Sausage. I've made this recipe from Porter Road before, however I found it too Garlicy and salty so today I trimmed it down to something less overpowering, it's called Garlic and Parsley . A few alterations were done by adding Jalepeno and Fire Roasted red pepper to the mix. Now although the other recipe was well recieved this was more on par for the course, it settled in well for both a dinner and something for a sliced hors d'oeuvre. Pictured minus the production from raw cased, to grill, to chill, and presentation. It's a keeper, and it was accomplished on a offset cooker maintaing a low fire at 150-175 degrees F with outside temp of 35 F.

"Ask and you shall receive," said the Genie to Alladin. The changes I made were the amounts of fresh garlic and parsley. For 9lbs of meat I used 57 grams of garlic and 60 grams of parsley. I also used some glass jar Fire Roasted Red Peppers diced, about four good size for color and 1 lonely Jalepeno without a friend from the frig. No squash. The book has versions of bangers and other related American renditions, a good starting point. I also used some Pink salt #1 since the weather was chilly, the appropriate for the poundage. 1 level teaspoon/5lb

Those look really tasty @Tyrus! Care to share the recipe?

Got everything I wanted to get done today. I was able to fill in all the cracks. Got the gasket installed. Gave her a good wipe down and in the process noticed a few cracks that need to be filled and 2 tiles that had cracks in them that I didnt notice the first time around. Just going to leave those there as they are not noticeable. Called Dennis and he was able to walk me thru the adjustments to the front draft door to get it to sit flush. It is almost perfect. May need to tweak it a little more but not much. Here are the before and after shots. Been a long road but happy with the result. Burn in is set for Wed which means the first cook is a brisket next week. Before FINAL!!!
