Merry Christmas Gentleman, it's 9.50 am here Sunday morning.
To set a few facts straight about my smoked loins, I didn't tie the coloured string. (a good butcher mate of mine did). I only tied the clumsy looking white stuff.

Bubba, my friend, thank you for loading my pictures on the forum. Looking at these photos I am proud of these smoked beauties like a dog with three gonads. Oops!!! It's Christmas Day my apologies!!!!!!!!!!

Living in the Sub Tropics, I have to hot smoke them all, csabai and loins.
After some accidental experimentation I now smoke them until they have this darker colour and than I bring the temperature up to about 85C for 30 minutes for the sausages and up to 2 hours for the loins.
For wood I use ordinary Australian harwood chips and sawdust.
The next lot I will smoke with European beech chips.
Best Regards,
Jan.

I bet eucalyptus wood would be a poor choice. They have citrus groves in your part of the world. Citrus is listed as desirable.

Hi Guys, yeah, don't use eucalyptus wood!

There are a few woods to avoid for smoking meats. Some of it gets pretty bad.

AVOID:
Cedar
Cypress
Elm
Eucalyptus
Fir
Pine
Redwood
Sassafras
Spruce
Sycamore

Also, it is important to avoid any chemically-treated or processed wood when smoking food. Numerous arsenates, borates, silicates, coppers, pesticides, and other substances, have routinely been placed into wood as preservatives, insecticides, and who knows what else. In many cases, when this type of wood (lumber) is burned, the smoke may become toxic and dangerous. Never use processed lumber to smoke any food.
There`s a post showing the woods that you can use with good results - (they`re descriptions are included) Use this link: http://wedlinydomowe.pl/en/viewtopic.php?t=5154

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Now how in the world would you recognize the stench of wet hair and tobacco stems? Is there something we should know?

Part of my misspent youth was in the south and they grew tobacco. And I play with fire.

Hi Guys, yeah, don't use eucalyptus wood!

And what is wrong with Vicks sausages ?

Chuckwagon · Post by **Chuckwagon** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 06:04

Maz, you ol' salty dog! Isn't Vick's sausage like putting ketchup on yer' ice cream?

And Ross, I had one of those "mis-spent youths" as well. Yes, yes, yes.... still turned out to be a fine figure of a man!

Hi,
What are you guys talking about? Vick's sausage? Am I missing something?
I better not start about my mis-spend youth.

Crusty,
Vick's Vapo Rub is a mentholated petroleum jelly for clearing sinus and external application to hemorrhoids. Maz likes to put it in his keilbasa!

Hi Nepas,

Welcome to the forum.
You make a lot of very good-looking sausage and meat sticks as well!
When the slide show starts, a few photos on there is one with your stuffer, then the next photo, a light colored sausage (there appear to be a few photos of that type sausage in 28-32 casing maybe), what sausage is that?

Also, a little further on there is a round item on an orange tray (looks like 2 pairs of slits cut perpendicular on top) then it may have been cooked or baked.
What is that if I may ask?
