Corn husk sausage and a visitor

fire egger

Got a glimpse of this on FTV the other day, so here's my version.
1 lb. ground pork
Hatch red chile powder, S&P, garlic, allspice, nutmeg,

Mixed, wrapped in corn husks


on indirect at 250 to 160 with a little mesquite




Right in the middle of all this, the neighborhood king buck wandered out



Had a very good smoke flavor, wasnt real happy with the outside, not brown obviosly, next time may pull at around 140, finish direct, any thoughts or advice from y'all would be appreciated.

Looks like a better idea on tv Kendall. Very good try though, and you never know till ya do. I'd prefer a simple and delicious fatty.. Always guaranteed to knock socks off.

Sir Brisket

advice go get that big deer when know one is looking And throw some venison sausage on the egg. Or some back strap. Yum Yum :laugh:

Fidel

Nice lookin 8 -- I'd pop him

Did the sausage pick up much smoke through the husks or did you open them on the egg for any of the cook?

Hoss

Dat DEER looks nice.The sausage looks good too.I would loose the cornhusks and just do a fatty.Save dem husks for tamales.

Beli

That's just beautiful!!! 8 points?

Hoss

Don't they though??? :laugh:

fire egger

It did,I used mesquite, which I like with red chile, very nice smoke flavor, and the rendered fat drained well, overall wasn't bad, I was expecting the outside to be a liitle more like a fatty, I thought it would be an interesting single serving type of thing.

fire egger

I love a fatty, I thought this might be an interesting single serving thing, overall wasnt bad, just would like a little more crunch I guess, so right, go with a fatty!!

fire egger

Yeah, that seems to be the thought, never know till you try though, I do love a fatty!!

fire egger

Thanks, we have watched him grow up, pretty cool, here's a pic from a few days ago.

Hoss

I agree,you don't know til ya try.Good post.If ya smoked a fatty first I bet they would be REALLY GOOD! :woohoo: :evil: Just FUNNIN!!! :laugh:

fire egger

LOL that is some good eats, I'd feel bad about shootin' him though, he's kinda like a nervous pet.

Beli

Great TKS!!

fire egger

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Fidel

He looks young to me...1.5 or maybe 2.5 years old.

He'll be a hoss in 2-3 years if he makes it that long.

Was the purpose of the corn husks to provide some flavor, moisture or both? I'm guessing you soaked them first?

There is one thing I like cooked in corn husks..... corn.....

Hoss

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

fire egger

Moisture retention, possibly flavor. They were soaked, apparently there is a BBQ place in KC that does this.
Dont forget tamales!!

fire egger

I believe he is from this one

thirdeye

Oh no I would never do that.... I've been around tamales all my life.

Hoss

Funny how dem big.ole smart ones always get their pic taken at nite ain't it???

Hoss

Definitely on my bucket list!!!

Fidel

The pronounced brow and brow tines don't look to be generational, but the snout markings do look passed down. That may be his Pa.

Can I come hang out in your backyard? I'll climb up the nearest tree and you won't know I'm there til you hear the bang.

Hoss

Hey man,this little runt is still hangin out in the Grove.Maybe yall can meet in January! He outta be grown by now!

fire egger

good lord Hoss, you got to let us know about these things, thats a dandy!!!

Hoss

Come on down to 'Loneyfest '11 and you may see him or his big brothers!!!

Fidel

You tell that sonuvagun he has a date with 180 grains of Remington's best lead traveling at about 2700 feet per second here in about 2 months.

Hoss

:laugh: Will DO!!!

BigA
