Old South Smoked Venison Sausage

Ingredients: 
  3 1/2 lbs. boneless lean venison 
  1 1/2 lbs. pork trimmings (50/50) 
  2 1/2 oz. Old South Venison Sausage Seasoning 
  1/8 tsp.  Sodium Nitrite (6.25%) 
  1 oz.  Liquid Smoke 
  Natural Hog Casings (32/35 mm)
Cut the venison and pork trimmings into 1 inch cubes and put them into a large mixing bowl.  Sprinkle the Old South Venison Sausage Seasonings over the meat.  Thoroughly hand mix until all the meat is evenly covered with the seasonings.  Grind the meat through your meat grinder using the 3/8 inch or coarse plate.  Mix the sodium nitrite with 2--4 oz of luke warm water.  Then add the liquid smoke.  Caution: if the sodium nitrite and liquid smoke are added simultaneously, it will cause an unpleasant vapor to be emitted.  Add the liquid mixture to the meat and mix thoroughly.  Regrind the meat using the 3/16 inch or fine plate.  .  Note: Old South Venison Sausage Seasoning will produce a mild flavored sausage.  If you want a sausage with a hotter flavor, add cracked red pepper to suit your taste to the meat mixture before grinding.  The sausage is now ready to be stuffed.  If using salt preserved casings, you should let them soak in water for several hours to remove the salt brine and make them more workable.  Attach the stuffing horn on your grinder and slide the casings onto the horn.  Feed the sausage through the mill and into the casings.  Be careful not to allow gaps in the meat as it flows into the casings but do not overstuff either.  Tie the ends of the sausage with twine or loop the end of the casings.  Refrigerate the sausage for 36-48 hours before smoking.  To smoke, place the sausage on racks or smoke sticks in the smoker.  Place a metal container with water near the heat source so that the water will evaporate and maintain the proper  relative humidity.   Heat to 100-110 degrees F with the damper open until the sausage is tacky to the touch.  Close the damper and introduce smoke (hickory, apple, pecan, etc).  Raise the temperature in the smoker to 125 degrees F. after 2 hours; to 145 degrees F. after 3 hours.  When the sausage has the desired color stop the smoke but continue the heat until the sausage has an internal temperature of 150-155 degrees.   Hold at that temperature for 1 hour.  The sausage is now ready to eat or to be packaged and refrigerated for later
