    new toy!!! so excited!! with some cajun sausage and brat QV!

    WOW are you in for a whole new experience man. it makes stuffing so much easier. ended up with italian burgers, didn't have all spices for brats. just did a patty instead of stuffing. we didn't feel like getting casings out. threw some sliced onions in skillet with pattys while cookin.

    GREAT advice here from a boss!  I grabbed a small digi scale that measured in .01 G increments (calibration weight included) for under $20. Then I also have a bit bigger one (not sure on weight limit) from walmart for $25 or so best i can remember.
