    First smoke ever

    smokynbandit, First of all congratulations on your success.  The good news is pulled pork freezes well, and there is a long list of recipes here that use leftovers.  The bad news is it feeds your growing need to smoke/make new foods for the family. Teddy

    5lb stuffer or go larger?

    matlocc, Depending on how many you are cooking for and how often I'd say 5lbs is  plenty.  I just have me and "what's her name"  and I do brats about 4 times a year, along with other sausages in 5 lb. batches.  It came down to "where are you gonna store it!" Teddy
