Fancy Summer Sausage

[KillerNoms]

My first batch of summer sausage in years. I was very unhappy with my previous setup, so this year I upgraded all of my equipment. This was the maiden voyage for my new MES 340G which I modified to be controlled by an Auber WSD-1500H-W and added an Auber fan, and feed smoke via the “Mailbox” mod. I love this new setup so much my wife is jealous.

Using this “shelter in place” opportunity to up my smoking game (pun intended), and start working through my freezer backlog. I found some unique casings online, and really like the way they look. And the sausage tastes great!

It was a 25lb batch, 14/6/5 lbs respectively of venison, pork butt & pork fatback. My normal ratio is 16/4/5, but I messed up and didn’t thaw out enough venison.

Smoked over a hickory/apple/cherry blend. Om nom nom nom!

KillerNoms That is some GOOD trussing! We just did 75 lb of dry-cured Salami with wine, Pepperoni and Habanero BBQ and we just wanted it tied as quickly and as easily as we could. If people are going to continue showing off there trusting (@joehell has a very impressive one as well) we will have to step out game up!

The cutting board is a nice touch as well.

It IS good trussing! I wish I could claim some credit but my sole contribution was getting my credit card numbers right. The casings came that way from the mfr.

A work of art, outside and inside, if it tastes as good as it looks $150.00 a pound
