    My daughters and I ground up 17.8 of pork and beef for summer sausage today. It's seasoned and back in the fridge to chill for a while before we stuff. The younger one isn't much of a meat eater but her older sister has no problem. I'll get some pictures as we go.

    Syracuse Casings handling

    I received my order from Syracuse casings today, 35-38mm casing on tubes. I've either got them from the local butcher in the past or from amazon in a bag packed with salt.

    Hello from Massachusetts

    New to the forum not so new to BBQ. I've built a couple rotisserie pits that were a success but now I'm building my first offset to replace my well used and rusted out char broil cheapo-it has served me well.So I have been lurking around for a while and have some questions. Glad to be here.
