I have the LEM 11 lb vertical stuffer. Love it, never had a problem. Good luck with your search.

Might make a nice gift for the RV park ground crew. Everyone likes a clean site around their RV. 

It definitely has similar ingredients. Looks like a good start.

Looks real nice Chef.

Great job Reinhard!

I agree. Let it sit in the refrig for a bit and the flavors will become more pronounced. Great job Adam. Welcome to the dark side. 

Great job, they look fantastic! 

The only time I use a binder is for summer sausage and Bologna. That's just my personal preference.

Thank you. Yea, I make that too. It's a mandatory staple at our Easter dinner. My parents were from Clifton and I was raised in Rockaway. There is still a large Polish community in Botany Village, Clifton.

Thanks Case! We are fortunate to have a large Polish community around Northern NJ. Many Polish deli's with all different kinds of Kielbasa.  This one I make is the most popular, so I try to mirror what I find in those deli's and what my grandfather used to make. It's pretty spot on.

Man, I haven't posted a cook in a while and was really looking to make something different. Getting tired of eating the same 'ol, same 'ol. So I decided to make Boudin, with Venison. BTW, I've never made Boudin before...  I started with this: 2.15 lb Venison Roast (from my NY buck this year)...

I think you did a good job Adam and there is a lot of really great info here as well.  I grind my own pork like the others do.  For Kielbasa, I will cut up the meat and fat separately. I grind the meat through the fine plate and the fat through the coarse plate. Add ingredients and mix well...

Looks great.  I found a recipe on the internet for these, I've never made them before. Nor have I ever had Boudin. It's not something I could ever find up north here. Going to give the recipe a try this weekend.

Any updates?

Not that bad Gary, you might need to add a little more water to the mix to help it out. I have a tall 11 lb vertical stuffer, so it's top heavy. I have to clamp it down real well to keep it secure while cranking. It's a bit of a PITA for me.
