    Fresh Sausage (no cure) long term storage?

    So I understand all about Cured Sausage for smoking.  Now if I want to make some Chicken and Cranberry sausage (fresh) can I then link it.......and Vacuum seal it and freeze it?  I think I know the answer to this but just wanna make sure because I can't eat 10-15 lbs of sausage at once LOL...

    Last piece of the puzzle arrived!

    Thanks again guys!  You will see pics once my first batch is made.  Been a busy time and haven't been able to.  Just reading, learning and salivating at the prospect of my own smoked Andouille!

    Question about Fat

    ​Thanks Chef!!!  I guess only one way to find out LOL.....maybe sparingly used in a sausage would be worth a try.  Hate to throw it away if it can be utilized!

    Question about Fat

    So doing a rather large full packer Brisket and will be trimming off a lot of fat.  Is this fat that can be frozen and kept for using in sausage making or is it too tough?  As someone pointed out that this new hobby will make me think of these things :) Thanks Scott

    Flavorless Pulled Pork

    Use a finishing sauce......I use SoFlaQuers sauce (you can find it on here) and it is a welcome and tasty addition,  but I'd also suggest skipping those pre-brined cuts of meat......that may have something to do with it.  I always pay more for better cuts and the results are night and day.

    Id say those are pretty much perfect as well.  Great first smoke!

    Brisket temp

    Meat is fickle......it does what it want to LOL.  I had an 8lb pork butt take almost 20 hours once.  That damn thing was gonna be the death of me Scott

    First PBC Brisket

    Best $300 I've spent. I use mine all the time and haven't had any failures yet. It's so set and forget that you just trust what PBC tells you. I have done Butts, Ribs, Half chickens, a whole turkey, shrimp, burgers, veggies, Tri tip, and Monday will do an 18lb brisket. This is seriously a...

    Freezer Burnt

    Vac sealers are not expensive......less expensive than throwing away or ruining a bunch of expensive meat. Time to just make it happen.
