The Sausage Haus in my Neighbourhood

[Dick284]

It's that time of year.
A true labour of love.

So far it's been:
45 lbs. of Summer Sausage
15 lbs. of Maple Breakfast (not shown)
8 lbs. Pepperoni Snack Sticks
8 lbs. Hunters Blend Snack Sticks
15 lbs. Pressed Jerky.




Snack Sticks are gonna hit the smokers as soon as my first coffee is finished.

Then a buddy is bringing a Masterbuilt smoker by for the jerky.

Still gotta press out some Hot Italian, and more Breakfast links.

Stay tuned.

Awesome Dick, enjoy!

Dude, you have a career in photo-journalism in your future. Maybe movies too.

Like. Looks good.

Those long ones are pressed burger that you mix up, then push out of the gun? I buy those from Viking Meats when I'm in the are and have wanted to make my own.

Man that is heaven right there.

[saddleup]

That looks great, it always has a better flavor if you make it.lol


BUT that's 2 bottles of "WATER'' on the table...... mix?

Darn, I was excited when this first showed up in the "Buy and Sell" section.

Paper weights, so the butcher paper wasn't rolling up while we pressed out the jerky.

Well the Haus hadn't opened for the day yet, and well under those conditions some errors may occur.

Your garage (haus) must smell awesome Dick.

Could you show us pictures if the smoker set up you have?

Nothing special.
Buddy brought over his Bradley original, as well as his propane fired vault style.

[Dick284]

We finished all the smoking of the jerky and the snack sticks, pressed out another 10 lbs. of maple breakfast, along with 25 lbs. of hot Italian sausage.

My low back and feet hurt, but the pride in turning out ones own table fare makes the aches and pains seem pretty minor right now.

I expected to see a couple of dark colored long neck bottles doing that job - or maybe 10

I’m curious does that silver board help insulate the Bradley much? I find that is one problem is heat retention.

Silverboard, SM, foil bubble, it all helps.
-25C and the box will get to 225F in about 30 mins.

Just don't insulate the back below 10" from the top.

Glass bottles can fall and break.

Empty beer cans were too light, and full cans would start to warm up.

It's a tough call, but a man's gotta do what he's gotta do.

Would you rather believe the water was closer at hand, cuz the suds were outside chilling?

Thanks for the tip. I’m gonna have to try it out.
