    I messed up

    I was not thinking when I was weighing my spice and salt out and mixed it with the NFDM and mixed into the cubed meat BEFORE grinding. How bad is it going to be…? I’m wondering if it’s going to gum up my grinder or impact the outcome of the sausage in any way. I usually do a double coarse grind...

    Can you use a impulse heat sealer to make vacuum sealer bags?

    I spend way too much time making bags and I feel like it adds wear on my vacuum sealer parts. I was looking on Amazon and saw a designated heat sealer for $50 or so and thought maybe I could use it to just make bags from the rolls I order? Anybody know from experience or have a suggestion?

    Help!

    Life’s all about who you know, and today I knew the right guy. Asked my neighbor who’s a plumber and he suggested a place to check. I went there and no needle valve to keep temps low enough but on my way home my neighbor called and he’d phone a favor from his buddy who does gas work and had me...

    Need a New sausage Stuffer

    My northern tool Kitchener bought the farm stuffing summer sausage after 8 years of good use. I do maybe 75 lbs a year various sausages. Seems I should go metal gears this time. I don’t mind a small 5lb size to keep price down, but want this to be the last purchase I make for a stuffer. Lem...

    Westin Burger Press - What am I doing wrong?

    I feel like an idiot but I need advice with this burger press or I need to change my expectations. I’m doing 1/3 lb venison patties and using wax paper top and bottom. When I adjust the plunger thickness so that it will press the meat out to the 4.5” boundary to make consistent shape it makes...

    Recommendation for new Bone Saw blade

    I've got a few saws that need new blades. Especially my 16" Lem Bone saw...the blade on this saw has been a disappointment and was wondering what you recommend for a good alternative replacement blade other than LEM.

    Venison Texas Hot Links Fat question

    I am considering my next sausage type and the texas hot link seems like it fits the bill. Typically I mix pork, pork fat, and venison for my sausage. I have both beef and pork fat in my freezer as well as some 80/20 ground venison/beef fat that I could use. Would you stick to the beef fat and...
