DirectionsStep1Read through the directions and make a plan for your time. Most important is to avoid significant delay between the time you add the ECA, and when you load the smoker. Get all your ingredients together. And clea…Step2Make slurry by mixing ground/powdery bits with liquid. Take care to ensure there are no lumps. Consider doing this a day or two ahead and storing it in the fridge.Step3Before grinding, stage detachable grinder parts, fat and chunked meat in freezer until meat is well firmed but not frozen hard (≈ half an hour)Step4Coarse grind the fat and meat (≈ 3/8", 9mm or 10mm plate) and return to freezer along with the detachable grinder parts for another 20-30 minutes.Step5Fine grind meat and fat (≈ 3/16", 4.5mm or 5mm plate).Step6Optionally stage covered overnight in the fridge. Otherwise return meat to freezer another 20-30 minutes before proceedingStep7Soak fibrous casings in warm water. They should soak at least half an hour before stuffing. This is really just prep for step 5 — but timing-wise you should do it now.Step8NOTE: Mixing is not just to distribute the ingredients. There is also a physical change to the meat called "protein extraction" which is a key factor in the final texture of your sausage. Cured/smoked products like sum…Step9Briefly mix slurry into the meatStep10Add peppercorns and mustard seed and thoroughly mix until correct protein extraction is achieved.Step11Add the ECA and mix 45-60 seconds, not longer, unless by hand and you think it needs a little more. This is the final mix.Step12Stuff casingsStep13Hang sausages at room-temp an hour or two to dry the casings. Not longer if you used ECA. This is a good time for the dog to be outside.Step14Preheat smoker to 120°F, then further dry the casings by hanging sausages in the chamber, with full open damper, for 2 hours with no water.Step15Add a water pan with a chamois or large sponge (helps increase humidity). Keep an eye on the water for the rest of the cook and top off with boiling water if it gets low.Step16Apply smoke, close damper to about 1/3rd open, and follow this schedule for the smoker temp: — 125°F for 4 hours — 145°F for 2 hours — 165°F for 2 hoursStep17Stop smoke. Raise smoker to 170°F and hold there until internal sausage temp hits 152°F. BE PATIENT - it can take a whileStep18Remove from smoker and immediately shower or ice bath until internal temp < 120°FStep19Hang to "bloom" at room temp 2 to 4 hours, then refrigerate a couple of days if you can stand to wait.
