Add additional stock if the mixture seems too dry. It needs to be soft, but not loose.

4.
After the sausage mixture is to your liking, prepare your sausage stuffer with casing, tying and poking a hole in the end.

5.
Stuff into the casing, creating one long ring of sausage. This is typically a 2 person job, but it’s better to under-stuff the sausage casing than over-stuff.
6.
Make sure the sausage meat is evenly distributed throughout the casing and just firm, coil the assembled sausage, and poke small holes in the casing every 5 cm to prevent blowout during the cooking process.

2.
Build a small fire and create direct and indirect heat zones. Place the sausage in the indirect heat, and aim for the temperature to always be between 130°-160°F. If the fire becomes too hot, move the sausage as far away from the heat source as possible. Place a small aluminum pan filled with water next to the sausage. Cover with a large metal bowl and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
