40# snack sticks and 10# Summer Sausage(Pics)
Looking good, scpatterson! Got any qview of the snacksticks hanging? We might be able to tell why they were breaking on you. Overstuffing is a likely culprit, but they also tend to get stiff as they sit in the casings. I usually fridge the bulk sausage, and stuff the casings right before they... -
Need a laugh? This might be the funniest thing ever.
That right there is some funny stuff, for sure! Especially when you consider the mindset of a 73 year old man, well into his own retirement, but still supporting his ne'er-do-well son. And the clueless 29 year old son brags it up on the internet! That's funny on so many levels, yet sad on one. -

pvc for stack
I'd recommend against PVC in favor of actual metal stovepipe, but not for the reasons already given. Smoking is an addiction, and like any other addiction the "user" builds up a tolerance for the same old dose of the same old drug and experiments with other drugs to get a better high. You're...- que-ball

Hanging Summer Sausage
I have a homemade fridge conversion, so I have good separation of my hanging summer sausage from my heat source, but I also use a homemade disposable heat deflector. I wrap a lower rack with aluminum foil, then punch several holes through the foil from the bottom up. This also helps to catch... -
Cervelat Summer Sausage
Great post and qview, Hog Warden! I learned from friends who only cold smoked ring sausages, so when I first tried summer sausage I did that the same way--smoked first, then cooked. I always thought I got better smoke penetration that way, but it was really just a guess. After your... -
summer sausage casings
I use fibrous casings with my summer sausage too, without any wrinkling. Like others have said, stuff tight and keep smoker temp down. I don't even have to use the icewater bath--I'm lucky enough to live where I can jus open the smoker door, and let the -20*F temperature outside do the rest! -

Fatty question
I put it back in the freezer for 15 minutes after rolling it flat, along with the cutting board I'm going to use when putting it together. -
Sausage Cure Question
I always fridge it overnight after stuffing to give the cure a chance to work, then smoke the next day. Never any problems that way, but I've never gone more than a single day before smoking it. -
Santa brought me a stuffer!
Merry Christmas to you! It should make for a very happy new year of sausage stuffing! -

1st Time Venison B-Sausage step by step w Qview
Looks good, oneshot, but why soak the venison in water to remove the blood? That's where the flavor of the venison is! Some blood always separates out of the venison as it thaws, and I always mix it back into the meat after the first grind. -
Any day is a great day to Schmoke!!
Looking forward to your qview, Schmoke! -
Sausage stuffers on sale...
I have the 30# Cabelas and have had no problems with it, but I hand crank it. Like Tim Taylor's sidekick Al would say, more power isn't always a good thing! I bought mine refurbished for about $200. I don't know why the original owner returned mine, but a good guess would be that he attached a... -
