SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
· Start with a stuffed casing at room temperature.
·
Drying the sausage:
You can achieve the drying by placing the sausage in your smokehouse with the dampers open
at about 140 - 150 degrees for one hour.
Note:
Reasons for drying the sausage:
Drying the sausage brings all the sausages to about the same temperature
for an even smoke color. Drying conditions the surface of the sausage to ready it to accept smoke. Drying causes a “skin”
to form on the outside surface of the sausage. Drying also attaches the casing to the sausage so as to avoid forming a
fat layer between the sausage and the casing. Drying gives the collagen casing strength to hold up during cooking.
·
Smoking the Sausage:
Smoking can be achieved by placing sawdust/chips in the chip tray of the smoker. The
sawdust/chips may be soaked in water at least one hour. Soak in half the volume of water that you have sawdust/chips.
(4 cups sawdust/2cups water) Heat the smoker to approximately 170 degrees, this temperature will ignite the
sawdust/chips to achieve smoke. Close the dampers to half open at this point.
·
Cooking:
As the sawdust/chips burn, the water will evaporate and a dry heat will set in. The dry smoke will set the
smoke in the sausage. After most of the sawdust/chips have burned, remove the ash and dispose of properly. At this
time, fill the water pan half full of water and return to the smoker. Close the dampers and turn the temperature to
approximately 180 - 190 degrees.
· High humidity will cook the sausage very quickly as well as tenderize the casings; especially natural casings. High
humidity also helps to cook the sausage without drying it out too much. Cook sausage until the internal temperature
reaches 165 degrees.
·
Cooling:
Proper cooling is important for the safety of the product as well as the desired look of the finished product.
Remove the sausage from the smoker and place in cold water to stop the cooking process. The cold water will start the
sausage cooling and keep the casing tender. Do not place the sausage directly in the refrigerator. This could cause the
sausage to sour and wrinkle.
·
A little time and patience can give excellent results.
·
Preheat Note:
Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.
