Chef Tom is literally the most beautiful and humble person. He just makes food with no fuzz. He's never elitist, never saying "you HAVE to do this, buy this, do that, or else the dish will be RUINED". He just makes good food, always sliding in "you could do this or that, it all depends on what you like" and he's always obviously excited about the food he makes. And the little greeting at the end of every video, "let's be good to one another" always melts my heart. I got nothing but love for you Chef Tom!
Thank you so much! 🙏 I truly appreciate the kind words. I love that that’s what you’re taking away from these videos. Always room to learn and grow and appreciate and be good! ✌️
Thanks Tom I really follow your teaching here in Costa Rica I have a offset smoker that I build and I use Local Guyaba wood... Amazing recipes thanks again....
Brought me back to my youth when my grandparents owned a small grocery store. We made a lot of fresh sausage (mostly Italian and German). As always great video.
As someone who works in the industry, I can 100% appreciate the effort you put into doing this video. Making sausage is practically an art form, and not at all as easy as you make it seem here in this video. You did the process justice. This is some legit culinary content right here. Well done. Thanks Chef.
Just made a batch of these today for smoking tomorrow. The remains sitting in the hopper of my sausage stuffer was plenty to make a good sized patty though, and I have fried that and eaten it with very big pleasure. Loads of fantastic flavour and juices and I still have the smoke flavour and 'bark' to look forward too 😋
Chef Tom is a national treasure. Put him on the Mt Rushmore of BBQ. He’s a never ending book of “Everyman” simplicity in his video explanations. Hey Chef…speaking of book…when can we expect an ATB coffee table recipe edition for the holidays? ❤️🇨🇦
Quick tip. If you push the meat to the end of the horn before loading the casing, you dont need to mess with trying to keep the horn/casing moist because it gets lubricated by the casing sliding over the meat.
Man these snags like like a million bucks ,my mouth is watering I can taste from Australia man I’m having a sausage fit ..They look nice bit of salad can of beer how good is life cheers ❤️🙏👍🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸🧌
Chef Tom, I would love to see you make some smoked Beef Sticks. We used to eat those all the time growing up. We used to go fishing all the time and stop by a grocery store to get a few to snack on during our trip. That would be great thanks so much!
I've never watched a video on sausages being made before. Then again I've also never been more certain that I'd gladly lick sausage juices off of another mans fingers. My god these look incredible, that was an experience. Awesome video and an easy subscribe!
I love this channel. I learn so much and all these recipes. Good Lord. I’m saving up for a pellet smoker and a griddle. I have a Pitt barrel smoker and she does the job but I want a little more control over my cook and the griddle just because. Those sausages cooked on a griddle would be fire. Some peppers and onions. Crazy good.
Hi from Melbourne Australia Tom , I love your excellent approach to explaining how to create awesome BBQ, (Ive got 8 smoker's/Grills ) My wife thinks I have a problem!! (Made a home built wine barrell smoker and an offset from a 1950's refrigerator) I've watched this video several times and I want to create my own home made sausage (You may be sending me to the divorce court!!) Cheers from downunder
You have an idea, then a plan, then you execute. Whatever you like is what you choose and you enjoy at the end. It's real home cooking. No "it's not true to the culture/region" bs people get bent out of shape about. ...look music, art and food can all come from inspiration. Real artist work with what they have to make something beautiful.
Got a scale right there, may as well use it and weigh out the salt (especially) and spices vs. guessing with the measuring cups. Makes it easier to reproduce the recipe in the future. I like your twist method! Will have to give that a try next time I make sausage.
We've got a brisket video coming out on it, stay tuned. Just did a video showing how the KJ SloRoller works on the Large BGE: ruclips.net/video/1qWeD2hzlQk/видео.html
Chef Tom question on this sausage why did you not use any cure you're not worried about any bacteria growth since you're cooking at a low temperature. I definitely want to try this recipe but I was wondering should I use cure thanks for your reply great video.
Awsome video, was about to try this one on my own also love the channel! Quick question - I notice you smoke this at under 200° As an amateur I don't know the answer but I was under the impression that when smoking at that low a temp there's a chance for bacteria to grow without using a curing salt. Is that needed only with pork??
Great question. It's not a long enough period of time to worry about bacterial growth. You want to avoid having food in the 'danger zone' (40 to 140 Fahrenheit) for more than four hours. This smoke should take significantly less time. This is also one of the reasons why we shock the sausages in an ice bath. This chills them quickly and brings them down to a safe temperature quickly. Thanks for watching.
I not sure if I wanna risk a brisket to make those Delicious 😋 links but I would sure buy a mess of em are they on sale yet? ATBBQ SMOKED BRISKET CHEDDAR SAUSAGE BOY THAT SOUNDS GOOD 👌🏻🙏🏾
Still plenty smoky, and you can smoke them a second time to reheat them. If you skip the ice bath and go directly to vac pack you will have carryover cooking to consider.
@@allthingsbbq I was thinking vac pack them first and then into the ice bath to cool them, but if it doesn't strip any smoke flavour then it's a bit of a pointless extravagance.
@allthingsbbq This is probably a dumb question, but I’ve seen some people use curing salt in their seasoning. Is there a reason why you didn’t? I know it’s used to curb botulism, but can you avoid that by going to higher temps like you did, or is it because it’s beef instead of pork. I’m getting into the sausage making, and was just curious.
You don't need curing salt when making fresh sausages that will be hot smoked. Most of the time when it is added to a fresh sausage it's for the color. -Tom
This particular brisket is a Creekstone Farms Prime brisket (great quality) and retails for $164, though you certainly can purchase lower grade lesser briskets for cheaper. www.creekstonefarms.com/collections/roasts/products/usda-prime-whole-brisket?variant=5591501996060 Thanks! -Tom
@@allthingsbbq Thank you Tom. Appreciate it! We pay double the price for US Brisket but for obvious reasons... We're not really neighbours, a fact that always brings a tear to my eye when you fire up one of your pits! Keep up the good work! Much love from Switzerland! Ely
What is the lowest temp you can run the pit at before pink salt is needed for safety reasons? You mentioned you were aiming for about 200, and they went on at 185 - 190. At what point do we go from a safe "low and slow" to where one would need the Prague powder to absorb more smoke over a longer cook time?
I'm not sure of the exact answer to that question, but keep in mind that for general food safety, you don't want your food (especially ground meat which has had the opportunity to mix surface bacteria throughout the product) to stay in the "danger zone" (40ºF-140ºF) for more than four hours, or you risk other food born bacterial growth. As far as food borne botulism goes, the CDC says there are only about 25 cases per year in the United States. It's fairly rare. If you're concerned about it, then I would recommend using the curing salt. I'm certainly not opposed to it. Thanks. -Tom

Holy Mother of pearl that's a lot of work!? Got to love what you do
I made 20 pounds of this this weekend and let me tell you this is the best sausage recipe I ever made thank you very much made me look like a star.
That's awesome!
Last year, I had some deer sausage made with brisket…wanted to try something different. Ohhhh my!!!
Just made a batch of these today for smoking tomorrow. The remains sitting in the hopper of my sausage stuffer was plenty to make a good sized patty though, and I have fried that and eaten it with very big pleasure.

Is electric Smoker same as the others?
Hope you can help me.😊
Did you and Chud plan on dropping sausage videos on the same day together?
Happy coincidence!
I was wondering the same thing. I got the alert for this one while watching Chud's
great minds...
@@ChudsBbq Everything Bradley and Tom put out seems to be top notch. Thx to both for the methods/recipes
Looks delicious, I'm jealous 😋
There was a big green egg in the background! I've never seen a ceramic cooker that was not a Komado Joe!

Man, this is great. I was wondering if taste would greatly change by adding pink salt. I gotta watch more of your sausage making videos.
"Thats a fatty sausage"....LMAO!!!
Great video, great recipe! I'm curious....did you add Instacure #1 since you smoked the sausages? Maybe I missed it.
Chef Tom question on this sausage why did you not use any cure you're not worried about any bacteria growth since you're cooking at a low temperature. I definitely want to try this recipe but I was wondering should I use cure thanks for your reply great video.
This is maybe a dumb question? Whats the best way to rewarm your leftover smoked sausages? Resmoke them or grill them?
Could you do a traditional Italian sausage with just salt, black pepper and fennel seed?
That looks guud!
Damn dude a lot of work goes into making those bad boys lol
If I wanted to make snack sticks using this recipe, would I add Cure #2 for extended air drying time?
Awsome video, was about to try this one on my own also love the channel!

Bravo!!
if your planning on icing and vacuuming the sausages use hi-temp cheddar or your not going to eat it right away.
I was hoping chef would have checked the sausage for snap but it does look very good.
Mouth watering goooodness
I not sure if I wanna risk a brisket to make those Delicious 😋 links but I would sure buy a mess of em are they on sale yet? ATBBQ SMOKED BRISKET CHEDDAR SAUSAGE BOY THAT SOUNDS GOOD 👌🏻🙏🏾
Do you have to smoke them right away or can I vacuum seal them in packs of 6 and just cook it later as needed?
Why don’t you use a curring salt?
Does the ice bath take off any of the smoke flavour from the sausages? If so could you vacuum pack them first and then throw them in the ice bath?
Still plenty smoky, and you can smoke them a second time to reheat them. If you skip the ice bath and go directly to vac pack you will have carryover cooking to consider.

Why is there no need for a curing salt,, I just bought a meat grinder, not really sure when to use it?
What’s the best way to heat up the sausage that has been dunked in ice?
Ever tried kransky mate? Probably the best pork based sausage out
Chef, watching your videos is dangerous to my bank account. Is that a Big Green Egg in the background?
It is a Big Green Egg. We just did a brisket video on it and will be publishing it soon, be on the look out.
did he cut up the deckle with the brisket too?
I love how your facial expression says more than any words you can speak. Oh man!
Look great. Would it be an option to bring them half way up in the smoker and gently finish them off directly over the coals?
I'm sure that would work. This method might sacrifice a little tenderness though, so keep that in mind. Thanks for watching!
Did you use a cure.?
What do you use to grind the pepper or do you get it that way? A half cup is a lot grind with any pepper grinder I have.
Do you not need to use any cure with this?
How about some venison breakfast sausage?
Great content as usual! I'm curious. How much do you pay for a Brisket in the states?
