Smoker: Oklahoma Joes Highland Offset Smoker

Smoke time: 6 hours

Mix: 78/22(Venison/Fat) ratio using 11Lb(V)/3Lb(F)

Seasoning: Hi Mountain- Jalapeño Summer Sausage Kit

Casings: LEM- Fibrous Mahogany Casings (1.5” x 12”)

Decided to make summer sausage out of the rest of my deer trimming’s from this winter. I used a pork shoulder for fat content for an all together weight of 14lbs. I used apple and hickory wood chips paired with hardwood lump for charcoal.

This was a first for me but I can say I am pleased with the results. For anyone needing a smoke recipe I left mine on the last photo.

    One of our specialties but we put out own cut cheese and jalapeños in it.
    Looks delicious!

    I just bought a ton of these from my local meat market. So good!

    Great job on the details.

    Why the steps in temp? I don’t think I could do that granular and typically try to keep it under 180 until I get to an internal temp of 160, but even that low I struggle with.

    does that mix have encapsulated citric acid? or does it not have the ‘sour’ taste?
