    first summer sausage

    Probe inserted and end tied. Guess there was enough string for me to use some of it. Brought back to room temperature (ish) for 2 hours. In smoker now for 1 hour at 120* to dry before I start smoke. All this is according to package directions. Put my little "spam log" on foil with holes...

    first summer sausage

    Yeah the directions said to use the excess string from the other end. It doesn't look to me like there is any extra. I will figure something out. Rubber band was just handy and I figured I would be undoing it anyway to put my probe in and have to refasten it somehow. Wish I had some...

    first summer sausage

    So....used the high mountain kit for the first time tonight. Followed the directions to the letter except I added a little extra garlic as I am a garlic addict. 1 lb 4 oz chuck, 1 lb round and 12 oz pork butt. Soaked the casing for an hour as directed. Ground the meat and added seasoning and...

    first summer sausage

    That's what I was afraid of it just seems so big to use with my stuffer. I am sure after it softens it will seem more normal. Tanks guys.

    first summer sausage

    Ok so first time...got the hi mountain kit since I had a bass pro gift card. I have never used these giant "mahogany" casings before. The kit says to soak in warm water for an hour then stuff. What I am curious about is does anyone out there have an easy method for stuffing? I am not sure if I...
