Hot dogs 1st attempt.
-
Recipe- 8.33 lbs. 5lbs of 70/30 ground pork, 3.33 lbs of 50/50 pork venison mix. (Cleaning out the freezer).
I used this amount because it is 1/3 of a 25lb batch & is perfect size for my bowl cutter.
Excalibur frank & bologna seasoning.
Sure gel
Smoked meat stabilizer, (wanted to smoke right after mixing
40 oz h2o/ice mix.
26mm cellulose casings
Mixed with a bowl cutter & stuffed with waltons 11lb stuffer.
Smoked untill approx 130 deg , then finished in a turkey fryer until 160
Ended with an ice bath.

IVERYAN Great looking dogs. Great job. Hope to get a bowl chopper some day.

Looks great. Curious how the taste of a mostly pork hot dog will be.
-
Great job!
-
They look good let us know how they turned out and if you would add anything else. Always looking for good recipes.
-
Those look great. I want to try these someday.
-
Looks good…I’ll be trying hot dogs for the first time this week…wish me luck !!!
-

My first attempt at hot dogs, just in time for the 4th…ground the meat block once through a 10mm plate, 2 times through a 3mm, then back in the freezer for 45 minutes, 2 more times through the 3mm using my #22 Waltons grinder…less than 5 minutes per grind, easy peasy…I think the grind looks a lot like something a buffalo chopper would produce…smoke, sous vide, ice bath, refrigerate, vac pack and freeze

Great work, looks like hotdog consistency to me.
Are you happy with the flavor? -
