No. I didnt know what parboilling was until i googled it. This would process would probably make removing the meat from the bones easier. Learned something new

Man that looks good, thanks for sharing!

What is the "temp" of this after cooked? I can not do spicy items so I was looking to remove hot sauce and chili powder if needed.

Archertl · Sep 11, 2014

Its not very hot.

Outdoorsfellar · Sep 11, 2014

Where did you find smoked paprika ? What about just adding liquid smoke along with paprika ?

Archertl · Sep 11, 2014

Any grocery store spice isle should have it. My bottle is Mccormick brand. I would not do the liquid smoke. Smoked paprika doesnt really have smoky flavor it just tastes different than regular paprika.

Outdoorsfellar · Sep 11, 2014

Ok. I was showing my wife this & she had never heard of the smoked pap. Thanks.

bowhunter1023 · Sep 11, 2014

Smoked paprika is the shit! Its a must have in my spice cabinet. It has a richer flavor than regular paprika.

Outdoorsfellar · Sep 11, 2014

Once again, I'm the last to find out about some goodness....lol

Outdoorsfellar · Sep 11, 2014

I'm in luck. The wife went to town & stopped at Wallyworld. I've got my supply of this now.

Could you elaborate more on 6 sausage links (size,type and style), and what style of beer to shoot for with this recipe?

MoonLab · Sep 12, 2014

Thanks for the recipe I just might try that.

I used a locally brewed Octoberfest. Six of the little Johnsonville breakfast links.

Hoytmania · Sep 12, 2014

I've got a Widmer brothers brrrrrrrbon ale from 11,12 and 13. I might have to try this with one of them.

Yours was probably a 12 ozer though.

Thanks!..I get me a few more tree rats and I will definitely be making this recipe.

NEOhunter · Sep 15, 2014

Thanks for sharing, that looks good. I'm gonna have to try it if I get a couple squirrels

Mike · Sep 15, 2014

My boss made this with six squirrels and had it cooking in the crock pot when his son found it and ate it...the entire fugging crock pot full! He didn't even get to try it.
