How to make a Roasted Garlic & Smoked Sausage

[@rjman123au1]

It is unbelievable that this terrific channel has so few views and subscribers. It is quite possibly the best sausage making channel in all of KZbin. If you cannot make perfect sausages following this channel you should take up gardening. You keep going Eric, just remember that quality wins in the end. Maybe, just maybe, the name you chose for this channel is not helping, personally I don't have a problem with the name of this channel, it is just my 2 cents worth. Than you Eric, I wish you all the luck in the world.

Completely agree. I just joined his Patreon. His knowledge is impressive and I've had more questions answered by watching his vids, than all the other channels I watch, combined

[@10ftSamsquanchy]

A lot of people would rather not know how the sausage is made

[@24-Card]

One hint, (you probably figured this out by now), put the casing on the horn, pull a couple of inches of casing, run the meat about half an inch into the casing and then tie the end. Much less air, pricking the casing creates holes for juices to escape later. Prick only when necessary. Great tutorial. Been making sausage for 30 years, it is a labor of love!

[@jrthebigcrouton1424]

i love this channel. I love his recipes and how you can put in your amount and it adjusts the spices in grams for precise measurements. Nothing is left to chance.

[@seanwilliams2357]

I made your recipe for roasted garlic smoked sausage, but I altered it just a little bit by adding jalapeño to it, as well as 2Tbs of marjoram in the 10 lbs mix. Followed your directions. And I have to say IT’S FANTASTIC !! Thank you so much … it’s blooming right now, but my son and I sampled some at room temp, and after searing in skillet … nice snap, juicy, richness, little salt, nice smoke, great garlic flavor, a bit of heat from jalapeño, and that marjoram savory-ness. Again great recipe … I look forward to experimenting with other variations. Be safe ! Love the videos.

Love your videos. I have learned so much in a very short time. Looking forward to putting your techniques to work. You have some very sophisticated equipment. I'm a home, small batch sausage maker (wannabe). I use a Traeger for smoking, the lowest temp I can sustain is 180 degrees F. Is there a schedule that will allow me to make these smoked sausage with that limitation?

[@2guysandacooler]

Sure. I would start at 180f and after 3-4 hours increase temp (if necessary) till you get to your desired temp

Eric awsome like always. My question is, do you have to smoke it. I know it will be better, but can you just freeze them and just fry up when wanted. I know I will not put cure1 in it when I want to do it my way. Same with all the other smoked videos do you have to smoke them. I have a smoker but when I do my sausages is in the winter time and it is to cold outside.. thanks

[@jlithgoe]

Really enjoy your channel and have made several of your recipes. My recurring problem is tough casing. I flush and soak for several hours and have even tried a tablespoon of white vinegar. After a 5 hour smoke at 150f, and an ice water crash, bloom for two hours, the deep mahogany is there on a plump link, but the casing is still tough. 10 pounds of great tasting sausage but the tough skin makes it less than gratifying. Have you ever made a video that addresses this or do you have any suggestions? Thanks for all you do. Geaux Tigers!

[@sarah.sconnie]

[@aljames7082]

Great video! I have a quick question. After the drying cycle, when you start adding the smoke, after the first hour of applying smoke do you continue applying smoke during the rest of the cooking cycles? Thanks.

[@2guysandacooler]

You can. It all depends on how smoky you want the finished product. I generally apply some smoke through the cooking process. Sometimes people only smoke for a couple hours.. It's up to you. Just so you know, too much smoke will impart a bitter flavor so just keep the smoke flowing nice and slow. If you open the smoker (or the pit) and the smoke is billowing out so thick it forms a cloud that you can't see through then you need to reduce it a bit..

[@aljames7082]

@@2guysandacoolerOk, sounds good! I've always finished my smoked sausage by poached them. I want to try eliminating the poaching process by cooking them to completion in the smoker. Thank you very much for your reply.👍 😊👍

[@derkhedemann5606]

war for caliber casings did you use ?

[@zachnescio4559]

Not related to this video, but does collagen casing break down if you cook it at a hotter temperature? Or does it need to sit a while before being smoked? I'm looking to make a smoked sausage in 19mm casing similar to one of your previous videos, but I am trying to use a #1 cure instead of a culture starter. I'm going for a slim Jim/cured texture with a snap. My casing was still very tough after being smoked, but I also feel I should have cooked them longer maybe? Any tips for my next batch would be helpful, but I also don't mind hearing I might be wasting my time with this recipe.

[@2guysandacooler]

So edible collagen casings can be tricky. Follow the same directions when making snack stick (using collagen casings). Make sure your meat is super cold when grinding and mixing. You want your batter to be very sticky. When it's time to cook the sticks, make sure they dry out for 90 minutes before turning up the heat. When you are 75% finished with the cook, apply olive oil to the outside of all the sticks. Then finish cooking.. This will crisp up the collagen casing and give them that bite that you are after 😁

[@leafinitup1]

Great video! I subscribed. Do these have to be refrigerated? How long will they last?

[@2guysandacooler]

They do need to be refrigerated. Generally once made these can last for 5-7 days in the refrigerator. They also freeze great!

[@vanyugo154]

How to determine when you've reached the right internal temperature? Is it alright to finish with sous vide method?

[@2guysandacooler]

I use an instant read thermometer but absolutely, finishing your sausage off in sous vide is a great way to get to that final temp with precision.

[@nasionvideo1953]

How long can you store it in a freezer?

[@kenbirkin7753]

with a small batch, could you use a kamado joe or green egg for smoking ?

[@2guysandacooler]

sure...

[@kenbirkin7753]

good, i think i find a new passion

[@misztal2112]

What kind of smoker do you use and how do you dial in the temp so low and precisely. Thanks

[@2guysandacooler]

It's a #4 WIFI model from Smokin-it smokers (www.smokin-it.com/Smokers-s/5.htm). This unit has a controller that allows it to accurately operate at very low or high temperatures with precision. So all I do is program the controller by setting the temperature and the duration that I want it to be at that temp. This unit has the capability of 6 program settings. So I can program the unit to be at 100F for 2 hours, then 125F for 2 hours, then 135f for 2 hours, then 155f for 1 hour, then 175f until the internal temp of 155f is reached. As soon as one cycle is finished it automatically moves to the next cycle. It makes smoking and slow cooks a breeze!! I've had mine for years now and I love it!!

[@shawn5140]

Eric, you said end Internal Temperature you started to cool off at 145F. I usally go to 152F, and the last 10 Degrees take forever. Is it still safe /pasteurize at the lower temp? I do understand that you can pasteurize at lower temps for longer times. Any info or thoughts on end Internal Temps..

[@2guysandacooler]

LOL. You are right about that!! Personally, I like 145 for pork as it yields a remarkably juicy product. All I do is cook it to an internal of 145 and hold it there for 15 minutes. It also depends on how the meat is cooked. I generally start off very low and increase my temp gradually. The alternative is to cook it at a much higher temp a lot quicker. It's easy to to in a digital smoker as the temp rises very slowly. On a grill it's much harder to control the temps. Each one yields different results.. Fat starts to render at 129f (albeit very slowly) so in my experience the highest I would go would be around 150 and that's if I'm using ECA (encapsulated Citric Acid) in my recipe. Otherwise I tend to keep the temp pretty low. This is also a great temp to cook at if you plan on making a bunch of sausage then freezing them. Par cooking the sausage allows them to retain their moisture and reheating them in an oven or grill is a lot more forgiving..

[@mirekratajczyk470]

@@GrizzAxxemann stick to what works for you... I do cold smoking for years.. With very light smoke (you can hardly see it) using natural wood. My fire box is about 10 feet from the smoker, and two feet lower. Internal temp is between 90 to 120 F . After 2 to 3 h smoking like that with apple, and cherry wood, I poach sausage for 20 mi for every inch of thickness... in 170 F water.. Then I smoke it again for 3 h at 140 F.. My sausages don't need refrigeration for weeks. They don't spoil... they just get dryer... I'm doing that for two decades, and this method is thousand years old... One more thing... For sausage to stick, don't add powder milk or any other "binders". Just massage cut meat before grinding it. That will activate proteins in it, and will make it sticky... Than cool it, grind it, and of course cure it.
