Chef Tom is literally the most beautiful and humble person. He just makes food with no fuzz. He's never elitist, never saying "you HAVE to do this, buy this, do that, or else the dish will be RUINED". He just makes good food, always sliding in "you could do this or that, it all depends on what you like" and he's always obviously excited about the food he makes. And the little greeting at the end of every video, "let's be good to one another" always melts my heart. I got nothing but love for you Chef Tom!
Thank you so much! 🙏 I truly appreciate the kind words. I love that that’s what you’re taking away from these videos. Always room to learn and grow and appreciate and be good! ✌️
Thanks Tom I really follow your teaching here in Costa Rica I have a offset smoker that I build and I use Local Guyaba wood... Amazing recipes thanks again....
Brought me back to my youth when my grandparents owned a small grocery store. We made a lot of fresh sausage (mostly Italian and German). As always great video.
As someone who works in the industry, I can 100% appreciate the effort you put into doing this video. Making sausage is practically an art form, and not at all as easy as you make it seem here in this video. You did the process justice. This is some legit culinary content right here. Well done. Thanks Chef.
Chef Tom is a national treasure. Put him on the Mt Rushmore of BBQ. He’s a never ending book of “Everyman” simplicity in his video explanations. Hey Chef…speaking of book…when can we expect an ATB coffee table recipe edition for the holidays? ❤️🇨🇦
Just made a batch of these today for smoking tomorrow. The remains sitting in the hopper of my sausage stuffer was plenty to make a good sized patty though, and I have fried that and eaten it with very big pleasure. Loads of fantastic flavour and juices and I still have the smoke flavour and 'bark' to look forward too 😋
Man these snags like like a million bucks ,my mouth is watering I can taste from Australia man I’m having a sausage fit ..They look nice bit of salad can of beer how good is life cheers ❤️🙏👍🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸🧌
Hi from Melbourne Australia Tom , I love your excellent approach to explaining how to create awesome BBQ, (Ive got 8 smoker's/Grills ) My wife thinks I have a problem!! (Made a home built wine barrell smoker and an offset from a 1950's refrigerator) I've watched this video several times and I want to create my own home made sausage (You may be sending me to the divorce court!!) Cheers from downunder
Chef Tom, I would love to see you make some smoked Beef Sticks. We used to eat those all the time growing up. We used to go fishing all the time and stop by a grocery store to get a few to snack on during our trip. That would be great thanks so much!
Quick tip. If you push the meat to the end of the horn before loading the casing, you dont need to mess with trying to keep the horn/casing moist because it gets lubricated by the casing sliding over the meat.
I love this channel. I learn so much and all these recipes. Good Lord. I’m saving up for a pellet smoker and a griddle. I have a Pitt barrel smoker and she does the job but I want a little more control over my cook and the griddle just because. Those sausages cooked on a griddle would be fire. Some peppers and onions. Crazy good.
I've never watched a video on sausages being made before. Then again I've also never been more certain that I'd gladly lick sausage juices off of another mans fingers. My god these look incredible, that was an experience. Awesome video and an easy subscribe!
Awsome video, was about to try this one on my own also love the channel! Quick question - I notice you smoke this at under 200° As an amateur I don't know the answer but I was under the impression that when smoking at that low a temp there's a chance for bacteria to grow without using a curing salt. Is that needed only with pork??
Great question. It's not a long enough period of time to worry about bacterial growth. You want to avoid having food in the 'danger zone' (40 to 140 Fahrenheit) for more than four hours. This smoke should take significantly less time. This is also one of the reasons why we shock the sausages in an ice bath. This chills them quickly and brings them down to a safe temperature quickly. Thanks for watching.
Chef Tom question on this sausage why did you not use any cure you're not worried about any bacteria growth since you're cooking at a low temperature. I definitely want to try this recipe but I was wondering should I use cure thanks for your reply great video.
I not sure if I wanna risk a brisket to make those Delicious 😋 links but I would sure buy a mess of em are they on sale yet? ATBBQ SMOKED BRISKET CHEDDAR SAUSAGE BOY THAT SOUNDS GOOD 👌🏻🙏🏾
You have an idea, then a plan, then you execute. Whatever you like is what you choose and you enjoy at the end. It's real home cooking. No "it's not true to the culture/region" bs people get bent out of shape about. ...look music, art and food can all come from inspiration. Real artist work with what they have to make something beautiful.
Got a scale right there, may as well use it and weigh out the salt (especially) and spices vs. guessing with the measuring cups. Makes it easier to reproduce the recipe in the future. I like your twist method! Will have to give that a try next time I make sausage.
This particular brisket is a Creekstone Farms Prime brisket (great quality) and retails for $164, though you certainly can purchase lower grade lesser briskets for cheaper. www.creekstonefarms.com/collections/roasts/products/usda-prime-whole-brisket?variant=5591501996060 Thanks! -Tom
@@allthingsbbq Thank you Tom. Appreciate it! We pay double the price for US Brisket but for obvious reasons... We're not really neighbours, a fact that always brings a tear to my eye when you fire up one of your pits! Keep up the good work! Much love from Switzerland! Ely
Still plenty smoky, and you can smoke them a second time to reheat them. If you skip the ice bath and go directly to vac pack you will have carryover cooking to consider.
@@allthingsbbq I was thinking vac pack them first and then into the ice bath to cool them, but if it doesn't strip any smoke flavour then it's a bit of a pointless extravagance.
@allthingsbbq This is probably a dumb question, but I’ve seen some people use curing salt in their seasoning. Is there a reason why you didn’t? I know it’s used to curb botulism, but can you avoid that by going to higher temps like you did, or is it because it’s beef instead of pork. I’m getting into the sausage making, and was just curious.
You don't need curing salt when making fresh sausages that will be hot smoked. Most of the time when it is added to a fresh sausage it's for the color. -Tom
Brisket has alot of connective tissue that only breaks down internally with heat + time. The sausage is ground up so it doesn't take as long. Think of chuck steak vs chuck burger.
We've got a brisket video coming out on it, stay tuned. Just did a video showing how the KJ SloRoller works on the Large BGE: ua-cam.com/video/1qWeD2hzlQk/v-deo.html
What is the lowest temp you can run the pit at before pink salt is needed for safety reasons? You mentioned you were aiming for about 200, and they went on at 185 - 190. At what point do we go from a safe "low and slow" to where one would need the Prague powder to absorb more smoke over a longer cook time?
I'm not sure of the exact answer to that question, but keep in mind that for general food safety, you don't want your food (especially ground meat which has had the opportunity to mix surface bacteria throughout the product) to stay in the "danger zone" (40ºF-140ºF) for more than four hours, or you risk other food born bacterial growth. As far as food borne botulism goes, the CDC says there are only about 25 cases per year in the United States. It's fairly rare. If you're concerned about it, then I would recommend using the curing salt. I'm certainly not opposed to it. Thanks. -Tom
Hi Tom! Nothing really changes on a pellet smoker. Just set your temp @ 200. Adding a tube smoker isn't a bad idea. (We sell those here: www.atbbq.com/accessories/grill-accessories/smoke-boxes/a-maze-n-tube-smoker-smoke-generator.html) Keep in mind, with a wood fire, the lower the temp, the more un-burnt wood particles there are in the air - therefore, the lower the temp, the more "smokey" something will taste. Thanks for watching!

13:50 some serious rhymes 😂

Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoy the channel and we appreciate your support.
This is maybe a dumb question? Whats the best way to rewarm your leftover smoked sausages? Resmoke them or grill them?
If I wanted to make snack sticks using this recipe, would I add Cure #2 for extended air drying time?
Did you and Chud plan on dropping sausage videos on the same day together?
Happy coincidence!
I was wondering the same thing. I got the alert for this one while watching Chud's
great minds...
@@ChudsBbq Everything Bradley and Tom put out seems to be top notch. Thx to both for the methods/recipes
these look so good!! any chance i can come grab two of these from your store tomorrow??
We do not sell any food from our store. Were you looking at a particular item, however?
But hey, there’s a couple left in the fridge. Come and get ‘em!
@@tperiodjackson @allthingsbbq im so sad I just saw this! Would love it if you offered a grilling class though, Chef T!
Look great. Would it be an option to bring them half way up in the smoker and gently finish them off directly over the coals?
I'm sure that would work. This method might sacrifice a little tenderness though, so keep that in mind. Thanks for watching!
Could you do a traditional Italian sausage with just salt, black pepper and fennel seed?
Does the ice bath take off any of the smoke flavour from the sausages? If so could you vacuum pack them first and then throw them in the ice bath?
Still plenty smoky, and you can smoke them a second time to reheat them. If you skip the ice bath and go directly to vac pack you will have carryover cooking to consider.
@@allthingsbbq I was thinking vac pack them first and then into the ice bath to cool them, but if it doesn't strip any smoke flavour then it's a bit of a pointless extravagance.
"Thats a fatty sausage"....LMAO!!!
Chef, watching your videos is dangerous to my bank account. Is that a Big Green Egg in the background?
It is a Big Green Egg. We just did a brisket video on it and will be publishing it soon, be on the look out.
Ever tried kransky mate? Probably the best pork based sausage out
Do you have to smoke them right away or can I vacuum seal them in packs of 6 and just cook it later as needed?

Damn dude a lot of work goes into making those bad boys lol

What do you use to grind the pepper or do you get it that way? A half cup is a lot grind with any pepper grinder I have.
I was hoping chef would have checked the sausage for snap but it does look very good.
Mouth watering goooodness
What’s the best way to heat up the sausage that has been dunked in ice?
did he cut up the deckle with the brisket too?
Fu¢k me! I have to try this recipe. You always do such a great job on your vids. These look so good...👍

Why is there no need for a curing salt,, I just bought a meat grinder, not really sure when to use it?

if your planning on icing and vacuuming the sausages use hi-temp cheddar or your not going to eat it right away.
