Homemade Smoked Kielbasa

[@brwhyon]

Great looking Kielbasa ! I started making my own sausages back in my mid 20s, I'm 62 now and still cranking them out, so much better tasting than what you can find commercially.

[@PitSmoke]

Thank you for stopping by and watching! These Kielbasas taste fantastic! Much better than store-bought for sure. Have a great day

[@SleeperBBQ]

[@PitSmoke]

Thank you, Stelly! These turned out fantastic! You're right, the only way we know what we're getting is to make it ourselves...which tastes a whole lot better for sure! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@Thegriddleguy]

[@PitSmoke]

These are delicious and I love the smell and taste of the Pecan and apple wood pellets. Thanks for stopping by and watching brother!

[@805BBQJUNKIE]

@Pit Smoke of course my brother stay safe out there

[@CookingSecretsForMen]

Great looking Polish sausage Charlie, I need to get a grinder

[@PitSmoke]

Thank's Charlie! I love making sausages and sausage links. I don't know what I would do without my grinder. Thank you so much for watching my friend!

[@firedcastiron]

I have heard it said 'you don't want to see what goes into sausage', but this looked appetizing all the way through! My mouth was actually watering at the end when you were talking about the smell and taste of the finished product. Excellent!

[@PitSmoke]

Thank you! I've heard the same thing lol...The best thing about making it yourself, is you know what is going into your sausages. This was made with pork shoulder and lean beef chuck...It tastes amazing! Thank you for stopping by and watching and best of all have a great week!👍

[@BBQPITDOG]

Big thumbs up Charley! I can really appreciate the time and effort involved making this video and making this delicious looking kielbasa! Pecan is just about the only wood I use for smoke so I know these are great.....they sure looked great too!

[@PitSmoke]

These turned out great, Rob! The flavor of the pecan and apple is amazing! Pecan and apple are mostly all I use too. Thank you for stopping by and watching, and have a great day my friend!👍

[@cooknbbq53]

Wow this looks super delicious brother, I can just bite into one and taste the flavors. Awesome job. 👍🍺

[@PitSmoke]

[@Mankitchenrecipes]

Hey Charley! Those smoked Kielbasa's look terrific and I bet they did smell amazing! The color is perfect and I'm sure that loaf tasted amazing too! Thanks for the tip on adding water to the inside of the hog casing, that totally makes a lot of sense! I'll definitely be doing that the next time I make sausage! Have a great week brother!👍👊

[@PitSmoke]

Thank you, Kevin! These Kielbasa's turned out fantastic and that pecan apple mix really made them come alive with flavor! I think I've become addicted to making sausage...lol. Have a great week brother!👍👊

[@Whiskeyx78]

Looks great, did you used a pellet smoker or wood chip smoker?

[@PitSmoke]

I use a Pit Boss vertical pellet smoker. It makes it so easy to smoke meat. Thank you so much for watching and have a great day!

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Wow that's great. You have a wonderful channel. New subscriber from Japan ⚘

[@PitSmoke]

Thank you for watching!

[@EverythingShakes]

Awesome 😎

[@PitSmoke]

Thanks man!

[@ryoanzobuk7915]

Charlie, I don’t have a stand up smoker. Can I still smoke kielbasa on racks in my smoker?

[@PitSmoke]

Yes, you can. Just lay them on the grill racks and they should do fine. Thank you for watching!

[@buzzkiller9942]

Does poking holes let the juices out?

[@PitSmoke]

Poking holes helps get rid of air pockets and helps the skin tighten. The juices will remain in the sausage. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

[@buzzkiller9942]

Thanks for the old school knowledge!

[@joshuanoble5333]

I know its been 2 years, but you should narrate some e-books . You have a very relaxing voice

[@PitSmoke]

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for stopping by and watching! I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@daveprice6817]

So how much salt, insta cure, and water is used for 5lbs of meat. That part of the directions was confusing to read

[@PitSmoke]

I used 1 teaspoon of Insta-cure #1 per 5 pounds of meat (Be sure to follow the directions on your Insta-cure #1 package or container). 7 teaspoons of kosher salt per 5 pounds of meat. You can add more or less salt if you wish. These two ingredients are mixed in the cold water to dissolve and placed in the refrigerator until needed. The directions are in the descriptions. I hope this helps and thank you for watching.

[@daveprice6817]

@PitSmoke thank you. Looking forward to trying the recipe. It looks great!

[@ChrisHansenBBQ]

Awesome Charley. Can you spare a pound or two? Lol. Thanks for the recipe. I will try this out one day for sure as I just got grinder and sausage maker. If that’s what it’s called. Definitely need to pick up some certain ingredients. Any special brand of insta cure? 100% new to this and never made before. Grew up eating this keilbasai though. Apple and pecan are definitely great woods. Would you say you went heavy or light on the wood. Thanks brother.

[@PitSmoke]

Thanks, Chris! These turned out great! I use the "Insta Cure#1 or insta cure#1 Pink salt" and it doesn't take very much as it only takes 1.1g per pound of meat. You can get Insta Cure#1 online from LEM (Backwoods) and Walton's and I trust the brands they sell and I use no special brand. I just trust what these companies sell. I'm fairly new at this myself and have been doing this for about a year this month. But, it is easy to learn and I really enjoy making sausage. I probably medium smoke. The Pit Boss Vertical smokes more at low temps so, I would guess I started out at heavy and ended up with a light-medium but, I don't have any control over the amount of smoke my smoker puts out other than, the higher the temp the less smoke it puts out. But I would guess a medium would be fine for the 1st two hours and a lighter smoke for the rest of the cook. This is the first Kielbasa I've made but it came out amazing! I hope I answered your questions brother! Stay safe and have a great week!👍

[@ChrisHansenBBQ]

@@PitSmoke thanks so much. I’m definitely looking forward to getting my hands dirty with this.

[@alvinrobinson6998]

@@ChrisHansenBBQ what are the spices?

[@12ernie]

Are you putting smoke on it whole time?

[@PitSmoke]

Since this is low and slow it is being well smoked...the smoker will put out more smoke with low and slow. But the whole time it is getting the smoke flavor. Thank you for watchting.

[@12ernie]

Great video!

[@Food_video]

nice upload~ have a nice day💕💕💕👍

[@PitSmoke]

Thank you for watching!

[@HeavyMetalBarBQue]

Hey Charlie! This was Terrific!!!! 👍 I really liked your combo of the Apple and Pecan for the smoke. 👍 Liked how You twisted them to make manageable link sizes. Worked out great for packaging and freezing. Yep that insta-cure does make it sticky. 😁 I gotta ask about using the powdered milk, what's that do for it? I've made this in the past and I wish I had the time to do it more often. BTW......We could have one great meal with Your Kielbasa and my Sauerkraut. 😁 Great Vid My Friend! Hurry up and get that 1K Subs to start making a few bucks. 👍 Metal On! \🔥/

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

😂 I was gonna ask about the powdered milk too and then saw you ask, so now he doesn’t have to answer twice.

[@PitSmoke]

These Kielbasa turned out really great and taste fantastic! The Pecan and Apple pellets really gave this Kielbasa's a fantastic taste. I try twisting them differently every time I make sausages lol. The powdered milk is used as a binder helps cooked sausage retain moisture and helps to enhance the flavor of the product. Oh, yeah!!! Let's throw some of these Kielbasas in with that sauerkruat for sure!!! I love it that way too! I'm working on the 1K subs and at 3k+ on watch hours, so they're running neck and neck...Thanks, Ken for stopping by and watching! I very much appreciate the support! Have a great week my friend! Oh, could you pass the sauerkruat, please..lol😋👍👊🍻
