Me and my neighbor made a Landjaeger press. Not for smoking, just for pressing the sausage flat.

Very interesting. You've peeked my German curiosity ;). How big are the chambers (hard to tell in the pics).

Can't wait to see pics of how the sausages turn out when smoked & dried.

Everytime you open a NEPAS post it's like stepping into the classroom! Great stuff, love seeing your projects and the food that follows.

Soaked the casing in water with a few Tbs of vinegar, This makes the veins transparent.
Going with 130* with hickory smoke then PID bumping to 150 for 2 hours then 160 for a few hours.

Here are the Landjaeger at 1140am after hanging all night. The R/H is 67% and they are getting darker and shrinking.

I was going to type something nice here, but I have to go now so I can borrow the wife's Garmin for directions to your house...

Nice Nepas

Tent - he keeps his recipes secret (joke on the bradley forum) but he's pretty free with directions to his house. You should time it to get there June 25th for the NEPAS smokeout.

Yeah Debs vittles are great.

I just could not wait on the Landjaeger so i had to cut one up.

Took the one on the string to my neighbors.

I hope to make it. Deb, I hear your deserts are legendary!

I have a new idea rolling around in my head..... but I'm told I need to make the pecan/makers mark /caramel topping again for Mrs. Nepas. I'll probably do the chocolate bourbon pecan cheesecake again plus a second one.
