    OFG Summer Sausage

    I think the mailbox, with a long piece (3' or so) of vent pipe between the box and the smoker should help cool the smoke before it gets to the smoker. That aluminum vent pipe dissipates heat pretty well. However I have to think that in 100 degree heat its going to be a challenge no matter what...

    Summer sausage question

    I am by no means an expert, but I wouldnt think it would decrease its effectiveness. Ive never read any where that it would, but I have never read where somebody would freeze their mix to thaw and smoke later either. I would however make sure to thaw it in a fridge and not on the counter.

    Summer sausage question

    no, IMO if you put in the right amount to begin with dont add more. remember the stuff is poison in to high of amounts so always follow the guidelines with that ingredient.

    Sausage newbie question

    this is as fresh sausage so dont go for a long slow smoke no matter what you do with the casings. no cure means you have to keep them below 40 and get them above 140 inside of 4hours... I usually say 3 hours myself to be on the safe side. if your fry test is satisfactory, cut them on the...

    Ref; Casing tricks! Help!!

    If you look into the casing size options and then use a metric to standard conversion you should be able to come up with what you think are the appropriate sized sausage.

    Ref; Casing tricks! Help!!

    I havent had great luck with LEM casings. They are ok, but I prefer to work with natural casing as they are much easier to link IMO, and give a better end result. I would say if you are going to buy collagen that you might want to stay with the major sausage suppliers for that product.

    water stuffer

    one thing I dont see in any of these comments on a water stuffer.... a globe or other type of valve to really fine tune the piston speed. ball valves are not really designed for throttling so I was thinking some type of throttling valve would be a must for a real 1 person operation, but I...

    breakfast patty maker

    i googled "slider burger press" and it came up with some mini burger press options that will do 3-6 pattys at a time. not sure how fancy you want to get though.

    breakfast patty maker

    are you frying up the patties right away, or freezing them for later? we do this with Italian and then freeze and store them in the stick form, and then when we want some sausage for pizza or what ever we take out a few sticks and slice and fry them then.

    breakfast patty maker

    personally I use my burger press, but if I were to look for something smaller my stuffer came with a pretty wide nozzle, I would just press out some 12" lengths of sausage and then put it into the freezer. when I wanted little round flat sausages I would cut it into little pucks of the...

    Substitutions questions / Meat Snack Help

    I would try starting with a proven recipe and changing one thing at a time and definitely in small batches. some of what you are proposing is kind of out there and could result in something the dog wouldnt eat so you certainly wouldnt want to much invested until you have a proven recipe.

    I saw a mod ,here or on another site, where a guy took a computer fan out of an old PC, (they are 24v if i remember correctly) and mounted into a short piece of 3" aluminum duct (fits about perfectly into the chip loader hole) and then used a transformer and a rheostat to get the air flow to...
