re: Best andouille sausage?

I like Don's smoked sausage best (it's all beef). I've always used Wayne Jacobs Andouille, but I'll have to try Dons. I've grown accustomed to the size and texture of WJ's Andouille.

Wayne Jacobs doesn't use pecan (says it's too strong) and doesn't put preservatives in the meat. Jacobs uses pecan I'm told and also adds preservatives. I'll have to ask about Dons next time I'm in there.

Good insight in this thread.
