    Need Advice on Smoking Sausage

    I am just seeing your post and I see there are alot of suggestions but one that I see right away is in your second picture you can see alot of air pockets in the casing. When stuffing the casing your mixture should flow nicely out of the stuffing tube to fill the casing evenly but there will be...

    First time sausage tomorrow!!! Got a few questions

    That depends on what type of sausage you are making and what you like. I personally like a course sausage so I start with a 3/8 plate and then the second time through use a 5/16. After the first grinding I mix the seasoning in and mix by hand very well and then grind through the 5/16 plate which...

    jalapeno cheddar smokies

    Cooking it fresh will produce more heat because peppers seem to loose there heat when heated if that makes sense. We have experieinced the same thing when canning salsa. If we want it to be hot it has to be blazing inferno when fresh. I leave the seeds in the peppers when using in sausage, that...

    My meat grinder is on the way

    Its really a taste preference but I think it can really change how a sausage tastes sometimes good and somtimes not as good. I prefer this sausage fresh but I do most of my brats smoked, no casings just a meat log smoked to form a skin and they are great.

    Any body use this product?

    I usually try for 85-87.5% for all of our sausages, the breakfast patties when cooked in a pan have just a small amount of grease in the pan when done, whereas store bought is drownding in grease. We don't have issues with the brats being dry as long as they are not cook at too high of heat...

    Any body use this product?

    Wow that is a fatty sausage.I never make mine that fatty and they seem to come out juicy do you cook them to an IT or till you have the color and texture you want on the outside? What do you estimate the fat content is of a average pork butt? I have always heard its around 80-20 when cut off...

    My meat grinder is on the way

    Oh and one last thing my name is a full German name and they have been known to make a decent tasting sausage over the years, some of the recipes we have are passed down for many years and if it wouldnt have been for me some of them would have been lost. No one else at my age in the family has...

    Reverse Seared Ribeye with Tatonka Dust

    Got my Tatonka dust that I have heard so much about in the mail the other day and had to try it on a ribeye steak. Started out with a nice thick cut ribeye and dusted it with Tatonka Dust. When I first sprinkled it on my first reaction was go easy with it because of the black color you assume...

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    I have a lil tex by traeger and now I am in the market for a stick burner. The set it and forget it function is nice but the food does not have the same flavor as a stickburner or charcoal in my opinion. For those that disagree just look at how many people are using the tube smokers at the same...

    considering a pellet smoker

    Biggest thing for me is the availability of pellets in your area, shipping can be killer on the price of pellets. If you dont buying 1/2 ton of pellets at a time you can save some money but that can take up alot of space in the garage. I wouldnt be worried about taking the pellets out of the...
