Hit the links yesterday! I was smokin'...

Now that I've mislead all of you golf nuts....

Me and the boys made sausage for the first time. Thanks to my 12 year old Josh's fine shooting last week we had the makings for some sausage:





I had the hog casings soaking, cleaned, and ready:



I put the boys to work on the grinder after we mixed and seasoned the meat:



Then we got busy makin' links:





After a few hours of pecan smoking on the pit we moved them to the oven to finish them out. We went out for a movie and to look at Christmas lights and came back to beautiful perfection:



Happiness is a full freezer and knowing you filled it yourself!

[Gerald S]

Good stuff, Bobby. Care to share your recipe?

[sharpstick]

Now thats time well spent that you and your boys will allways remember. Well done.............

[Chew]

Well...the pictures got all messed up but you get the point.

Finatic.....I used a seasoning from a company in Huntsville, tx. Can't remember the name but someone on here recommended it and I found it at a shop in houston. Used 50/50 with venison and pork. Seasoned/cured and mixed in a mixer



Ground it once through the biggest plate I had. Then reground it through the same plate into the casings. Slow/low smoked with pecan wood for 2-3 hours and then moved it to the oven. When the links were pink/red all the way through they were ready. Immediately submerged in cool water to stop the cooking and wash off the smoke. Pat dried and wrapped in freezer paper. It was my first time and I was very pleased with the outcome!

Well done !! Leave a little piece out for Santa Christmas Eve with a small glass of wine. He'll enjoy it.

Looks like the boys did good. The sausage looks like it turned out great.

Worst golf thread EVER!

Sausage looks good and I am pretty fond of eating as well, so I forgive you.

[Trykonshooter]

I'm experimenting with chilli right now, but sausage is next on my list. I almost passed this thread up, then I saw Chew name on it. Figured I see you field dressing something on the 15th hole. You got it right on that freezer filling part.

Man those links look most edible. Can't wait to sample the finished product.

Looks good Chew. I have the same grinder and thinking of adding the mixer.
