    Newbie question

    yes such as breakfast sausages (no cure), but i believe if you smoke fresh sausage (like brats) at 250 it would reach safe IT fast enough that botulism or any harmful bacteria would not be a concern. Edit, but like others said it will not have the same flavor, looks, and maybe even texture.

    Venison liver

    Iv never ground liver but in my experience, we skin the liver slice it thin for liver and onions and soak in a bowl of milk for a while. No glands that im aware of. But soaking in milk or water is pretty crucial in my opinion.
