I grew up making our own, my grandparents always dried sausage in a smoke house, and made fresh sausage and bacon.
We put a cold smoke on it, and hope for cool dry weather, this should be ready in about a week.

I looked at that picture early this morning on my phone and all seen was a bunch of horseshoes.

Yes, let us know your process and results. My wife bought a sausage kit a year ago, but only been using it for jerky.

That's a lot of sausage

We hang it upside down the first night and put a smoke on it, the gut has to dry or it will break and hit the floor.
I will flip them this morning.

Dad's was salt, black pepper and ground mustard. For some reason Mom didn't like it with red pepper. They did use quite a bit of black pepper.

My grandparents didn't use red pepper either.

How long do they last without refrigeration? That's what they are for, right? To be something you can keep without otherwise preserving it?

When we get them out we wrap them and put them in the freezer, take out when we want to eat them.
I let them set out for days without any problems.

Ohhhh... I thought they were a dry sausage to be kept without refrigeration. Thanks. Hope they are as good as they look.

They will last a long time, without refrigeration, how long I don't know, they an ate up too fast.
