Glad you had a good to time and great food!

Just got the smoker going now. Plenty of left over room so I added some ice.

Good thinking, add some mass, and moisture.

I just pulled the water from the ice and lost about 25% by volume.

Added a bowl of snow back in for giggles.......

Well I'm done canning and smoking the kid's Christmas Presents. I took my oldest hers this morning. While I vary the amount according to how many kids, and their ages this is pretty representative of what each will get.



In back-Left to Right:

Three pints applesauce--two pints seedless blackberry jam--three pints strawberry preserves--two quarts 'Wedding Ring Pickles'

In front-Left to Right:

Seven pounds summer sausage--In back 1.5 pounds Canadian bacon--in front 2.5 pounds smoked salmon.

I have more of most of the canned goods if they want more later on, the smoked goods I'll have to get busy and make more--but what are Dads for?

Use pink butcher paper instead of foil mike. It will insure good bark plus it still breaths

I have never used pink butcher paper and have had my catalog out looking to get some spices etc.

They sell rolls but 18" x 1000' makes for a pretty big commitment for a test.

Try asking your local meat shop about getting some to try from them.

As my dad used to say; Ya never know till you ask.---

ps; You'll find smaller rolls at Amazon--
