We made jerky a couple of times in a friends smoke house, while I have never heard of dried sausage I would just dri to desired dryness. Is it seasoned meat that will be re constituted with water and then cooked at a later date? My wife dehydrated everything you can imagine this year from our garden and orchard, sure is a good way to stock up. does dot need to be frozen to keep. I am going to carry lots of it into my hunting camps next season. I know you could make lots of light weight backpacker meals, and better than the hi dollar ones you would have to buy. Lets know how the sausage turns out. Kenneth
