    Thank you, the only tough part about building it was getting the o-ring grooves right when machining the piston. Everything else is pretty easy. Next version will be 6" i.d. pipe and be shorter. Will make cleaning much easier.

    Beef suet...good for using to make venison SS?

    I will respectfully disagree with frozen beef fat losing it's best flavor. The year I made mine with beef I made 30 lbs. It took us 10 months to finish it all and had no ill flavors. I did take mine right from smoker to deep freeze set at -20f where it stayed until thawed but everybody loved it.

    Beef suet...good for using to make venison SS?

    I have used beef before but not in a fermented summer sausage. Used beef back fat. Kept it frozen until use. Thawed and ate in each setting. Tasted great. Didn't leave it unrefrigerated for any length of time over 4 hrs

    Currently charcoal and wood. Has been both electric hot plate and propane in the past. Will likely switch to propane again soon to regulate easier without so much babysitting. My door leaks too much air for the charcoal and I have trouble keeping it below 190.

    Had venison left to grind. Friend shot one in the late season. Ground his and once I had the grinder out decided it was going to happen this week. Yesterday ground and stuffed 12 lbs of sticks. Today ground and stuffed 25 lbs of summer sausage. The old home built water stuffer and smoker are...

    Smoked Turkey Question

    own a large Nesco roasting oven? I'd be tempted to hold the bird at 165 in that until dinner. I've done it for a few hours in the past with no bad results.

    Tried chicken quarters today

    Thanks guys for all the kind words. Moto, the aluminum cabinet was being used for janitorial storage at work. When they got rid of it I took it into my shop and added a few racks and some 2 " exhaust pipe I had laying around. I cut some 1/8" 1018 mild steel into flaps that cover the intake and...
