Cannot WAIT for the gumbo vid! I think you need to do a whole creole series this Summer.. BBQ gator, Crawfish, jambalaya, gumbo and so much more would be a real hit in my opinion
Hi Sir with all do respect it’s pronounced ON-do-ie. I’m from the bayou and the birth place of this wonder German Coonass sausage is LaPlace Louisiana, about 20 minutes from my current home and about an hour from where I grew up on the bayou. Love the vids, they were actually my getaway when I was recovering from throat cancer last yr. Great work
Becoming one of my favorite cooking channels. One can tell you really care about your craft and it shows in every video. Keep on doing what you doing Bradley👌🏼
And that's why I've been asking for awhile for a andouille sausage video from you sir I know you'd have a nice little twist on it! Thank you for all the awesome videos! Can't wait to see what's new. Also the charcoal chimney is holding up very nicely for are wisconsin weather conditions!
Sounds like you have a great flavor profile with the seasonings you chose. I’m from the New Orleans area and will be trying your recipe shortly. The only main thing that I will change would be your choice of wood for the smoke. Andouille is traditionally smoked over Pecan wood. Try that the next time you make these and see what a difference it makes.
You are the sausage master I’ll give you that Bradly, I’m just starting out on my sausage making quest and have saved all you sausage vids, my meat grinder and sausage stuffer arrive this week, can’t wait
Man Bradley, those look great!! I remember my grandmother making those back when I was a child. Down Lafayette, La way I may say. Another great video! Definitely gonna try this.
Great minds think alike. I am stuck working Mardi Gras so I made a big pot of gumbo with shrimp and some homemade smoked sausage up here at work for my guys. I was thinking about Andouille as I was making my rounds after dinner. When I made my last batch of sausage I ground it super coarse mixed in seasoning then reground with a finer plate so I didn't have to pull out my mixer. I was thinking I should have kept half of it super coarse then ground the other half then mix it all up. Would make a good traditional andouille texture. Bradley, just remember if someone doesn't walk through the kitchen asking if somethings burning you haven't taken your gumbo roux far enough.
Have you made a video that includes the prep of the casing? I am a huge fan, love the format of your videos too. Keep 'em coming. Patreon Brother! Cheers! 🍻
His first sausage videos do. Soak casings in hot water for an hour before casing. Open up one end of the casing to allow water to enter. Use your fingers to squeeze the water all the way through the casing and flush the inside.
For Cajun and creole food, use some white pepper, too. You know about the holy trinity of Cajun/creole cooking, but there’s a secret extra trinity of white pepper, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. They balance each other. White pepper hits you right away and in the front of the mouth but fades away. Cayenne seems absent at first but sneaks up on you afterward and gets more the back of your mouth. Black pepper is the middle note. Combined they provide a nice even heat throughout the mouth from beginning to end. If you make some Cajun/creole food that seems like it needs more heat, but then it does start sneaking up on you and building bite after bite, try adding white pepper instead of more cayenne.
I’ve been following you for a little while now and have followed your recipes step by step. I’ve made four batches of different sausages and each one is a hit with friends and family. Thank you for sharing !
Pecan is traditional for smoking andouille and can confirm it tastes great on just about any pork sausage. Dried thyme (I prefer the leaves instead of powder) is also a great addition to Cajun seasoning.
Been wondering, for those of us that do not have a chud box, could one use the cold smoker contraption in the cooking chamber of an offset with the sausage sitting on the grate?
Awesome. I've been watching you and waiting for your to do a video like this for a while. I got a lot of ducks this year and wanted to turn them into sausage
noob question. my spiral cold smoker failed over night (saw dust was prob damp). the safe answer is probably to toss this batch in the garbage--but is there a more or less official ruling on how long the meat can stay in a smoker without active smoke? Meat probably got a few hours of smoke before I went to bed. Woke up in the middle of the night, so i checked on it, and the smolder was dead. It was about 55F overnight (not that that is okay, just saying it wasn't 110 outside like during the summer). I finished off the smoking this morning, and then tossed them in the oven to bring to 150-175 internal.
Thanks for the Andouille video. It's great in gumbo but for jambalaya I prefer just a traditional smoked sausage. Which of your recipes would you say is closest to that flavor profile? Thank you in advance for answering.
did you try it? DO IT! it's got an incredible flavor. i didn't do the pork belly studs like he did, but the seasoning blend is delicious. i'm thinking of making some to keep around as an all purpose cajun/creole spice.
@@51rwyatt wanting to do the same next go around. I used what I think is a 13mm plate, and it turned out great. I'd like to also try out cold smoking them next time. Good luck!
I have a pit barrel "oil barrel" or drum smoker and I use a pellet cold smoking tube. Works really well. We're having friends over in a couple weeks for seafood gumbo, and I'll be able to brag that I made the andouille in the stew.@@zachyweezer
Great video! Can't wait to try it. After you smoke them, if you're not cooking them right away, how do you store them until you're ready to make your gumbo (or anything else for that matter)? Thanks!

Chud, I have an offset smoker that I’ve always been hesitant to try cold smoking as I’m not sure I could keep the temps low enough. If a person were to use a smoke generator as you are using in this video, would you let it smolder in the cook chamber or in the fire box. My cooker is an old country pecos for size reference. Thanks in advance.
It shouldn't matter, as the sawdust generates very little heat. FYI, I use one of those "snails" in my Weber Kettle to cold smoke, and it works just fine.
I have made andouille sausage with wild goose breast. 1. It fell apart so I need to add milk powder. 2. Goose meat is very lean what do you think a good meat mixture might be?

4:12 I always wait for that little detail in your videos 🤣😂
I've only been watching your channel for about 2 weeks, and you are already becoming my favorite cooking channel.
Great take on Andouille. Always a favorite to keep around for any dish.
I like the contrast of the different cuts of pork in the sausage. The pork belly worked out well. Cheers! 👍👍✌️
You're a true sausage artisan.
Bradley thanks for sharing your version on Andouille susage.Been waiting for a while for it.
How much liquid do you add?

I'm also close to LaPlace, 30 minutes. His version of andouille is nowhere near what is sold in LaPlace. It looks good but not andouille by any means.

I used to use the andoullie sausage kit from lem, but they discontinued it. Your recipe is my favorite of those I've been trying to replace it with.
That’s ball tickle when you’re doing the casings gets me belly laughing every time mate 😂😂😂. Love this recipe though you’re a bbq wizard 😊
I love my cold smoke generator. Makes the best Smokey bacon! Can’t wait to try this recipe

WHOLE HOG ON THE BIG CHUD BOX
As always another great recipe! And such a great video as well , love watching your stuff 😊
Make some smoked boudin and fried cracklins my dude! Goes great with a cold beer and helps maintain a true Cajun figure.
Happy Mardi Gras!
Was super excited for this one and it didn’t disappoint. I’m definitely trying the hang dry and long cold smoke next time. Awesome video!
Pecan is traditional for smoking andouille and can confirm it tastes great on just about any pork sausage. Dried thyme (I prefer the leaves instead of powder) is also a great addition to Cajun seasoning.
I would love to see your take on a maple sage snack stick
Great recipe Brad…happy Mardi Gras 🎉
Pork Steak and a baked sweet potato 😊 MMMMMMMMMMM😋

Yes you can. You can just use a smoke tube
Yep. Or use a Weber kettle. The ChudBox is essentially a big grill.
Robby, where do I get that spiral smoker?
Awesome. I've been watching you and waiting for your to do a video like this for a while. I got a lot of ducks this year and wanted to turn them into sausage
I just got my first Smoker!!!
question. when making the sausage do i have to use the casing?
Making this sausage today but going to add some green onions to it
Love when he doodles with the sausage casing
Thanks Brad. Great vid as usual.
I’m definitely subscribing!
Hey man...big fan of your vlogs...just bought my first stuffer ...grew up on linguica...make some man! Need a reference
Looks delicious, will be making my next batch based on this. Thanks for what you do !!
I borrowed a meat grinder/sausage maker but I still haven’t used it. I really need to give this a try 🔥
I make andouille a lot. Do some red beans and rice with it! Perfect for any meal!
Studdage 😊.
Looking forward to ChudGumbo.
Great video... That looked amazing. Appreciate you man.

Mate, the way to my heart. Onya.
Your next product you should sell is either paper towels or kitchen towels that says “pat is dry!” on them!
Huh, pretty sure that is a Nice and New Chud grill thermometer.
That looks great, Chunky Studdage!
I’ve said it before and I will say it again, the official taste test is my moment of zen.
Dude nice work.! Those look amazing.! Might try that with some wild duck I shot this year
Another great video! Just curious, have you ever made lamb merguez sausages? It's my new favorite from the local butcher.
So do I double the seasonings if I’m doing double the meat
That looks absolutely delicious!
Is there an alternative to the binder that you used, the milk powder, that has zero carbs? Can I use something else for a binder that is carb free?
A little different from the French andouillette, the coarse offal sausage, which I describe as being like an autopsy in a sock!
Thanks for the Andouille video. It's great in gumbo but for jambalaya I prefer just a traditional smoked sausage. Which of your recipes would you say is closest to that flavor profile? Thank you in advance for answering.

@@zachyweezer My recipe ups the cayenne and omits ingredients to simplify. I'll try to cold smoke it 10-12 hours.
Andouille
- Pork (90% lean) - 60%
- Pork belly chunks - 40%
Salt - 2%
Cure #1 -0.25%
Cayenne - 1%
Black pepper - 0.5%
Granulated garlic - 1%
Ice water - as needed
I'm curious why you sometimes use a chimney to start your fire and other times you throw the torch in the firebox opening?
Great video! Can't wait to try it. After you smoke them, if you're not cooking them right away, how do you store them until you're ready to make your gumbo (or anything else for that matter)? Thanks!
can you do this with beef only?
Use beef middling next time if you want it to be more like andouille from Louisiana
Love the energy man
Great video and recipe!
Bradley, on your website the Chud 65 advertises 1/4 but the video says 1/8 and 326 #s, how heavy is it with 1/4 inch
That looks amazing! Next on the list to make.
great recipe! !
on the other hand, if you ever come to Europe and find "andouille" on the menu of a restaurant, you have a 100% chance of being surprised by our "andouille!
this will NEVER be the louisiana recipe
the "andouille" in europe has absolutely nothing to do with that of louisiana! !
The difference between the 2 is absolutely huge! !

the closest thing to a louisiana recipe is a caribbean recipe.
Link for cold smoker?
Love your videos mate, your a crack up👍🍺
Celery seed was key.
Looks awesome! Thank you, man
Which brand of milk powder do you use? Is it the stuff from the grocery store?
These puppies would go great with a good'ol batch of red beans n rice!!!
OUTSTANDING !!!
Do you think you could add the pork belly to other sausages that are cold smoked?
I bet most people can agree here the to be continued to this is a Gumbo. Even though it is not a Texas dish..😉
Hope Rillons will be one of your creole recipes. Smoked of course.
Nice Sausage! If you’re ever looking for ideas, ever thought about making some linguica?
This is beautiful
I made this and it has a little kick from the black pepper and cayenne and you can taste the oregano in it.
Nice
Looks tasty ready to try this out
Need to do an episode on that Dried Cold Smoked Sausage like you get at Stonewall Smokehouse
Chud, I have an offset smoker that I’ve always been hesitant to try cold smoking as I’m not sure I could keep the temps low enough.

Can you tell me how much water to add to your sausage recipe
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE
Anyone know you wouldn't also grind the pork belly bits in what the the rest?
I don't see a lot of love for Portuguese food, could you make some linguica or chourico soon?
I love andouille
What brand of grinder are you using?
'Meat Your Maker' grinders
Next I'd like to see you make South African 'Boerewors' which translates to 'Farmer Sausage'.
You forgot the file powder, traditional Andouille always has it.
would love to see your recipe.

Once again Chudd's up to dirty shenanigans when it comes to sausage making. Haha
I have made andouille sausage with wild goose breast.
1. It fell apart so I need to add milk powder.
2. Goose meat is very lean what do you think a good meat mixture might be?
Is the cold smoke only if you're storing the sausage before cooking? Can I go straight from the dry overnight hang to the smoker the next day?
If you overnight in the refrigerator, you can, and you don't need the pink salt. Keep it out of the 40-140F "danger zone".
