    Venison Is In The House!!

    Thanks guys. That batch there was for my buddies. We do several "sausage smoking" parties after hunting season winds down. I forgot to mention I made a small batch of chicken and apple sausage also. Left it fresh. Anxious to see how it turned out!

    Venison Is In The House!!

    Processed about 200 lbs of deer this weekend. Pushed the walls out on the smokehouse. Made a little green onion sausage and also some jalapeno with cheese sausage. I also made pepperoni, salami, and bologna along with a batch of snack sticks. It all turned out good!!

    Turkey/Chicken Sausage Question

    I just ran a batch of chicken and apple sausage this weekend. I used natural casings as well and don't really find that it changes the taste. LOL, it would be hard to use turkey or chicken casings for this!!
