Ingredients
- 5 lbs Pork butt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp Cure #1 level
- 1 1/3 tsp white pepper heaping
- 3 cloves garlic large; pressed
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 cup ice water
Instructions

- Grind pork thriugh a small size plate - 1/8" (3mm).

- Stuff into 28-32mm hog casings, twist into 6-7" links, then cut into individual links.
- Preheat smoker to 225F (indirect heat).
- Place sausages in the smoker and smoke until the sausages reach 160F internal temperature, about 1.5 hours.
- Cool the sausage down. Cooling can be achieved quickly by placing sausage in a Ziploc bag and into anice bath. It with result in a fuller, more plump product as opposed to slow cooling at room temperature.
- Store in a refrigerator wrapped in butcher's paper. Or vacuum seal and freeze.
- If desired, place the sausage in a cold room or a curing chamber to dry at 55F and 75% Rh. This will improve the texture, flavor intensity, and shelf life.
