Salt Pork vs Fatback

[alex cook]

Any thoughts on using salt pork vs fatback as an ingredient in home made bratwurst? I am smoking them and am using mostly pork shoulder and some hanger steak. many of you have given me helpful thoughts in another post. thanks

I've done that before since I have trouble finding fat back here. Just adjust the salt in your recipe a bit to compensate for what is in the salt pork. It works fine for me.
