    Vacuum sealing bulk sausage

    That would work fine, but my problem is that the freezer side of my side-by-side fridge is too narrow for a cookie sheet, even if it wasn’t so full of meat. Fortunately, those pint pages once flattened are easy to work into the nooks & crannies in the freezer. When I do pulled pork or...

    Vacuum sealing bulk sausage

    I just made about 11 pounds of breakfast sausage. For some reason it turned our more sticky then usual (it was an exceptionally fatty pork butt??), and I was having problems getting q pound of it into a pint bag without messing up the upper sealing edge causing the bag not to evacuate all the...

    Questions on using wood chunks

    I have the same results. I just don’t let it worry me. The guy on the PBS smoking show, steve racklin (sp), always soaks his chunks, but I’ve heard in here that’s a bad thing.

    First time stuffing sausage (into casings that is)

    I finally got a chance to try out the LEM stuffer I got from @nepas last month. We made some bratwurst and Italian sausage. The first attempt was tough — mainly in loading the hog casings and having problems with blowout. But after watching a couple youtube videos, the rest went fine! My...

    Should I use Sea Salt or Kosher Salt for rub?

    I have read that the way Kosher Salt is made produces a flatter and more sharpe edged chrystal that bites into the meat better when rubbed in. I’ve never made a study of it, but always use Kosher in rubs for that reason. Another commement. Be aware that Lawery's season salt contains MSG...
