Hey big guy thanks for the info. I don't know if I mentioned that at our last sausage get-together we cranked out 110 lbs. My loss in smoking was about 32 per cent,give or take a couple percent.

Hi Blackriver,

With a handle like that you couldn't be from the the black river falls area?

Some of the great places to purchase these products are "the Sausage maker ", Allied Kenco,and Butcher & Packer.

I would like to try to clone there recipe for Italian sausage. Do you have ideas?
