    4th of July turkey suggestions?

    Sounds like you are on a good track, you could try a beer n butter injection or some kind of spicy injection and rub with a sweet brine.

    A Tip on Curing Pork?

    I have been curing and smoking hams, Canadian bacon, bacon and smoked sausage for years and have never had a problem doing one that had been frozen. If I am stocking up I will buy meat when I get a good deal and freeze it until I have time to cure it or until I get a whole batch together...

    Frozen Salmon Question??

    I would venture to bet that the fish will have weathered the freeze quite well in the vacuum package. I have frozen stuff going on 3 years now that is still good as long as the vacuum is still intact with no freezer burn and still tastes great.

    The New Sausage Plan

    I agree with those above, I also freeze my meat mixer before mixing in it and keep the product in the freezer or do everything in the cool room to keep the meat as cold as I can without actually freezing it. I use ice water with my spice with a couple of cubes as mixers, it works well for me...

    A bad plan and bad results

    It sounds like you got it all covered. the cure and cooking should have all you sausage edible. for the smokehouse I would maybe check into a bigger pipe between the drum and the smokehouse and so you have a chimney on the smokehouse? more draft will pull more heat and smoke into the house.
