First of all I would like to thank this very informative SMF for letting me be apart of it. From all i have read so far looks like a great place to learn more about this exiting hobby.
-My interest in smoking meat started with a Kitchen Aid mixer that I bought for my other half Xmas 2012, well she almost burned it up the 3rd time she used it trying to squeeze the juice out of some half frozen blackberries!! The motor started smoking so she said take that $%^&*@8 thing to the downstairs basement, the other kitchen (the canning kitchen). So i said WOW can't let that "thing" just set there. Cost too much $$$. It still works great, she had cut it off in time.
-Next I bought a grinding attachment, ordered spices from Butcher Supply in Nashville, tn and started making different kinds of sausages, reg breakfast type, bratwurst, snaksticks and summer sausage so far.
-My goal is to make a "smoked country sausage". It is different than any you buy from the store. -Some of you that live in Tn or Ky may have bought some from some a farmer that still makes that kind of breakfast sausage (only in the winter) it is always in a cloth type bag, it is definitely a dying art.
-The only two that i have been able to buy is a brand called JAKE's, Jakes Country Meat, 6089 Clarksville Pike, Joelton, TN 37080-8997, and the other is Mayo which is a stronger smoke flavor.
-I have already bought a ProQ smoke gen from Mac's Bbq because that was the only one i knew of!! Rec'd it in the mail today.
-After reading most of the post about the A-Maze-N-smoke gen a member of this forum, I don't really know what to say other than i will give ProQ a try & if i can't make it smoke some sausage i will purchase the A-Maze-N-smoke gen. and if that don't work i'll hav to build a small smokehouse with a smoke pipe about 10ft long going into a smokepit. The best examples can be found in "BUILD A SMOKEHOUSE" by a A Storey Country Wisdom Builletin.
-Another example can be found at http://justtwofarmkids.com/2010/01/16/building-a-smokehouse/ which would be very expensive but the same design.
I guess thats about it. If anyone knows or has made/smoked country sausage please post a comment, thanks
