Elk summer sausage
« on: March 12, 2023, 09:47:54 AM »
Spring cleaning the freezer and made 65 lbs of summer sausage from a elk from last fall.  Got the stainless insulated oven from my cousin and just a propane burner in the bottom...works awesome.  Put some smoker pellets in an old cast iron skillet and wrapped in aluminum foil
beer---it's whats for dinner

Does the smoke penetrate your casings? I've cooked them with and without smoke and didn't notice a real difference.

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

If religion never existed on earth would Iran and Israel still be shooting at each other?

That unit is very well insulated...started at 140 and 2 hours later stopped at 180.  Once the temp is around 180ish you can fine tune it with the damper on the chimney

very nice, I have always wanted to build a large smoker. even one that I could use a very small fire in the bottom for heat and smoke incase the power went out for a long time.  I'll probably just buy a heating element they sell online.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.
