I've always thought the sausage spices could "marry" inside the casing just as well as sitting in the fridge overnight, can't see the difference. Could it be a situation of what your hog supplier has been feeding his stock? RAY

Those rolls look wonderful Ross, really light and soft, almost like a croissant. I'm still pounding out the scalded flour rolls with 69% hydration that have become a staple of our diet. I'd like to be able to shape them into something more suitable for sausage but I just don't seem to have the knack...

Any time my wife grumbles about the cost of my sausage making supplies, I threaten to take out a membership at the local golf club. Meeting adjourned. I gave up golf in 2001 due to arthritis and don't miss it at all. If I wasn't playing I was practicing every single day. Shortly after quitting I be...

My heart goes out to you Mike, that's a tough nut for Sam to have to endure just for being a dog. My chocolate lab Boo just turned eight the first of this month, she had a cancerous lump cut out about two years ago. I left the lampshade on all the time until the stitches were due to come out, my two...

I applaud your ethics and product Tim, both beyond reproach. I've only butchered wild hogs, never a domestic pig. I cut out the hams to smoke and then everything else gets deboned for grind, loins, backstrap, everything. It's funny how so many people who aren't into stuffing or charcuterie believe t...

I really like lamb also, and would be more then happy to take a knife and fork to what you've got laying in the fry pan. Maybe a little bit of mint-apple on the side! Much of the lamb we get here in the USA comes from NZ and Australia, you must have an abundance of those critters. I've never even en...

"Al McMillan and Judy Siemens were skeptical about Kynoch`s assurances there was likely to be no serious effects from the tailings spill. They and their pets are suffering from the water ban, and are concerned the slurry spilled into Hazeltine Creek will pose a problem over time, as it could bleed i...

"Likely resident, Larry Chambers says he was woken at 3 a.m. and could hear the sounds of rushing water. "I could hear the roar like a 747 jet," he told Global News.Chambers describes Polley Lake as "milky green" and says the flood is bringing in a ton of debris. Residents described a stench in the ...

And my wife is a fitness nut who eats salad by the bushel an excercises 3 hours a day. While she loves sausage she is determined, has strong will power, and she restricts how much meat she eats. So, I give away at least half of what I make. For me, the pleasure is in the process, studying, experime...

Congratulations, I think you'll be happy with your decision. As you know I'm a huge fan of the Pro 100, I've had nothing but success and a lot of fun with mine. After you get it broke in smoking a couple of times flip the switch and roast some ribs or pulled pork. Save this site from PS Seasonings f...

Oh, it's certainly a tough life! Sawhorse... you can't take off yet! You haven't done yer' chores! Now milk those cows, and turn the water intp the north pasture. Next round up the snuffies and feed 'em. Get ten saddled and ready to go. Repair that south gate and haul some salt licks out to the her...

OK! When we goin' fishin'? Makin' kabanosy today and I'll bring them along. And there is that Luksusowa that has an upcoming expiry date.... I'll be fishing a week from right now, come on down Chris! Load up the kabanosy and head south down I-5 for about 900 miles, we're right past Sacramento. I'll...

Nice rig, Ray! Have a great time, and stay safe. Bound to see more smoked fish pictures now, I expect.Jim That was my old boat. Going to pick up the new one tomorrow, seven hour drive, will be back Thursday night. Next Tuesday the new boat has a appointment to get the auxilary motor (Suzuki 6hp), f...

Where is the lettuce and Tomatoes from the garden? :shock: All I really want on my burger in a thick slice of onion, if I want some salad I'll make one on the side. The burger the way it is makes it still possible to take a bite, tho one does have to "open wide"! :lol: I got rid on my big boat a co...
