    New Smoker

    Hmm. No, but I just did. Thanks, Secondhand... I like the thought of pellet smokers because I don't have to open the smoker to add substrate. That is one thing I liked about the Bradley.

But glad I posted on here or I would have made AGAIN in a few months with too much cure again...crossed out already in book :) It does taste GREAT on pizza or in sandwiches.. next time I would make both the smaller...

    Dang...most of the recipes I have seen call for 1 tsp per 5 #, which I used, but by weight seems too much. Hmm. Time for a new scale (already ordered on Amazon ;) ).... Thanks for the comments all.

    Really, five? Where do you get that calc? I mean this came from a published book...can you attach your reference so I can learn? Hmm...this is the only one I found and yes, the book triples the cure needed according to it. https://www.meatsandsausages.com/sausage-recipes/cure-calculator

    Stuffing Venison Sausage mixed with No.2 Cure after refrigerating for 3 days

    Or buy some non-latex gloves from your local Walgreen's for a few bucks...they are worth every penny if you are going to get into this sausage making thing!

    Sausage in elbow...can you get out into casings?

    Hey all... Just wondering what you guys use to get the meat out of the sausage stuffer elbow...

    Summer Sausage with or without high temp cheese?

    So...I just (last weekend) made a batch of kaesekrainer (Austrian cheese sausage). I made two varieties, sharp Wisconsin cheddar (5 year) and Emmentaler.
