Hi; My name is Ed and new to the site. I live in Ca. foothills about 3000' up. I had a wood charcoal smoker for salmon and had to give that up, they say that the Ca. salmon are going extinct and can't fish for them much. So thought I'd build a larger smoker for sausage and salomi. Built a electric one out of an old freezer got a 5 lb vertical stuffer, a 17 lb meat mixer an assortment of spices and cures. I motorized a #32 hand grinder with a 3/4 hp motor. So far I've done 15 lbs cotto salomi 10 lbs jerky and 10 lbs Polish sausage. I did 15 lbs breafast sausage ( not smoked ) that I froze. All could of turned out better but none had to be thrown out, so thats good. I also have over 30 deer around house and they need a place to go. I think I have one.

Ed welcome to SMF glad you joined us. Check out the sausage section lots of good stuff there. Post some pics of your smoker we like checking out custom smokers. Have fun and happy smoking
 
Glad to have you, black dog! Sounds like you're gearing up for some great eats, and definately practice your skills as often as you can. Eating the results is the second best part!

Good smokes to ya!

Welcome to SMF. There are lots of people here who make great sausage. Looking forward to seeing some of your pics. Loved the comment about the deer.

I posted some smoker pics on electric smokers yesterday. To large for forum but gives a tread to photo bucket. Hope this helps...
 
Welcome to the forum! I agree with you...those deer need a good home. A good home where they'll be lovingly wrapped in butcher paper and kept at a good low temperature.
