Andouille on the BGE?

I made some Chicken and Andouille gumbo tonight. This one is crazy meaty... four pounds of chicken breast and two pounds of Andouille. Over rice and of course with a crawfish boil potato salad on top.

This got me thinking, has anyone made their own Andouille on the Big Green Egg? If so, please share.

    Lookin' mighty tasty.  I would have guessed you, given LaPlace is the andouille capitol of the world.

    Thanks @Mickey but we haven't tackled andouille yet. Too many sausages, too little...hell, no room in our freezer right now. I'll get to it someday, but if anybody has a good recipe, I'm all ears.

    +1 on the recipe on this. My butcher makes his own and has promised me the recipe. I am supposed to pick up a belly from him this week so I will try to get it.

    It's on my to do list. I enjoy doing a lot of cajun-style cooking (more in the winter) and can't find andouille sausage here in the Toronto area. We have a 3-day weekend coming up this weekend so I may give it a try then.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Sausage, Andouille, Homemade

    HOW TO MAKE ANDOUILLE AND BOND WITH YOUR EGG!!

    INGREDIENTS:
    2 1/2 lbs boneless pork butt, 1/2-inch pieces
    1/2 lb pork fat, cut into pieces
    1/4 cup Essence, recipe follows
    2 Tbs paprika
    1 Tbs minced garlic
    1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    1 tsp salt
    3/4 tsp file powder
    3/4 tsp chili powder
    3/4 tsp crushed red pepper
    1/2 tsp ground cumin

    Procedure:

    1. Combine the pork, pork fat, Essence, paprika, garlic, black pepper, salt, file, chili powder, red pepper, and cumin in a large bowl and mix well. Pass through a food grinder fitted with a coarse die. (Alternately, transfer in 2 batches to a food processor and process until finely ground.) Transfer to a large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

    2. To test the seasoning, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small skillet, and cook about 2 teaspoons of the mixture. Adjust seasoning, to taste.

    3. Using the sausage attachment on a mixer, stuff the meat into the casings, if being used. Twist and tie off to make 4-inch sausages. Alternately, shape into patties.

    4. Preheat a home smoker to 250 degrees F. Smoke the sausage for 11/2 hours. Remove from the smoker and use as desired.

    Recipe Type: Meat

    Frequently, half the pork and fat is cubed to 1/4", the other half ground and the two are combined.
