Bigwheel's Genuine Coonass Andouille

13 lbs. Boston Butt
1 cup fresh minced garlic (from the jar)
1/2 cup coarse black pepper
2 T. garlic powder
2 T. onion powder
5 T. salt
1 T. MSG
1 T. Tender Quick
3 T. dried parsley flakes
4 T. cayenne pepper
3 T. ground Thyme
1 bottle Shiner Bock Beer
1 pair of well cleaned Raccoon hindquarters (optional)
water

Combine all spices with beer and water to equal 1 1/2 quarts of liquid. Chill the spiced liquid while you cut and debone the meat to fit the grinder. Add liquid to meat mixing well. Run meat through coarse grinder plate and mix it up again. Stuff into medium hog guts and tie into one foot links. Allow links to rest uncovered in the ice box overnight shuffling occasionally so all links get some air. Next day smoke heavy at 175 degrees with oak, pecan, and mesquite to internal temp of 155


5 pounds pork butt
1/2 pound pork fat
1/2 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dry thyme
4 tablespoons salt
6 feet beef middle casing (see butcher or specialty shop)
Cube pork butt into one and a half inch cubes. Using a meat grinder with four one quarter inch holes in the grinding plate, grind pork and pork fat. If you do not have a grinding plate this size, I suggest hand cutting pork butt into one quarter inch square pieces.
Place ground pork in large mixing bowl and blend in all remaining ingredients. Once well blended, stuff meat into casings in one foot links, using the sausage attachment on your meat grinder. Tie both ends of the sausage securely using a heavy gauge twine.

In your homestyle smoker, smoke andouille at 175-200°F for approximately four to five hours using pecan or hickory wood. The andouille may then be frozen and used for seasoning gumbos, white or red beans, pastas or grilling as an hors d'oeuvre.
