We had 62# of commodity pork and fat left over. I pulled 2 double packs of butts out of the freezer and one of the firemen bought another double pack. That gave us 121.5# of pork grind for a big run of Cajun Smoke Sausage. Wednesday afternoon we did coarse grind, seasoning, salt, cure #1, and phosphates. Put that back in the double fridge until friday afternoon when we did final grind thru 6mm plate, NFDM and added water mixed in, then stuffed into 35mm hog casings. Final weight came out to 140# stuffed in casings.

Smoking them today...it's a very full smokehouse and will take about 10 hours as it is a lot of thermal mass to heat up.
