Weekend smokes

[smokin peachey]

Last weekend I decided it was time to try the old meat grinder I found in our shed out. It hadn't been used in 40+ years.

It worked pretty well and I was able to grind through about 40lbs of pork butt and 15lbs of beef roast that I had in the freezer. I wanted to get some different recipes mixed up Friday night but after getting everything ground I was cold and tired.

That looks like a work horse.

Last Saturday morning we mixed up some summer sausage and snack sticks with Leggs seasoning. A friend bright 5lds of venison that was used in some summer sausage. Sorry no pictures of grinding or stuffing my hands were full.
I must say the pulled pork summer sausage was the best. We did 2 different snack stick recipes and 4 different summer sausage recipes.

So finally this past Friday I was able to mix the meat up that I wanted to use for Lebanon bologna. Stuffed it in some Muslin bags. I used the recipe that CFarmer had tried a little while back. The only thing I did different was cut some of the honey and added brown sugar. I also did 5lbs without any sweetener.

Smoker was pretty empty with only 10lbs in it.

I think I should have used more buttermilk it wasn't very tangy

I also described I should get some cheese smoked before it gets much warmer.

I would have done all of these post at once but it seems like when posting from my phone it works best to keep them smaller.

So today was another beautiful day in central PA so I described to try my first fattie.

I had some charcoal going in the grill to try the different recipes before stuffing. The wife came out after we ate the samples so I made this special paddy for her.

Trying, and failing miserably, to figure out what this is.
