My Best Venison Summer Sausage!!!

kjthiltgen

I have officially made the best summer sausage to date on my large bge that I've only had a lil over a week!! I just mixed 4lbs ground venison with 1lb ground pork trimmings with the LEM summer sausage seasoning, stuffed them in casings and smoked for 7 hours at 230 with some hickory! Pulled them when they reached 160 and cooled them down. They are just fantastic!!! My next batch ill post pictures....sorry none this time! I was too excited and forgot! Next batch will be at least 10 pounds!!!

that looks great ,can you eat it right away.Im looking at mabey jerky soon. pork trimings .you mean just fat?

Hoss

You HAVE to add a lotta fat to venison because it is SO lean.Bacon works well.

Im going to try that, I love that stuff, but it is expensive to have it processed around my neck of the woods.

Hoss

VERY easy and inexpensive if you do it yourself. Try the HiMountain site,they sell kits.All you need is a grinder.

Right on Hoss.
High Mountain has some really great , easy to use stuff.
With regard to "pork trimmings" with venison for a sausage: I trim as much of the tallow from the venison (my family doesn't care for that taste)as I can and then bone out a pork shoulder.
I often go 50/50, but have also done a 35/65 pork to venison.

Hoss

That's the ticket!

Very easy to process a deer yourself. I process them myself every year, but im a hunter and have been doing it a while. That makes the cost very minimal to me....a very good thing!
