Nog from what you say, I understand one thing... The smoker, in addition to smoking... It also cooks, right?
To an extent.
You bring the smoker up to a certain temperature over time which does lightly cook the product.
The smoke goes in at that heat, and does a little of the same.

The hot water bath is what "cooks" the product to the final desired temperature.
Then of course it is immediately cooled in ice water.

Tremendous Munchies!!

Cheers

Was asked to post this, so...

Polish Hunter Sausage


Ingredients

20 pounds ground pork

5 lbs ground deer

Total 25 Pounds - Note can increase the amount of deer, but never go over 1/3 of that overall.

6 Tblsp salt

2 Tblsp Prague Cure # 1

4 Tblsp Ground Black Pepper

8 Tblsp Fresh Chopped Garlic

4 Tblsp Garlic Powder

3 Tblsp Ground Juniper Berries

8 Tblsp Marjoram

3/4 bag Yellow Mustard Seed

4 Tblsp Coriander Seed

4 Cups Ice Water

1/2 Mickey London Dry Gin

8 to 10 ounces Soy Binder

4 ounces powdered milk (binder)

Mix until "sticky" consistency.
Shoot into standard hog casings.

Put them into the smoker while you bring the heat up.
Smoke at medium heat.

Finish in Hot Bath to temp (155 is what I aim for internal temp).

Ice bath, then hang to bloom for at least 4 - 5 hours.

I usually do this same recipe in camp, but I wasn't on that hunt this year.
One of my Buddies generously thought of me and drug the cut home for me.

Moose Heart:

Stuffing:

Stuffed, into the clay baker and spiced:

Two hours at 325 and 20 minutes to rest:

Plated:

Then served with a fresh garden salad with Avos and a good Merlot:

Very tender, mild (young moose) and very juicy!

Cheers

Picked up some damn bug on the trip back east & feeling right poorly.

Was already digging out a jar of my canned homemade chicken stew...

Then a Good Buddy called: I'm just back from the Sound & have prawns, crabs, oysters & clams sitting here with your name on them..

Image

So a different kind of "Comfort Food" coming up it seems...
