A great yet somewhat intimidating tutorial. Not sure if i should get around to unboxing my Christmas Grinder and Stuffer or Exchange them for a Stick burner ( Something closer to my capabilities)

Points for this one my friend.

What? You totally need to keep your grinder and stuffer!! Making your own sausage to go in your gumbo....you can't pass up on that, Brian!

Wow those look amazing! I picked up a weiner mix from the Sausage maker that I would like to try but the sheep casings are very pricey here! Nice Job!!!

I had a thought, with those sheep's casing are those frankfurters not a bit pricy to make? I just bought natural sheep's casings from Butchers & Packers a couple a weeks ago and did a small gasp.

Sort of worried now, I bought 'em thinking of making some breakfast links, Those have always been a huge hit around here.

Yeah Kevin... The hot dogs are the most expensive to make.. The cost of the casings and the spice "mace" which it uses. Plus the extra time in processing the meat to puree and stuffing those little buggers..... I made 20lbs of franks but I had as much work in it as making 100 lbs of kielbasa.......

Nice looking franks, Boykjo! Great job, thanks for sharing.

bkleinsmid · Jan 5, 2014

Jo.........thanks for your PM and I do understand. I look forward to making my first 10lb batch. My new LEM grinder is in the mail and I have a Sausage Maker order started. Do you think the "fresh collagen" casings will work or shall I add the sheep casings to my order?

I got a Kirby mixer last fall and must say it will kick some butt. If I reverse the blade, it is supposed to make the mix into a hot dog texture so I will give it a go with the batch of dogs.

Best of luck to you with the new business......

I'd go with the natural casings....collagen just ain't the same. Actually I'd use a cellulose or plastic casing to make a skinless dogs before I used a collagen....But thats just my opinion.

Whats this kirby mixer you speak of? any info you could share?

No argument from me. But can I get 12 months no interest financing?
