    Owen's BBQ Ground Formed Bacon

    Looks simple and tasty. Maybe I don't fully understand how this was prepared. Is it just ground pork with salt and cure, pressed into pans to mold and then removed from pans and smoked the next day?

    Questions about Kitchener 5# sausage stuffer

    -I have read throughout this forum about the plastic gears on this machine and the problems some have had. That being said, if I watch my meat viscosity and crank pressure will I be successful in filling 21mm snack sticks? Is there a value priced stuffer out there with metal gears? Thanks to all-

    Breakfast sausage like Cracker Barrel

    Has anyone tried to make the cured, lightly smoked pork breakfast sausage that Cracker Barrel serves.  The idea seems straight-forward. Season your ground pork with traditional spices and add cure.  Stuff into sewn cloth bags and cold smoke the bags.  What all do you guys think.

    Freezing fresh sausage

    Here is my simple solution and it works very well.  Use one of those throw-away plastic bags that you take for fresh produce at the grocery store.  Then place your product into your vac-bag.  Easy-pleasy.  Works with all wet, sticky stuff.

    Asked to help school fundraiser- 480# linked sausage.

    We will be making the sausage the weekend before the event.  So if we do not get it completed we will work a couple of evenings more to get it done.

    Pork belly costs?

    I did buy mine at Restaurant Depot.  All you need is a business license to get a membership.  Beg or borrow a buddy's or create a fake business and buy the license yourself.  Here is a long shot...try Lombardi meats in Denver.

    Breakfast Sausage, cure or not?

    I have wanted to give this a try also.  Sort of like the breakfast sausage that Crackbarrel Restaurants serves.  Add cure and then cold smoke...pan fry & serve.

    Has anyone built or have plans for water sausage stuffer?

    Here is my take and design.  Much simpler than the others.  I used a wood lathe to cut "O" grooves in the 3" glue cap using a faceplate holding jig.  Check out the link: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/148396/homemade-water-powered-sausage-stuffer#post_1052558
