We made Texas Hot Links inspired by @Smokin' Joe's Pit BBQ and used his recipe. These came out amazing!! After these were made, they were cold smoked on the @Char Griller Grand Champ XD.
Wow! Another great and informative as well as educational video. It really makes you appreciate what goes into the making of a sausage. I don't think I'm at that stage and definitely don't have the equipment yet but maybe one day. Cheers!
Great video, just wanted to ask how you got the percentage on the rest of the spices like pepper, garlic, etc. I got the salt but the other spices I got confused. Just learning how to make sausage. Thanks..
I just did the math based on Joe’s recipe. Joe showed all of his numbers. I figured out the ratios based on his numbers. Then I used those ratios to calculate against how much meat I had. Does that make sense? I hope.
I think it’s a perfect amount. Only thing I may kick up is the heat. But that’s all dependent on how much spice you like. These have a tiny kick but not crazy at all. But salt content I’m happy with.
You can just use milk, but will have to cut down the amount of water added by at least half. If you need more liquid then you can add back more water. I just use the powdered milk that’s in the baby’s section at the store. Not sure if it’s available in your area so I hope this helps.
Thank you, I appreciate it! I took the percentages from Joes video. Essentially did some backwards math. Joe showed all of his amounts based on the amount of meat he had. So I figured out the percentages that he did. I then weighed the meat that I had and then multiplied out for the ingredients. Does that make sense?
You’re right. I should’ve spoke in ranges. I wasn’t trying to be exact with the ratio of lean to fat, just somewhere between that 70/30 to 80/20 ratio. The most important math is being exact with the spices/ingredients added. Thanks for swinging by.
@gord4067 Thank you! They were really good. Almost time to make some more. Only thing I may do is kick up the spice a touch. Otherwise they were great.
