    Venison Summer Sausage Help

    I have tried ice bath and it Doesnt seem to make a difference on taste. I have also calibrated my thermometer. I’m just not sure how people are doing it in 6 or so hours to with good results. The best I’ve made took me well over 12 hours but that was by accident and because my smoker wasn’t the...

    Venison Summer Sausage Help

    Long story short here’s my issue, my venison summer sausage has more of a “cooked” meat taste. I don’t know how else to describe it but it just doesn’t taste right. I’ve made several batches of it over the years from kits such as hi mountain and LEM. I was originally having issues with it taking...

    Stuffing burger with 575 Watt LEM

    Thanks for your reply, I don’t mix the meat during the initial processing, just store venison all together then mix when I’m ready to stuff the sausage.

    Stuffing burger with 575 Watt LEM

    Thanks for the reply. I have a 5lb vertical stuffer for making sausage. i only use the fine grid plate one grind for the grinder, but I was wanting to grind burger straight in to wild game bags for the freezer with a 2” tube. Just trying to cut processing time. I didn’t realize a foot pedal...

    Stuffing burger with 575 Watt LEM

    Just curious if anyone has stuffed game bags with an LEM 575 watt grinder. I have the grinder and currently wrap the burger in freezer paper. Was debating on upgrading to a .35 or .5 HP grinder so I can get a foot pedal attachment but I only do 1-3 deer per year. I just wondered if grinding and...

    Typical time for summer sausage

    OK I just checked, cabinet temp is 20 degrees lower than the temp setting. The smokers meat probe and two of my therms all read around 20 degrees low. Since the temp fluctuates so much (I'll have it set at 175 and it'll go clear to 193) it makes me really nervous of a fat out. I guess next time...

    Typical time for summer sausage

    I'm fairly new to smoking sausage, I've probably made around 40lbs total over the past few years. I can't seem to get a consistent system together to cook my sausage. I'm either fatting it out or it's taking over 12 hours to get to 152. This last batch has got me flustered. As I am typing this I...

    choosing a stuffer opinions wanted

    Lowered the plunger (for lack of a better term" into the stuffer as if I am stuffing sausage. Once it's at the very bottom of the calendar I marked the top of the rod with a permanent marker. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

    choosing a stuffer opinions wanted

    I bought a display gander mountain stuffed off fleabay, needed the handle and key nut to connect the handle, ordered the parts from LEM and got perfectly. It has the nylon gears but I marked the rod where at the lowest point it can go without breaking the gears and it works flawlessly. I'm like...

    Freezing summer sausage

    I'm about to get finished with a batch of venison s/s. It didn't completely fat out but was sure on its way. The casings are lose and shriveled so my question is can I remove it from the casing so that I can clean off some of the grease and vacuum seal it to freeze without the casing? Sent from...
