new from missouri

[crotalus1972]

New guy from O'Fallon MO (near STL). Been pellet smoking (Treager) for a few years and decided to build a smoke house in order to make sausage at home. Interested in cold smoke/ cured style deer sausage. Landjager style sticks and various old world style sausages. My grandfather started a sausage business here in St Louis 76 years ago. Still ran by my uncle and cousin. The specialize in Polish sausage and foods. Kielbasa, Kra Kow style sausage, brats, old country bologna, beer salami and Italian sausage. When I worked there in middle/ high school we made Kiska (Polish blood sausage). What a mess and I was not a fan. I am also in to reef aquariums. Found this forum while searching ideas and stuff for my smoke house.

LOL ,, sure does . Heck he's so close to me he can probably here the beer cans and Jim Beam bottles when they dump my trash .

 

[crotalus1972]

As St Louis as pork steaks! I thought I was the only one that worried about the rattle of beer bottles. Chopsaw you do any sausage making?

 

[chopsaw]

I do . I joined here in 2013 to find tips on Summer sausage . Since then " they infected me " with all kinds of stuff I never thought of .
