    Different curing technique than I'm used to

    The links look nice and I like the "log", makes a perfect snack for the chef.   If you meat is cold enough and you still get the smear, check to make sure the blade it snug on the die.  I think I saw a post on here where someone sharpened  honed their grinder blade on a sheet of 360 metal...

    AMNPS won't stay stay "lit"

    I have the MES 30 and the 5x8 amnps and it seems to work best when I place it right above the chip loading box near the right wall. (as close to the loader hole as I can get it)   An option might be the mailbox mod and an aquarium pump to add more air...

    Rusty Cast iron

    You will want the house wide open if you do this,  it will make a stink!   I to have switched to flax seed oil and it seems to be the best way to go.  (it does kinda stink to me during the bake in/on process, sorta like fish)

    Andouille Recipe Needed??

    Here is one that is popular.  I think of it as a good recipe and not spicy.  It is easy to do a taste test before all pepper is added and adjust from there.  http://www.nolacuisine.com/2005/11/14/andouille-sausage-recipe/
