    Venison Sausage & Snack Sticks

    Nice!! I took a deer last year with a 30-30, every other round was one I had cast....unfortunately, I didn't get the best shot on it the first time so lost track of which one put it down. They say with cast you can "eat right up to the hole!", so there should be less waste even if you do hit a...

    Dehydrated Fruits & Veggies in Sausage

    Awhile back, i dehydrated some blueberries and some jalapenos for long-term storage. I'd like to make a couple different types of sausage, one that contains blueberry and another that contains jalapeno and hi-temp cheddar. Can I use the dehydrated blueberries and jalapenos "as-is", or should I...

    Hi-Temp Cheese and Hog Casings

    I picked up some hi-temp cheese and salted, dried hog casings the other day in preparation for sausage making this winter. Would it hurt either of these items to be frozen for longer-term storage in the mean time? I'm thinking not, as they'll both be frozen after sausage is made, but maybe...

    Venison Sausage & Snack Sticks

    Thanks! Was the first time shedding blood with the 6.5 Creedmoor. Heard both good and bad things about the 143 EDL-X so I figured I had to try it for myself. One pass-through shot at 165 yards, missed all bones and blew out the top portion of the heart. Left a blood trail Stevie Wonder could...

    Venison Sausage & Snack Sticks

    Just bagged a buck on Saturday, and I'm working on getting it all boned out and trimmed. Usually, one deer takes me about one work week to process at home, doing about a quarter per night. I know, I know, I'm super slow, but I'm usually pretty picky about getting as much silverskin, tendons...

    First sausage - Too Salty - Leggs Blend 29

    Hi Nepas! The pork butts I used are packaged at my local grocery store, nothing fancy. No injections or anything, just straight up pork. I ended up adding another 8.4 lbs of venison last night and it tasted way better to my wife and I. Total meat came out to 20 lbs. pork and 13.4 lbs of...

    First sausage - Too Salty - Leggs Blend 29

    Thanks Dave. It's strange, I usually add a ton of salt to my other foods (I know, not the best for my health, but it is what it is). I wouldn't say I'm hyper sensitive to salt. I suppose it could be that it's not mixed as well as I thought it may be. This is my first time making sausage...

    First sausage - Too Salty - Leggs Blend 29

    Last night I started making my first batch of sausage. 1:5 ratio of venison/pork butt. Would have liked to have more venison in the mix, but due to time restrictions, this is all I had trimmed up. Used Leggs Blend 29 added to the 25 pounds of ground meat. Meat was ground course, then ground...

    NEW UDS Smoker (Burn Issues)

    Thanks Berry, and ditto! Put some pics of your build on here one of these days, neat to see progress on new builds. For the charcoal basket, I've got a 15" pizza pan for the ash pan, a ~14" grill grate from a small grill I found at the dump, and will be getting some scrap expanded metal from...

    NEW UDS Smoker (Burn Issues)

    I've got sort of the same thing going on with the UDS I'm working on (my first as well).  I'll be taking mine to get sandblasted now that the burnout is done.  All paint was stripped from the outside from the burn, and the motor oil that was on the inside stuck to the walls is now just powdered...

    First brisket, Weber Jumbo Joe Kettle

    Thanks for the replies guys.  I wanted to start it earlier but couldn't get my butt out of bed any earlier than 3:00   I think it definitely would have been more tender and juicy if I could have left it on for a full 12-14 hours.  By the way, that's me on the right in the second to last photo.
