So I grilled some up and it came out pretty good! I think this was better than the last batch I did. Don't know if it was because I ground it a little different or because I added the cure and seasoning before I ground it and let it set overnight. I really like the Walton's Cajun seasoning, it has a great flavor with just the right amount of heat!

Thanks Kat!

Thanks Disco! All the Great sausage makers here on SMF inspired me to enter into this journey and I'm so glad I did! I have learned so much from these Great minds but know I have barely scratched the surface so I hope they stick around to keep teaching me!
I do want to say that sausage making is very work intensive but I find it very relaxing. I just spent 3 weeks TDY for work and it was a very stressful 3 weeks and I just couldn't wait to get back home, fire up the smokehouse and get busy in the kitchen. I just spent 2 days busting my butt in the kitchen and patio and I feel so relaxed now! All the stress from the past 3 weeks is all gone! It's kind of weird how working your butt off can be so relaxing and how making sausage or tending a smoker can make stress and the worries of everyday life just disappear! So now anytime I get stressed or life just starts to get in the way of happiness I just fire up my smoker and get in the kitchen and start busting my butt and let it all just go away!

I am impressed!!! That's some great looking jerky and sausage. Yep hog casings are a totally different experience to stuff especially when you are the only one doing it. 

Very nice job my friend. I gotta check out those Walton Seasonings.

I totally agree 100% with our smokers and whatnot relieving stress.. I can stay outside all day by thr smoker even when its 108* outside... but come Mondays when I have to get back to work I cant stand being outside... ;)
