    Question about fat.

    I trim out the gland, any blood clots and silver skin, but leave the firm fat and cut out the soft jello like fat.  Just my opinion

    breakfast sausage today.

    I love my TSM stuffers.  I have 2 5# TSM stuffers and a 24# TSM.  I also have a F. Dick 24# and a German made 30# not stamped with brand.  I use one of my 5# TSM stuffers for about 80% of all the sausage I make.  It is small and easily cleaned.  It is an older TSM which was made in the USA.  It...

    Pepperoni Question

    You certainly can!  I would add salt to the water though

    Sausage this weekend

    Palladini, The best part of making your own sausage is the freedom to add what you like.  You can tailor the final product to your particular tastes.  I did have a question about the level of Mustard seed you use.  That has to make for some spicy Kielbasa.  Good luck, I can't wait to see the...

    breakfast sausage today.

    I have a US Made 5# TSM for sale.  It is the little white one in the front.  They have high density resin gears, stronger than steel and smother operation. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/g/a/120574/kabanosy/

    Tough Casing

    x2.  Soak them overnight at least, then flush well.  You can also add a cap full of vinegar.  Another thing you can do is to poach them when finished smoking.  It rehydrates the outermost layer a bit.

    Kielbasa--cold smoked or hot smoked?

    X10.  Also the cure adds to the taste of Kielbasa.

    Kabanosy

    19mm should work fine.  You may have to pay a bit more attention to temps in the smoker to keep them from drying out.

    Amish Bologna and Kabanosy Snack Sticks

    Looks really good to me!

    75#'s of venison/pork sausage this weekend

    You have a lot more patience than I do to stuff 75 pounds of sausage with a 5lb stuffer.  I agree with Joe looks like 36-38 hog casing.  Looks like you will have some good eating for quite a while.

    2nd try at Polish Kielbasa today and smoker question.
