Big Guy........What did you use to emulsify the meat when you made your hot dogs? Would you care to share your recipe? When my wife saw your pics she just has to try it.

Thank-you

to emulsify the mix, I ran it with a couple of ice cubes through my food processor. I had to do it in small batches until all the mince was emulsified

Hot Dogs


2.5 Lbs. Chicken
2.5 Lbs. Pork
2/3 cup milk powder
4 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. special meat binder
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 Tbs. Paprika
1 Tbs. white pepper
1 tsp. Prague powder #1
1 tsp. mace
1 ½ tsp. liquid smoke
1 cup ice water

Grind semi frozen meat through a fine plate Keep cold. Add spices and re-grind through a fine plate. In small batches of 1.5 lbs. put in a food processor with two ice cubes, blend until a smooth paste, and repeat until all meat mixture is emulsified. Stuff into sheep cases, link and let rest overnight to meld the spices and set the links. Then into a smoker with the dampers wide open @120-130 F for an hour or so to dry the surface. Once they are dry to the touch increase temp to 140 and apply cherry smoke dampers 50% FOR 3 HRS, INCRESE TEMP TO 150 FOR ANOTHER HOUR AND FINALLY INCREASE TEMP OF SMOKER TO 170 f AND HOLD UNTIL INTERNAL TEMP IS 155.Dang cap lock! once you get to temp remove from smoker and plunge into ice water. once the internal temp is below 110 hang to dry and bloom for a couple of hours at room temps. de-link and eat or package.
