    Beef Tallow instead of Pork Shoulder in Venison Smoked Sausage?

    In this case, the tallow in question is NOT rendered.  My wife wanted it for soap making but never got around to using it.  If I wanted to use rendered pork or beef fat, how would that change things?

    Best Smoker for Cured Sausage?

    I've started making my own sausage using a 1hp electric grinder and a LEM stuffer.  I've got a copy of Rytek Kutas' book and have been doing my homework as much as possible.  I've made some fresh pork and venison breakfast sausage but I really want to try my hand at making smoked link sausage...
