Yes it is Bruce! Mom said she wasn't going to be around when we make it the next time, of course she said that last time too. It is a solid 12 hour day and that is with all the meat cut up and ground before hand!

That's the way I like it Dwayne. I fry it down a little to render a little fat out of it then add the potatoes. Now I've gotten myself hungry again.

That's a serious smokehouse Dwayne, how do you fire it up? Bet that was some work. Enjoyed the pictures.

Randy, I was wondering when you were going to chime in. lol We have a propane burner on the inside with a heat distrubution table over it and the bottle on the outside of course! And for the smoke we have an old bbq pit with a stove pipe coming off the top and into the smoke house, this way we don't have the ash blowing directly on the sausage. The cool thing about this smoke house is that it IS portable! We have a axle under it. It also has a rotisserie we can put in it. I will try to find some pictures to show you what I mean. My father in law, myself and a buddy of my father in law built this.

Ferdi, I'll gladly post it as soon as I catch up. I haven't posted the potato stew recipe yet. Looks like they will have to wait until after the gathering weekend.

What kind of wood did you use? I'll guess Pecan.

Yes ONLY pecan! I have several trees and my dad saves the hulls from cracking pecans so we stay stocked up pretty good.

I figured that Dwayne, that's why I didn't ask. ONLY is right. Several trees myself, that's all I smoke with. Next time you do that, hang some sirloin tip strips in there for jerky.
