Trying to use up some of last seasons venison and thought I would share my process. Grinding 4lbs. deer and 2 lbs. pork.

Using Lems Backwoods seasoning and some jalapeno from the garden and a three pepper cheese the Mrs. picked up jalapeno, habanero and chipolte. I like some extra spice in my bologna.

I did 4 in 1 1/2 inch by 12 inch casings around a pound a piece and the rest stuffed into 32 mm casings. I like the smaller ones to take hunting or on a road trip.

In the masterbuilt for first 2 hours at 140 F rotate and add apple and pear chips and bump up to 155

Total of 6 hours pulled at 153 internal and did a ice bath on the larger ones and this pic is after a 1 hour bloom. I have ran about 25 lbs of these so far and have turned out great . Going to switch over and try some kielbasa next , thanks for looking

Very nice color on your sausages. I see from your picks that your grinded your meat through 3 mm plate. Is this correct? Just once? Any chance you can provide a pick with sliced sausage? I am sorry for too many questions - just want to understand your process...
 
pushok2018 yes i do grind the meat through a 3 mm plate. I grind the venison when i harvest it through a 3 mm plate at a ratio of 90/10 with beef fat, then regrind with the pork. So 2 grinds through the 3 mm plate. Here is a pic of the 32 mm sliced. Hope this answers your questions
