    Maple Blueberry Sausage Recipe?

    Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but there's a shop near me that makes Minnesota-style summer sausage. I made a 25 lb batch myself this year. I used PS Seasonings No. 957 old-fashioned as a base. 1 cup Wild Rice, 1 cup blueberries, 8 oz maple syrup, 8 oz honey (all of these...

    Got it. Thanks.

    What should I ask for?

    No wheels. I think the PVC riser will be the best bet

    What should I ask for?

    Thanks for the recommendations! I really appreciate the input. Can I ask why a Chamber Vacuum? What are the benefits of that vs a suction-type sealer? My prep tables are pretty nice. Stainless steel frame with removable UHMW tops. Great for cleaning and the frames are pretty lightweight...

    What should I ask for?

    Thanks for the review! I'm pretty sure I have the same Outdoor Edge set. I won it at an outdoors banquet a few years ago and I've used it ever since. I like the way they feel in my hand and they seem to hold a decent edge. My old set was a cheapo set I picked up at Walmart I think and they...

    What should I ask for?

    To be honest, I'm not sure what it needs yet. It was running fine when taken out. It's currently just sitting on a trailer needing to be set up. We haven't even figured out a location to put it yet. A free walk-in is an offer I couldn't refuse. I believe it's around 8' x 8'. I've never...

    What should I ask for?

    Sharpener was top of my list before I asked for suggestions. I was looking at the Work Sharp Ken Onion model. Any thoughts on that? I like my hunting knives - I've spent some money on those. I have a couple of skinning and deboning knife sets that I won at a banquet. They're not top of the...

    What should I ask for?

    I want one too but I would say my knowledge of smoking is pretty much only what I've learned through reading and interacting with places like this. I'm interested in a real smokehouse, but the electric smokers are just so easy. I'm a bit scared to take on something new and screw it all up...

    What should I ask for?

    Oh for sure. To be clear - no one has ever tried to "cheap out" on me. It's always just worked well that I find something that I want to upgrade each year so I just let them know what I want. Maybe it's my fault for liking the toys more than the money. :emoji_laughing:

    Thank you. I'll put it on my list.

    What should I ask for?

    That's one of the things on our to do list this spring. I have an electric hoist that I use but it's just mounted in one location. We took down a shed that had a sliding door last year and we're going to repurpose the rail so I can slide the hoist back and forth. We also got a small walk-in...

    What should I ask for?

    Thanks. How does it do with sticks? I can make the Vevor work if I use the 1/2" tube and "unstring" the 21mm casing and re-load it on the tube. The 5 lb stuffer works fine with the smaller casings. Every year around this time I swear off ever making sticks again and then the next year comes...

    What should I ask for?

    Hey Guys, My hunting group used to bring our deer (usually 2-4 each year) to our local butcher shop with great results, but about 20 years ago they changed owners and the quality dropped and the prices increased dramatically so I decided to try my hand at doing my own...

    Blueberry/Wild Rice summer sausage recipe.

    I've made Minnesota summer sausage a few times as I grew up just down the road from Schmidt's. I'll have to see if I can find my notes but if I remember right the last time I made a 25 lb batch I used the Hi Mountain summer sausage kit and added 1 cup wild rice, 1-2 cups blueberries, 8 oz...

    Hello from MN

    Hello, Been a lurker around this forum for a little while. Decided to join to get some more info on this addicting hobby. I currently own 2 Cajun Injector smokers (MES) and have primarily used them for making venison sausage. This past summer I tried doing some ribs and a chicken with pretty...
