I ended up using this and I haven't had any issues: food grade synthetic gear oil, 460 viscosity. I paid about $20 for a quart. I also don't use my grinder heavily. I do a max of about 10 lbs of meat in a batch because I have a small smoker.

Bob, thanks for that info. I'll check it out. :)

Those look awesome! *likes*

Looks delicious! You'll have to tell us more about the smoker fire. :) I hope everything is ok.

Those look purty! Nicely done! :cool:

It's been awhile since I've posted but have no fear, I've been making and smoking sausage! I did my first batch of venison jalapeno cheddar chubs Sunday (6 lbs) along with my 3rd or 4th batch of bambi stix (5 lbs). (I'll post the recipes when I have them in digital form. Stay tuned.) I...

Well, that looks downright delicious!  Congrats on making the carousel!

Can't beat the price on those pork shoulders, wow!   "I only stuck myself with the knife once and took a big slice out of my thumb but I survived." Way to literally put yourself into your product.  lol  (Glad you're ok.) All your sausages look great!  Love the sticks!

Thanks all for the positive comments and the points! Got my new meat grinder plates today. Upped the plate from 6mm (1/4") to 12mm (1/2"). The vintage grinder blew through 5 lbs of meat in about 2 mins. with no clogging. Yeah! I think my medium plate was simply too small for the first grind. In...

Thanks for stopping, BBQCLE.  :)  It's been devoured.   Going to have to make more soon.  My friends/family are clamoring for more.  LOL

Diller's Choice is a spice blend from Strawberry Farms company containing dill, lemon peel, parsley, onion, and black pepper. (https://www.strawberrytreefarms.com/store/dillers-choice/c11993db-7ea8-4392-af77-532707194175?category=all). We buy a ton of their spice blends from them. 

This is my second sausage adventure.   I started with Len Poli's Russian Sausage as a foundation: http://www.lpoli.50webs.com/index_files/RussianDill.pdf I didn't have all the ingredients listed so I adjusted and this is what I used: Pork butt                           2270g Onions-chopped...

That looks fantastic!

Doug, those look delish!   I got the vintage General Model D gear oil changed, added electric motor oil, and sharpened the cutting blade.  It has been sitting in my friend's basement for about 7-8 years.  She's purring like a kitten now.  My plans today are to take her for a drive and grind up...

Congrats on your first sausage!   Looks good!

Thanks, Uncle Eddie! jtk07, I purchased the casings from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZTIGNA/?tag=smokingmeatforums-20

Btw...my name is Teri. Thank you all for the warm welcomes. I appreciate it as a noob. It took me a few years to break into the ice fishing forums locally. No digs on them, it just took longer. You all have been awesome in such a short time. You rock! 128526

Thanks, tropics for the link. I'm obviously learning the trade and I appreciate any and all constructive information. The vids we're awesome. I grew up a tomboy and I'm not afraid of tools and sandpaper. My grandpop was a carpenter and my dad had me changing oil and lubing cars since I was...

MyOwnIdaho:  Thanks!   Rings R Us:  I've done caseless summer sausage before, hence the high temp cheese I had on hand.  I love it because it melts at a higher temperature and makes for better presentation when you cut into the meat.    I get mine from here...

Foamheart:  The entire grinder was in the chest freezer overnight and the meat pieces were on a sheet tray in the same chest freezer for about an hour before grinding so it was near frozen.   I feel I did well on that part.   That's a nice looking hand grinder.  That's got to be special that it...
