‘Tis the season I guess. I figured I would post my Friday evening/night Saturday project. A couple of friends got a deer so we got together for sausage/bologna making.
Here is what we ended up with for ground meat.
100lbs of venison
34lbs of pork
10lbs of beef
Owens seasonings used
10lbs of pepperoni
25lbs summer sausage
25lbs Jalapeño summer sausage
25lbs Red barn seasoning
Made 10lbs of pizza seasoned using an AC Leggs mix
50lbs of Lebanon Bologna
Everything was ground mixed ground again and stuffed Friday night.
Didn’t get many pictures of the processing because it is hard to take pictures when you have meaty hands.
Now for the pics.
My old grinder That I found in grandparents shed and fixed up.
Starting the smoker with my homemade propane burner. Hickory and apple.
Smoker is loaded. It is hard to get a picture of all 3 rows. Big socks are Lebanon bologna. They hold around 10lbs each.
Honeycomb casings look so neat I think.
Thin blue smoke in the rain
Pulled everything except the big Lebanon tubes and hung it in 38f garage.
Stay tuned for sliced pictures at some point later.
If I had it to do over I probably would have started earlier Friday or ground everything Thursday. The night got long but was still fun. It was a lot of stuffing for a 5lb Cabelas stuffer.
