Here it be outa the smoker, taste is excellent, thin next batch gonna add in some pork though. Let em cool an inta the icebox, then tammarraw I'll vac pack em.
 
Nice lookin summer sausage Hillbilly,
Iv'e been a lurker here for a long while & make quite abit of SS if the deer gods smile on me. (This year no smile)

I'm not trying to be a wise guy here, 8) but if ya wanted to keep the wrinkles away just plunge them into a ice water bath right out of the smoker till the internal temp is below 110. Hang at room temp for a couple hours (bloom) till casing is dry.(i use big rubber maid tubs)
It doesn't affect the taste either way!

Thanks for posting your pics! I'm hoping to get a digital camera soon so I can post some of my adventures. :)

Needs mo salt :shock: Next time jump it up to about 1 1/2 t. per pound of meat. 1 t. per pound minimum if your feeding salt sensitive senor citizens or something like that.

We gotta watch that salt real carefull round here. Momma got minears disease er however ya spell it. She gets fluid build up in her ears an it ruptures the drum. Happens to much an she will go deaf.

So we just cut way back on it.
 
Ok can certainly live with the salt restraints due to circumstances. Warden got about the same condition. They put her in an artificial chochlea (sic) and had tubes implanted a few years back. Her troubles was supposedly cuzed by untreated ear infections as a child. Her step daddy did not believe in kids going to the doctor. Anyway..she is deaf as a door nail. I didn't know to blame the salt..kick kick. Thanks for the medical advice. I cut her off of that stuff and maybe she can hear me mo betta when I yell for another beer:)

or she might buy a salt lick. :shock: :shock: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
 
Well we got regular comedians on here today huh? Fact is if cutting her off the salt don't work and she goes plumb deaf..I just put her on a timer. One beer each 15 mins max..and prob get her to twice check personally during that time frame in case the can went empty early..cat knocked it over etc. Simple huh? :roll:
