    Al, man... look what you made me do! Not sure when I'll get to making it, but the casings are here when I do.

    Canadian Goose SS/Snack sticks - Ratio Question - Update

    SmokeyMose has it right - it's to stop the cook dead in it's tracks, and also to lock in the moisture, resolidify any fat or cheese, keep casings from shriveling up, etc. DEFINITELY want to do this with SS, or it shrivels and the casing gets funky. How long? Until the internal temp gets to...

    Kielbasa to round out the Smoking Marathon. QVIEW

    Really appreciate it, guys! Thanks! Father-in-law tried some, and is already getting geared up, asking when we can make more sausage, what we can make... He's going to hammer on the deer this year, I think, and feed a lot of people.

    Thanks a ton, Dan! Really appreciate it! I was really impressed with the pre-tubed ones. Easy enough to use. Glad I looked ahead - they say to soak for 24 hours before use! Talk about a decent, well-behaving casing, though. Stuffed easily and evenly, and fully. Linked up nicely too, with only...

    If you like sausage, make sausage. Then make more. It's fun, and it's awesome. And you can brag to your friends and family. And then you make more. I may be off base or misunderstanding your question, but here goes... A preformed casing I'm taking to be the synthetic or natural material...

    Canadian Goose SS/Snack sticks - Ratio Question - Update

    I don't know goose, but I have done wild turkey. I went higher on the turkey (like 70/30 turkey/pork), and paid the price on a dry, tough sausage. Not sure what recipe you'll be using for the SS, but if it mentions nonfat dry milk powder OR soy protein powder, if you have it, use soy. It'll do a...

    Al, you'll knock it out of the park... but you might want to make 10 lbs (probably 8 rings)! One ring is a lot for a couple of people to eat, but they go fast. We just made some last week, and used 40mm x 18" collagen rounds, and they were really easy to stuff and tie. I'll be going that route...

    Thanks, Disco! Appreciate it! That was the last of the old, junk casings. From now on, it's only the good stuff! I should have known better...

    Al, that looks great! Talk about a FAT CHUB! Been wondering how something like that would go, so thanks for the post! Question - how did you manage to stuff that sucker? Just pack it in there by hand, and eliminate air pockets? Seems like a nice texture. Coarse and grainy ruins bologna, but...

    Hot Italian and and Cougar's Hot Links

    Son of a... the RAW photo looked good enough to eat. Points from me, man... As to the fridge/freezer, the items are not the same, but the number of options is similar in mine. Heck of a deal making GOOD stuff you can take pride in, and having it available when you want it. You have me thinking...

    Thanks for the feedback and points! Man, do I feel your pain regarding space. Need another fridge just for sausage making, plus another to make a curing chamber out of... 'cause there's pepperoni to be made! My father-in-law has some freezer space he said I could fill up. Betting he is...

    Kielbasa to round out the Smoking Marathon. QVIEW

    Well, folks... the wurst is over. About 100 lbs of sausage and fish got smoked over the past week or so!       For those of you who were along for the ride, thanks for the feedback, support, and points! To round out the "pork is on a stupid-cheap sale" smoking marathon, we decided to make some...

    Ring Bologna - QVIEW

    Thanks a lot, guys! My wife and I cooked one of these up for dinner last night, and I had leftovers for lunch today.  We'll be adding a touch of ground mustard and/or whole mustard to the next round. Can't wait for feedback from my father-in-law...
