    Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

    Curious if the old fibrous casings could really be the blame for the sticking to the meat. Perhaps my smoke schedule was too aggressive? Hang at room temp for one hour 120* with all vents open for one hour 135* vents closed for one hour - add smoke and pan of humidity (beer) 150* for one hour...

    Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

    Oh yeah....put auger, tube, plate and knife in freezer first too. Everything was way cold partially frozen. All said I did 6lb total and for ease of numbers I used the following: 3lbs deer 2lbs pork butt (not trimmed just cut up....from Costco or Sams) 1lb pork back fat.

    Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

    So I finally got my small batch done and am overall pleased with the results. I went with a 70/30 meat to fat ratio and I think I'll reduce to a 75/25 on the next run. I experienced a little bit of fat out but nothing that hurt the product. I think the texture was great but overall the...

    Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

    The math makes sense. Thank you very much. What is the desired fat content for good texture and flavor? Are we shooting for the 30% here?

    Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

    I believe not enough fat to be the case, thus the question. So I definitely don't want to cover the venison taste, but obviously it needs that fat and I prefer pork over beef in my summer sausage. If my goal was a 70/30 venison to pork ratio....say for a 10lb batch for ease of math.....would I...

    Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

    I haven't made any for a couple of years, but when I did I didn't have a grinder so I was using deer burger (locker ground) and store bought ground pork. I tried up to a 70/30 venison to pork mix but I never liked the texture of the finished product. I realize that could be recipe or process...

    Pork Trim or Pork Butt for Venison Summer Sausage

    Title says it all. Does it matter? I have some pork butts cut up and frozen or I can go get pork trim from the locker to add to my venison summer sausage.

    Help With Equipment Choices

    Hey all. I've done my own small batches of various sausages, summer sausage, venison bacon, etc. and enjoy it. Now the gang at deer camp is considering processing our own as a group. We have been taking in an average of 6 deer per year to the locker and basically all gets ground up into...

    Auber WS-1510ELPM & MES 30

    Mod completed thanks to all. I'm doing a quick test run now and will put it through it's paces this weekend when I return. Instead of splicing, I simply made jumpers with flat spade connectors so I can put it back to stock if desired. It appears to warming right up!!

    Auber WS-1510ELPM & MES 30

    Had some issues with my front controller last week and called Masterbuilt for replacement as it's under warranty. I also ordered the Auber because I'm so used to less temp fluctuations using my GMG Pellet model. I bought the WS-1510ELPM because it's "plug and play", but keep reading so many...

    Kitchener Grinder

    Old Sarge, I ended up buying the Kitchener shown in your original post. I added the extended warranty through Amazon for a few bucks. So far so good. It is performing quite well.

    Venison Summer Sausage ECA

    SMOKE ON!!!!! Ok...actually they have about another half hour to hang dry inside before going out into the smoker, but I got a good early start this morning. I decided no binder this time. I added my ECA and stuffed, which went plenty easy. No need for more water at all. Holding up my mug...
