    Gray Summer Sausage Center, safe to eat?

    Was it where the probe was? I had some grey areas around where the probe was in a batch I did last week. Thought it was odd but smelled and tasted fine.

    Thanks! That's what I'll do. Looks like this is going to be more of an all nighter than I thought!

    Summer sausage casing drying question

    I'm doing my first summer sausage tonight. They're going to be stuffed in fibrous casings. After stuffing is it necessary to dry at room temp for 1-2 hours or does hanging them in the smoker at 130 for an hour without smoke accomplish the same thing?

    Snack stick/stuffer newb

    Ordered an 11lb stuffer from Walton's. My first stuffer so no experience but seems like a good quality unit. Decided to use a pre-made spice mix from a local butcher supply. Stuffed into 19mill collagen casings I also ordered from Walton's. Only had one blowout and I felt my first...
