Got the meat ready and tomorrow I will start grinding and mixing and Friday instead of the smoker I will use the oven to finish them off.  Will add extra garlic and some mustard seeds to it.  It's for my brother and his buddy's from the deer he shot.  Will be posting pics as I go along.  good luck.

Well I got the venison ground up and mixed. But during all of this I forgot to put the cheddar in.  Senior moment.  Oh well I will put it in sticks or other sausage.  My brother won't care, he just wants some summer sausage.  I have venison left from his deer so I'll make him something else with what's left.  I used Curley's jalapeno seasoning in the 25 pound batch pack.  There is dehydrated jalapenos in the seasoning.  I added 5 cups of powdered milk, extra garlic, and mustard seeds and 6 cups cold water.  So I will stuff them tomorrow and get it done.  good luck.

Cooking over a open fire is all fun and games until someone losses a wiener!

Rieny. When I make the chedder jalapeno sausage I don't mix the cheese in until just before I stuff it. But I double grind mine. Not sure if you do.

I used to grind mine twice on almost everything.  Now I only grind it through one time through the medium plate.  I'm going to save the high temp cheddar for maybe sticks or polish for my brother.  Still got venison left from him.  I will still grind it twice when I make old fashion wieners for the grandkids and my nephews kids.  good luck.

Was going to finish the sausage yesterday but between grandkids and running around  didn't do it.  Today I thought I was not going to do it again between doing the driveway and grandkids but got it done.  The done pics will come tomorrow but I got the start.  Some of the summer sausage after I stuffed it.  good luck.

Got it done two days ago.  Having to work 4 days in a row so a good friend of mine at work can use up his vacation days kept me busy.  One more month to go and I'm done with work.  I want these guy's to use up their vacation times until they find help which right now is hard to do.  No butchers around.  But February is my last month.  Anyway I stuffed these in non edibal collagen casings.  Put them in the oven at 250 deg. 

Now if I said this in a smoking forum site on the web I would be told the temp is too high and the fat will render and more.  I say BS.  I have never had anything render doing this.  I use a good binder and the proper amount of water with using this is key.  Also making sure the casings get stuffed without gaps and giving them a cold water bath when the internal temp is reached is also important.  To the experts the proper internal is something around 150 it seems..  Really??  Ground meats are safe at 165 as far as I know.  That apply's to sausage as well.  I pull mine at that temp and as you can see it turnes out great.  Perfect texture.  Now I also believe in the smoker you can gradually start the smoker at 150 and work yourself up  to 180 until the internal temp is reached.  That is because the effects of the smoke is needed.  In the oven the smoke is not needed.  Anyway here is how it turned out.  good luck.

Well I got the venison jalapeno summer sausage cut up and vac packed.  20 pieces for my brother.  Kept a few chunks for me also.  Now to work on small batches out of the book [Rytak Kutas book].  good luck.
