First timer...very confused

[smokeamotive]

Wow! Jumped in head first. Jerky and sausage in one weekend and a beginner.....Well done!  And

 to SMF!!!

I too use a KA for my grinding needs but have a Cabelas 11 lb stuffer for packing them up. No wonder you back is toast. Stuffing 30 lbs with a KA

. I'd bet that you'll be lookin for a stuffer in the near future, cause lets face it....you've just opened the Pandoras box and theres no closing it now. Welcome to your new addiction.

This is the recipe I used: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/100076/shooterricks-attitude-brats-recipe-and-pics-on-the-grill

I will definitely make these again, but cut back on the coriander for my taste. It had mellowed after being in the freezer for a while, but still too much for me.

Boyfriend really liked them and he doesn't like brats too awfully much!

X2 on this recipe. This is the one I use and everyone loves them.
