What's a good thin, dry sausage to make with goat meat?
I have some extra goat meat, would like to make a thin, cured, dried sausage. I was thinking of Kabanos, but my smoker isn't set up for hanging things in it, it's just a charcoal BBQ with a smoker box on the side.
What other traditional or non-traditional dried sausages do you know that could be adjusted to include goat meat? I'm looking for something relatively shelf stable. I have a curing chamber, but I would like to get this going before the weather turns hot and dry.
Feel free to toss sausage names out there even if you don't have a recipe.
PS. I'm making this for my friend so I cannot use pork (fat or otherwise) for religious reasons, but I do know how to convert the recipe to work with mutton or beef fat.

I have a curing chamber that I can control temp and humidity. Keeping it at 10 degrees C and 80% decreasing to 70% humidity for some whole muscle curing (Bresaola, pastirma and a large goat ham which is still curing right now). It has good airflow and does whole muscle curing just fine. I'm very interested to make salami but since it's nearing summer (cost more to maintain my curing chamber, so I'll just shut it off when the hot weather arrives and the ham is finished) I would like to try my luck with a thinner dry or fermented sausage.
So, any thoughts on a thin cured sausage that would be a good move to sausages?
