Hello All,
Thought I would introduce myself to the members of this fine resourse.
My name is Joe, and I'm from Houston, Texas. I found this site looking for information on smoking sausages and it looks like I've found a keeper. I've been browsing through this forum for the past several weeks absorbing lots of info. I recently bought a grinder (Cabelas 3/4hp) and have made several attempts at sausages - breakfast, chorizo, and smoked venison sausage. As for equipment, I have an Oklahoma Joe w/ side firebox that was given to me by my dad. He bought it about 20 years ago and hadn't used it for years and offered it to me when he heard I was going to try smoking sausages.
Of course reading all the threads on this site have started my mind thinking about a better setup for smoking sausages, but who knows. I'm also a woodworker, have built a few cabinets, etc., so I'm thinking about building a plywood version similar to an MES40, maybe slightly larger. That's still in the "thinking" stage, so nothing definate yet.
Anyway, I look forward to contributing to your site and learning a little along the way.
Joe
