When my husband was alive, he’d get a deer and we’d get summer sausage with jalapeños and cheddar cheese like this and it was delicious. Miss him and this sausage.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

It such a great combination! Thank you for watching and very sorry for your loss.

Perfect Russ nice work!! I’ve done this with 100% pork and frozen cheese cubed up. No issues just don’t go with high temps during smoking.

I'm happy you mentioned the KitchenAid mixer attachment - I have one and this will be my first go at doing venison summer sausage using that before I make a larger investment. Fingers crossed - great video! Mouth was watering!

Hi Russ, I hope you are well ! Wow this was really interesting to watch, it’s so cool that there are so many variations of sausages and I have never heard of this one.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Hi Angie, great to see you stop by, thank you! Yeah, summer sausage has been around a long time, but as I said in the video it was originally fermented as a way to preserve it. Way before refrigeration was invented, but there are people that still ferment it today as well. I would love to try that myself at some point.

KZbin isn’t sending me ring bell notifications for your stuff. So annoying. Great video, Rus. We love summer sausage... that turned out great!

I love venison jalapeno cheese summer sausage. It's been a while sense I have made any. To save a few bucks , i use store bought cheddar and cut into small cubes and pickled jalapeno slices chopped up and it comes out perfect. I have even made it in the oven when smoking was not possible. Great video on technique Russ.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I was so impressed with the results as well as the guy that furnished the venison for this sausage, that I'm ready to do this again. He ate some of this and said I'm getting ready to hook you up with more deer meat! LOL! Good stuff for sure. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

My dad and I followed this recipe last week and we have to say, it was the best summer sausage we ever had in our lives! Thanks for sharing this video!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

[@robbyosborne9708]

@@SmokyRibsBBQ Anytime man. What we did was that we converted our Alto Shaam convection oven that we have into a smoker to smoke the sausages. And it worked perfectly.

[@robbyosborne9708]

We made the sausage again last week and this time, we added more jalapeno. And it was even better than before.

[@CookingWithRy]

Summer Sausage is fantastic, but I've never had it with those ingredients. I've been missing ou!

I have always loved summer sausage, and I don't think I've ever had it with cheese and jalapenos either, but after doing this, I don't think no other one could compare. Thanks for stopping by Ry!

Thanks I appreciate it! That is actually my neighbors house beside me. We did fine in the storm. The tree in the front yard took a bad beating but that was about it.

[@jamesstanlake4064]

Trying new things is how we grow and learn more in depth cooking skills. I did the same with cold smoking cheese and it led me to branch out into other snacks like smoking nuts and a host of other foods. Love it!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Absolutely, I couldn't agree more! I love anything charcuterie related. I enjoy seeing and tasting the final results more than anything. I've never smoked nuts, but I will have to give that a try. I love eating them. Thanks for watching!

@@SmokyRibsBBQ Almonds smoke good as well as Pecans but my all time favorite are Pistachio nuts . Just mix them with the jarred fine minced garlic and smoke them. I call them crack because you eat one and you are addicted!!

Not sure why I haven't seen this video but I'm here now. I gotta tell you Rus, that looked so darn good. Nice job buddy.🤘

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Joe! I was really happy with the way this one turned out. Thanks for checking it out brother!

[@jamesables1983]

Looks good as always, I've been trying to learn about making snack sticks and summer sausage and I've learned a trick, I use a couple pounds of hickory smoked bacon when I grind the meat and it helps give you that smokey flavor, Wrights makes a thick cut that grinds well when partially frozen, just thought I'd let you know in case you want to try it. Happy smokin!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Great tip! The smoker I used along with the hickory sawdust really gives it just the perfect amount of smoke. I was very happy with the results on flavor and smokiness, but that is a great idea for anything you want to add a smoky flavor to, even burgers.

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Dang'it man you killing me.. Now I need the damn mixer.. lol! Maybe next month..laughing.. Excellent tutorial Rus! It looks incredible and looks way better than the stuff I've seen before .

Man that mixer is a life saver and I really don't think I could have got that good of an emulsion without it. Well worth the bucks. Thanks brother, I appreciate you checking it out! Good stuff!

[@BBQPITDOG]

That looked amazing Rus, slices with the cheese and jalapeno flakes in there! I think that you even surprised yourself with the final product! I wonder....how much smoke flavor do you actually get with that casing...it looks like it wouldn't absorb much smoke. Fantastic video bud! Take care over there!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Rob! Yeah I was pretty stoked how well it turned out! Don't let the casings fool you. They are fibrous casing and allow smoke penetration. The smoke flavor was seriously spot on. I still can't get over how well balanced this sausage is.

[@calvinfoster5245]

Hey Russ nice video and I learned a lot. I'm making summer sausage venison/pork this weekend. My question is how do you storage your cooked sausage? Do you vacuum seal it in the casing or freeze it without vaccuum sealing.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I first let all the water dry off after it comes out of the water bath for a few hours, then I cut the links in sections or in half, and I vacuum pack, then freeze. You can leave the fibrous casing on and remove it after it's thawed, or you can remove it before you vacuum pack and freeze. It freezes well, but I do recommend vacuum sealed to keep moisture and ice crystals from getting into the bag and giving it a freezer burnt taste.

[@calvinfoster5245]

@@SmokyRibsBBQ Thks. I appreciate the info.

[@duanehenicke6602]

For a man that says it's just a hobby, sure have some fancy toys! I wonder if it takes a special stuffing tube for that large casing?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Most home sausage makers just use the largest one that comes with the stuffer. I’m making bologna soon and the casings are 8”x24”. That should be fun

[@professionalidiots101]

You have some seriously good equipment there!! Please could you tell me what you use to lubricate the blade/disc... Sausage looks excellent 😁😁😁

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

There are a lot of food grade lubes available on Amazon, but I used the aerosol duck fat. You could use any cooking oil. You will be washing all of the parts when your done, so nothing will get rancid and gummed up.

[@professionalidiots101]

@@SmokyRibsBBQ Thank you, I was concerned that cooking oil would disappear too quickly. Many thanks for your reassurance and tips 👍👍👍

[@DB-td9uy]

Great video! You hit the nail on the head. You mentioned freezing your finished product, I’m having an issue when I defrost my frozen summer sausages they seem to be “too wet”. I use a vacuum sealer. Is this common? Is there something I can add to reduce the wetness? The only difference between what you do and i is that I use the oven method to cook the sausage. Any advice is appreciated.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

It shouldn't be any wetter than what it was when it was frozen. Freezing is not going to create additional moisture in the sausage. Vacuum sealing removes all the air, so it's not able to get additional moisture from the air. Perhaps cut down on the amount of water you use if you don't want as much moisture in the sausage. The texture and moisture level in mine was identical to the way it was before it was frozen. Hope that helps. You could also reach out to Eric from the 2 Guys & A Cooler youtube channel. Sausage is about all he does. Very smart guy.

[@DB-td9uy]

Ok thanks, I'll try both.

[@carlmerkey9370]

Great video was wondering what you use to sharpen your knives thanks

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

That was definitely some premium summer sausage. I knew you fished, Russ, but I didn't know you hunted. Was that venison that you harvested? I really need to trying making cased sausage of several varieties. I've got plenty of venison to use up; adding 85# of ground to the freezer over the weekend (plus chops, tenderloins, and a few roasts). There's a pile of meat on a 215# (field-dressed) buck.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I use to hunt every year, but I was always a much better fisherman than a hunter lol! One of my welders at work hooked me up with the deer meat. After he tried this sausage he said he was gonna hook me up with a bunch more as long as I kept making this.

I love ps seasoning garlic summer sausage..I do use encapsulate citrus acid, I don't know how you keep all the blood out of your meat?? wish mine would come out that clean...

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

My buddy Jeff from Dead Broke BBQ just sent me photos over of that exact same garlic summer sausage from PS Seasoning that he made yesterday. He added in the encapsulated citric acid as well. Looking forward to watching his video on it next week when it comes out.

[@jdnboyy]

I'm using the same exact smoker and sometimes my summer sausage is crumbly on the inside what do you think I could be doing wrong?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Sounds like it needs to be more emulsified and use a binder such as non fat dry milk powder. I would use at least 20 percent fat to lean ratio as well.

[@nwrvt]

Pro tip...If you use ice at the end of your grind it’ll push the remaining meat out and clean most of it out of your plate.

[@IvanIvanov-vy7pt]

I'm a beginner and I'm told that the mixture they sell with the kit makes the sausage too salty. From your experience, do you find it is true?

No, not salty at all! I’ve never heard that before. These had an amazing flavor and well balanced

How does hanging the sausage differ from laying out on the racks?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

You can do it either way, your choice. Not much of any difference at all as far as the actual cooking, but you may end up with grill indentions on the sausage. I prefer to hang all my sausage.

[@gregorycooper7962]

HOW LONG WILL THE SAUSAGE LAST un-refridgerated?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

This is not a dry cured sausage and it retains a lot of moisture so it must stay refrigerated until you are ready to eat it to prevent spoilage

When do you add the water

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

As I shown in the video. Just prior to mixing
