Just sharing a recipe - Texas Hot Links
I was recently searching this forum for a hot link recipe. I forgot that I had several recipes I collected 14-15 years ago. Here's a variation on Texas Hot links. I got this from a guy on the old KCBS BBQ forum in 2003. ***** Bigwheel's Genuine Texas Hotlinks6-7 lbs. Boston Butt1 bottle... -

Fine Kosher salt?
Absolutely no criticism intended. I apologize if you found my reply offensive. It was certainly not intended. I did not make myself clear. When I said cooks measure, I meant volume measure - cups, tablespoons. etc. Of course weighing is a measurement, and is the most accurate way to do it. ... -
20 lb manual meat mixers? any difference between brands?
Got it ordered this morning for the $69.99 sale price, but ended up spending $90.78 total after adding shipping and sales tax. (NH store in Wichita) Still, considerably better price than the other guys.- gearloose

Beef hot links?
Great flavor! Heat is toward the upper end of what we like. Full recipe amount would have been over the top. -

Beef hot links?
Here we go! 10 Lb. of Willie's Texas Style Beef hot links. Recipe mods: only 3 Tbsp ea. of Cayenne & Red Pepper flakes. True to the doubled recipe would have used 4 Tbsp. ea. I noticed that there is no binder, either soy or NFDM, in Willie's recipe. I stuck with the original recipe and... -
20 lb manual meat mixers? any difference between brands?
Looks like you found a solution that works for you! For the foreseeable future, I'll be limiting myself to 10-15 lb. batches, and mostly 10 lb. The 5 lb. batches I can hand mix easily enough. I only have a 5 lb stuffer and do not have a separate cooler/refrigerator. There's only so much meat...- gearloose

20 lb manual meat mixers? any difference between brands?
Or are they all the same mixer sold by different companies? The ones from Cabelas, LEM, TSM, Northern Tool, etc. all look identical, but the price varies quite a bit between $149.00 to $69.00. The Kitchener from Northern Tool is advertised as a 17 lb. capacity mixer and is currently $69.99...- gearloose

Fine Kosher salt?
Well, I have Diamond Crystal, which is a fine grind Kosher which is much less dense than Morton Kosher. I prefer less salt anyway, so used 6 Tbsp. of Diamond Crystal. I just fried and tasted a test patty and the salt level is just about perfect for me. Any more salt would be too much salt. ... -
Fine Kosher salt?
I remember my training from culinary school. Cooks measure, but bakers weigh everything - even eggs & water. It's the only way to get repeatable results. My baking class chef Instructor summed it up: Cooks use recipes but bakers use formulas. Having said that, it's hard to weigh salt when... -
Beef hot links?
I've got the spices and salt+cure mixed and sealed in an airtight container. Man, this mix smells a lot like some of the BBQ rubs I've experimented with....a whole lot. I can see rubbing this mixture on a brisket (maybe swap the mustard seeds for ground mustard powder.) I also found a Texas... -
Beef hot links?
Ok, I've decided to go with Willie's Texas style hot links recipe using 80/20 ground chuck and dialing back the cayenne & red pepper flakes to about 25% less than the original recipe. I like hot, but this recipe looks volcanic. I'm mixing spices and meat in the morning. There's rain in the...
