Smoke 'em if you Got 'em

huntinaz · December 22, 2012, 02:37 PM

My first attempt at elk summer sausage today. We ground, mixed and packed it last weekend, now it's time for the fun part. I love my smoker...

Bucket of mesquite chunks and other accessories? Check.

Meat in the smoker? Check.

Fire up the smoke box! Check.

Boise State vs Warshington at 1330? Double check. Gonna be a good day fellers.

Notice the strategic placement of the smoker.

Another half hour just for kicks, then begins the cooling stage

huntinaz · December 22, 2012, 11:12 PM

And we're done. Pretty freakin' good. I may have to more of this next year. I think the pepper jack cheese was a nice touch.

Your a 'dirty dog' huntinaz.

That home rolled summer sausage looks great...and with the pepper jack cheese on some Townhouse crackers with a dab of spicy mustard?

Will make your gums beat your brains out.

So it's 4:30 in the morning and time to go to the fish market for another day of FUN serving the public.............

But, as usual, I slip in a few moments reading the FLF only to see this.

Now it's my usual practice to have coffee and a banana while reading the news and emails before going to work. Maybe a hour later I really ready for REAL food......

But not this morning, thanks to you.

No, today I sitting at the computer looking at your creation and imagining how good it'd be heated in a skillet, slathered in syrup and chased down by a helping of cheese grits.

I mean I feel like Pavlof's Dog here.............

Louann is not going to be happy with you........because I am going to blame it on you that she has to get up and feed me, NOW!

Sure Shot Mc Gee · December 23, 2012, 06:40 AM

A little pork a good help'en of elk & some high temp cheese. Looks pretty good there huntinaz. How many hours in the smoker did your sausage spend getting tastier? Coors: Silver bullets here._

Uh oh, I hope I'm far enough away to catch any wrath

I smoked for 3 hours at like 125 degrees, then 4 hours between 150-180 degrees. Internal temp was recommended at 158 degrees, these hit 165-170 which seems to have been fine.

reloader28 · December 23, 2012, 10:06 AM

The last 2 weekends I made 15lb of plain and 30lb of jajapeno deer summer sausage and 10lb of jerky.
Man, there is nothing better than homemade summer sausage.

I smoked it for about 3-4 hours and 4 hours with just heat.

After Christmas I have to make more jerky, summer sausage and I going to try making 15lb of brats. And hopefully more breakfast sausage. My middle daughter still has an elk tag, so I've been making freezer room.

BTW, summer sausage tastes WAY better with home brew from my kegerator tap than Coors from the can. I cant even choke down Coors.

Kreyzhorse · December 23, 2012, 10:21 AM

Great pictures! I'm getting ready to get into this years deer meat for the first time today. Nothing like preparing your own harvest.

hooligan1 · December 23, 2012, 11:19 AM

I'm going to my neighbors house up the street to smoke a large pork ham today,,, we don't drink that colorado coolaid, but the Budweiser will be flowing like the Colorado river!!!

huntinaz · December 23, 2012, 11:47 AM

I can't help it. I'll drink anything Sam Elliot tells me to.

ChasingWhitetail91 · December 23, 2012, 12:24 PM

Everything looks good except your guys' beer choice. If you can see light through the bottle its not beer.

huntinaz · December 23, 2012, 12:56 PM

There are many better beers than Coors, but there are worse. At the particular getting place I was visiting yesterday, quality vs cost ratio was right for the Coors.

I will try and upgrade next time for the beer snobs

huntinaz · December 23, 2012, 01:13 PM

Anyway, my 2 year old daughter eats the hell out of it

TheGoldenState · December 23, 2012, 01:18 PM

That's some time of sick joke posting that.

Get rid of Coors original though. (preferably Stella/DosEquis)

Sure Shot Mc Gee · December 23, 2012, 02:00 PM

Oh she's a little doll ain't she. Looks like she doesn't want to share. What she's got a grasp on either._

bswiv · December 23, 2012, 06:29 PM

She's never been to Arazona.........but if you keep it up I'll sent her to you!!!

huntinaz · December 24, 2012, 07:21 PM

Ok, since the Better Beer Bureau has been present and vocal... is THIS better?

hooligan1 · December 26, 2012, 04:58 PM

If it goes good with that sausage, it's perfect. .......i didn't mean to start a beer bashin, but we do drinks lots of Augie Busch products here, because it's fresh.
