    Ring Balogna cooking?

    Without any smoke you will be missing a lot of the flavor profile of a good ring bologna IMO. Even a couple hours would be better than no smoke. You can finish them off in a hot water bath. I have a good Midwest style recipe if you are interested. Shoot me a DM if you want to check it out.

    Legg's Bratwurst Blends 104 & 170

    I've used the 104 in the past. Thought it was okay but not great. Haven't been to Germany so I can't give you a comparison in taste. I'm more used to the Sheboygan style of brats. Another place to check out is PS Seasonings. They have a wide assortment of different brat seasoning blends.

    Commercial Dry Curing Chamber

    The Sausage Maker came out with one as well. Definitely not cheap at $3400.

    I see what you mean. We had our first frost since April here last week.

    Brats and Kraut!

    Hmm. I would have thought your season would be as long or longer.

    Brats and Kraut!

    I grew some nice reds this year so figured what the heck. A slight difference in taste but still good.

    Brats and Kraut!

    Looks great, Case. One of my favorite meals as well after growing up near the brat capitol of the U.S. Homemade kraut is so much better that the store bought. I made a batch with red cabbage this year. Turned out well.

    Summer Sausage recipe substitution

    If you don't want to or can't ferment them, Fermento is a good substitute.

    Pre-packaged spice mixes as good?

    There are many good ones out there. I've used some from PS Seasonings and they are very good.

    Getting ready to make my first ever batch of beer brats. (NEWBIE!!)

    Skip the cure, stuff, pre-freeze, vac and freeze. To cook, simmer in beer and onions and then brown on the grill.

    Meat Slicer

    Not sure that slicer would handle slicing cheese at only 1/5 hp. A lot of commercial slicers below 1/2 hp aren't really recommended for cheese. I settled on an Avantco 12" 1/3 hp awhile back. I haven't tried to slice cheese with it as yet, but the mfg doesn't advise using it for cheese. All in...

    Bratwurst Dinner Feed at the Vets Club

    Looking good CW. I just made another 5# of brats today after tweaking my recipe a little. Yours look great.

    Bratwurst Dinner Feed at the Vets Club

    Uh, no. Simmer in beer and onions and then grill. A lot of people boil ribs. That's not a WI thing. I spent most of my (60+) years in WI. I have never boiled ribs. Maybe that's an IL thing.

    Korean style hot wings

    Nice looking wings, Case. The Korean sauce sounds interesting. Lately with pancakes, I've been using hickory syrup. Not as sweet, and well, it's made from hickory.

    Smoking pecans question

    These really aren't that spicy. If I want some heat, I add 1tsp cayenne pepper.
