    Ok more summer sausage Q’s…..

    FANTASTIC cut shot. If you are really into the tang, you have to ferment. Turns out way better than the hacks. Not really hard to do. Oven with light on is great easy way to start.

    Talk, to, me about Insta pots, please.

    IMO worth the price for hard boiled eggs ALONE. 555 method. Makes stellar rice as good as take out chinese joints. Makes wicked good stocks in a fraction of the time. This is gumbo made mostly in IP. I started with a Pop's brined turkey I smoked. Pulled some meat and made stock made with...

    Ok more summer sausage Q’s…..

    +1 That's called landjaeger (German hunter sausage). If you want to try something different, try using brat mix for some of that SS.

    What is the best pellet grill for smoking salmon?

    You really need to have 2 smokers to do this hobby justice. Electric one that does low and slow well for cured stuff like salmon and another like a pellet/stick/kettle that does higher stuff better for ribs/brisket. An argument could be made you need 3 as fish can take over a smoker so having...

    Turkey Prices / Kroger Sales

    I think you might be a little early for the deals. We're still have our Halloween stuff up. :emoji_laughing:

    Ground meat jerky

    Have not done any YET but want to. I forget who here told me but was told 2 things are needed good ground meat jerky like the Jack Link's steak stuff: 1. Very low fat meat/whole muscle 2. Large grind (the key) So that pretty much rules out store ground. If I had that I would make caseless...

    Pastrami advice?

    Welcome. FYI stick to using the curing methods posted here. The various methods have been time tested and peer reviewed. There is a LOT of bad curing info out there on the web. I have made pastrami a few ways (wet/dry) and honestly did not see much difference in the outcome. Ran out of...

    Masterbuilt Rewire for auber pid

    @normanaj Beat me to it! @bszum2 Throw up some pics. Wire color is only part of it. Make sure you can ID the "braided" wires. Those go to the element.

    Snack Stick Beef/Pork?

    The gun is snack stick beast! Works WAAAY better than a stuffer. No you don't have to use casing can run naked. This is kabanosy. My dog loved all my smoked stuff but was absolutely BAT S*** for these for some reason. :emoji_laughing:

    No ESPN / ABC on YouTube TV?

    See now that is kinda where I think we're headed. Gonna cost BUT will have some cool perks. EVERY time this comes up I learn more. Found out a month ago that I can watch local news by their Roku app. It's weird as it goes dead during commercials but doable. A few more channels do that and...

    No ESPN / ABC on YouTube TV?

    Not a huge sports guy so not the best to say but it has been prediction we will eventually all have to pay NFL to watch ANY game etc. I think eventually everything becomes a la carte sorta. Pretty sure you can subscribe to CBS already. Something like that. Anymore I do searches for this...

    Turkey Burgers

    Looks great! Alternate burgers beside beef is pretty popular here. Brat burgers are big as well as pizza burgers made with italian mix. It's one of the main reasons I got into sausage making. These burgers are just loose sausage made into patties. Super simple and cheap. You're...

    Italian sausage sandwich

    Thanks for that. I was WAY off. Woulda thought whole bell, half onion, and a few peppers... On messy thing, ALL the good stuff is messy.

    Snack Stick Beef/Pork?

    Agree. That IMO is the ultimate mix. 80/20 lean beef/pork fatback. Back on the 50/50... I once tested the matter and made Manwich with a 50/50 mix and my family had no idea. Honestly, I think it actually tasted BETTER than all GB. It's one of those you put off but once you try it's "why...

    Snack Stick Beef/Pork?

    There is some good stuff out there outside of the classic beef snack stick. I highly suggest you check out kabanosy to start with. Don't run sticks but do run a TON of summer sausage and found cutting with pork actually made it better than all beef. I like 50/50. I bet a stick would be the...

    Italian sausage sandwich

    DAYUM! Whole jar of sweet peppers? WOW. Love those! I want to do about this exact same thing except keep the sausage loose and make burgers. Called "cudighi" in Michigan.

    Another Brisket Post

    In for this and rooting for ya! @chopsaw gave me the idea and it's GENIUS. Take whole packer and cut into 4 parts. Make corned beef with the flat end, make pastrami with point end, smoke the 2 center pieces with both. Takes 6-8hrs... OMG no other way as you are essentially using the best...

    Whole chicken

    Looks great and congrats on the ride! Was a wet brine guy a LONG time but once I tried injecting that was over. I hated the waste and prep. Then I tried dry brining and then injecting was over.
