    1st pork Picnic

    There is something magical about pulled pork.  When it it finished on the smoker and you can just pull that bone out with your hands, the aroma of the freshly smoked pork is enough to make you smile for the rest of the day.   Nice pork you have there.  Stay smoking my friend.

    is my hog casings bad?

    thanks. I will toss them and store my next casings correctly. They were left over from the first time I made sausage. This would have been my second time. Thanks for the guidance everyone. I will buy new casings today and I will take pictures of my sausage when I am done. Thanks again...

    Gander Mountain #12 or Lem Big Bite #8

    I really do appreciate all the advice.  Even though I named those two grinders I don't have to get them.  I just really want something that will last me for a couple of years.  I tried to get into sausage making one time before and it didn't go well.   I purchased a meat grinder from Harbor...

    I will probably do about 10 to 15 pounds of sausage. However, this is just a rough estimate, I have never made sausage before. Thanks for showing me the stuffer you use.

    Philly cheese steak brats

    Did you use a dedicated stuffer or did you just use the stuffer attachment on your meat grinder?  Your sausages look amazing.

    Gander Mountain #12 or Lem Big Bite #8

    I have the money to finally buy a meat grinder and these are my two choices.  The Gander Mountatin meat grinder which resembles the Cabella meat grinder will cost me 332 dollars the LEM Big Bite #8 will cost me 313 dollars.  I will probably grind one Boston butt during any giving session to make...
