Sausage cooking

[1044]

Ok, before I give up :roll: ...I don't do much sausage cooking, but in the last few weeks I've thrown some on the smoker and grill, along with the main event.

It doesn't matter the brand, or whether I do 'em low-n-slow, or hot-n-fast, I still get what I consider too tough of a skin. :x Wazzup wit dat? :? :? :?

I cooked some brats for 2 1/2 hrs at 225deg or so and the skin was like rubber. So I left them on for 8 hrs at 225 deg and they were ok, really juicy. I don't know unless it's the length of time on the slow smoker.

1044, thats normal unless you buy Skinless Saugage, it will say this on the package. It is better to eat but harder to cook because it tends to dry out easily if not watched. :D :D :D

That "tough" skin is the bomb man! It's called al dente(with tooth.) I love it when it bites back! Woodman

I'm not talking about a "crispy snap" type, I mean you have to work at it. Sometimes it is just tough, as in you can't bite through it.

Thanks for da re plies. I guess I plied, then youse guys re plied.

Nigh on to all my experience is with Zummo Party Times ( I Luv Em ! )

I've found that if I try and rush them and get em done to quick they are tough to bite through.
Usually if I leave them on until the grease inside starts blowing thru the hide they are ready and I seldom have any trouble biting them off when they are cooked to that point.
Listen to the sausage...it'll tell you when it's ready.

Matter of fact I seldom have trouble biting anything off and chewing it up, may be why I'm so big.

Zummo's is what I have eaten for years. I tried Slovacek's jalapeno the other night. I wasn't impressed with their flavor. It was rather bland.

I guess I'm not cooking long enough, to the pop and squirt stage. I'll keep trying.

One thing I should mention 1044 is that I am cooking mine at home on a gas grill.
Might make a difference, but I often cook them on a huge trailer mounted smoker type cooker (with a box for the fire) and they do about the same, just takes longer.

I believe Zummo stays close to home. They may make it Houston, but I've never seen them there.

The Slovacek's Jap had a little jap flavor, very little, but the sausage mix had nothing to write home about. That's why I'm writing you guys. At about a buck each, I'll pass.

Burr's Country Store, in Vidor, has the best sausage and links, hot or otherwise, of any I've ever tasted. They're no more than 15 minutes away, so I guess I'll get those from now on.

OK , I'll run over to Vidor and pick up a dozen! The local grocery store chain here (Giant Eagle) actually makes great Kielbasa that I use! I get raves about it! Wood
