    1st time using natural casings-Bratwurst

    This is about the 8th or ninth batch of sausage that I have made. I started with collagen casings because I thought they were easier, and didn't want the hassle of dealing with a natural product. After having to peel most of the casings, I decided it was time to try it as my favorite is...

    Sausage with precooked meat

    Hi. I ended up with about 5lbs of cooked, cubed pork and was wondering if there are any recipes to make sausage with it. I have searched, but either they don't exist, or I am not using the right search terms. Any help would be appreciated.

    The 'Boss' says no more using the smoker for awhile

    Some successes, some not so much
