SMOKING HOT PICS (summer sausage)

[bluecat]

MY QUESTION SIMPLE WAS DO YOU LET YOUR SUMMER SAUSAGE REST?

No, the only resting going on is between bites.

C'mon, man....I'm tryin' to keep everything PG-13, and yer killin' me here.

So..many...jokes...Errrgh!

Looks good Blue.

I made some up a couple of months ago as well. Good stuff!

I do let mine rest - for 24 hours in the refridgerator after stuffing and before smoking:



Then, I smoked, and as you can see I use a real high-tech smoker. (But I like your set up - that smoke box looks like a neat setup.)



Hang 'em high:



End result:

I'm always trying to learn something new Bob. What's the reasoning behind letting it "rest"?

[bluecat]

by the way, yum.

Well, he's not a machine...and he's not gettin' any younger.

GROUCHO MARX: “Why do you have so many children? That’s a big responsibility and a big burden.”

MRS. STORY (mother of something like 17 children): “Well, because I love my children and I think that’s our purpose here on Earth, and I love my husband.”

GROUCHO: “I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.”

----Probably an urban legend, but well worth promoting...

Maybe I should ask BULLZ-i...

Speaking of smoking, I have a friend who told me that there was a cherry tree that was hit by lightening on their property and is down. I told him I wanted it so went out to look at it yesterday. I've never seen a cherry tree this big. It is a foot in diameter and maybe 35 feet long before it forks. Now I don't know if I should be cutting that thing or not. Don't know how much it is worth. Either way, I've got cherry wood to last me 10 lifetimes.

That's a lot of wood chips!


Or you could go into the plaque business...
