In addition to what Chuckwagon said, I would still use the cure in the unsmoked/fresh frankfurters. Without the addition of a curing agent, and without smoking them, you will not get the typical reddish or pink colour in the sausages.

Thanks for the quick replies. I kind of figured I would go with the recommended amounts per pound, I might just have to adjust the quantity of salt called for in the recipes. And no, it's not for dried or aged sausages, but for hot smoked ones. Again, thanks for the info :grin:

Can you provide some more details on the red unit. What are your electronics, is that one of the hardwood puck burners on the side? The main body is a 17gal(IMP) drum. The lid is off of a Weber Smokey Joe grill, as are the grates. The smoke generator is an aluminum tube which I machined myself. The...

In the world of low and slow BBQ, we do something quite similar with sausage-they are called 'fatties'. Now we may have to rename them :wink: We secure the fillings with bacon instead of skewers :cool: Here are a couple I have done in the past. Italian Antipasto Fattie http://i835.photobucket.com/al...

Got her figured out :cool: When looking for answers, seek out the source. I PM'ed Seminole last night with the same question. Who better to ask, right? He was quick to respond and solved the problem. The meats should add up to 1000g, so I was told to add an additional 100g of pork trimmings. Thanks ...
