Fresh Kielbasa over Basques Lump & Hickory

[Jim Lampe]

a quick smoke using the 14" WSM and Canadian made Basques Sugar Maple Lump charcoal

the kielbasa was made locally by a joint called Old Germantown and they bought the recipes from European Homemade Sausage Shop that went out of business when the owner retired.
Anyway, the retired sausage master Frank Jakubcza made and sold Milwaukee's finest sausage for years and years and years. His retirement/closing saddened many folks like me.
but now, Old Germantown makes and sells Frank's famous recipe Kielbasa, the best I've ever had.



on the WSM with the temp about 220º to 240ºF for about 3 hours...






that's it. quick smoked kielbasa. it's yummy thanks for swing by!

Looks delicious, Jim. That is wonderful that Old Germantown is able to keep the traditional recipes alive.

Now, if someone would just keep the old charcoal recipes alive!

Another simple but great cook,because you use great meats to start with. I have only had German made sausage a couple times smoked and it was so flavorful over basic store sausage. Love that deep brown color. Yum.

I have a good friend in Milwaukee, I’ve put in a request for a delivery next time they come for a visit!
Of course Jim, you are always welcome with or without stuff, not necessarily for a week but, for an overnight (that means dinner, of course) to any of you all.

Exactly! Good products need very little aside from the judicious application of heat (and smoke or not) to manifest a true gustatory treat!

Yes sir those are a thing of beauty. It's amazing you can see the quality of the sausage just by looking at it.
