Question for the grilling experts

[HoneyDoo]

On a friends recommendation, I used a new meat market to make my deer sausage last year. It was'nt bad, just not what we were used to. Needless to say, I have a lot left over in the bottom of my deep freeze. My question is, can I thaw it out and dry it in a smoker? I have a large smoker, and was just wondering if you can dry sausage this way? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I am getting tired of eating this stuff all by my-self.

i would try it with a few links.......what have you got to loose. you might smoke it a little while then just let it hang outside to dry. a good cold, dry day will dry it fast. i even heard of people putting it in a brown paper bag and leaving it in the bottom of a refrig for a week.

boil a link in water for about 10 mins and taste it, if it is freezer burned tasting , your pretty much done for.

Pan B........thaw it, cut the casings off and make spaghetti or chili out of it

sausage gumbo ain't too shabby neither........

sure you can. we re-smoke and dry cooking sausage from the previous winter after the first cool norther. smoke it a few hours and then hang and dry in a cool place. a fan on low helps to speed drying.
