Well guys.

I have been quiet for a few days, but I have been busy sorting out my Sausage making needs.
I have a Santos Number 12/8 mincer that I purchased 4 years ago, new for £200 from Ebay, at the time of buying this grinder was selling for over £800 new.

It was my first purchase when I joined...

Hi Folks, we've just topped and surpassed the thousand mark. In one year we have posted over a thousand articles on this great site. Additionally, we just became #10 in Google`s Top-Ten Preferred sausage-making sites! Good going folks! Now, lets keep it up. Why? Although none of us profits...

Do we need to register a new name and password for the Polish brother site.
I have spent most of today there, now its asking for a name & password.

Lots of good reading there.

I got my delivery from Amazon of the Home production of Quality meats and Sausages.
I am getting the feet up with a wee Dram in one hand and the book in other. What a great way to spend a Wednesday night.
It may take quite a few Drams and nights to get through this book. It looks like it has...

It seems that from time to time this website (like many others,) has a 'glitch' which results in a variety of missed notifications, unsent messages and other issues.
For instance, last night I received 3 email notifications but when I clicked on the links a window opened which said:

Had a LITTLE left over beef and about 1/4 of a butt left over so the wife and I decided to have stir fried rice this evening.

Sliced the meats really thin, added some chopped garlic, carrots, celery, green bell peppers, and some slivered onions to the wok. Looking good so far!

Gonna add rice and...

This past weekend I made some ribs and sausage for a gent in my area that had never had my sausage or BBQ before. I delivered it to him on Sunday, and got an e-mail from him Sunday night that only said; on a scale of 1-10 I rate the BBQ at 75 .

Well, yesterday I recieved the following! The...

Question from Novice: Mr. Peter J. Van Brussel's most excellent smoker is shown on page 228 of Meat Smoking and Smokehouse Design. Pardon my ignorance, but does the iron door shown on the smoker lead into another smoking chamber? Can someone say where such a door can be purchased? Thanks. Frank.

I've been having trouble consistently finding pork liver in the Dallas, Texas area to use in my boudain, and Troski recommended I try Braunschweiger in place of it.

Well, yesterday I did 10 pounds of boudain and it tastes GREAT!

I didn't grind the Braunschweiger with the meat, i cut it into...

Tonight we had a birthday celebration for the wife's grandmother who turned 87! Of course all of the family was there and they are some of my biggest fans when it comes to my cooking.

Well, Uncle Charles asked me if I could make a beef Italian sausage for him like he used to eat when he was in law...

Hello all, I've been browsing the site for quite a while and decided to join the forum today.

I've been making BBQ for better than 20 years and learn something new about it each time I cook.

Sausage making was a chore I despised growing up, but I have recently gotten back into the hobby. I wish...

I was just on a Polish site that sells sausage making supplies and they list a full hank 28-32mm hog casings for 30.00 zloty that's $9.56 in US. I checked the sausage makers web site and the same casings cost $39.99 US that would be 124.00 zloty. Why such a difference.

All friends from forum happy new year 2011

Im with you Chuck. I wouldnt take it personally though. I've always wondered myself how some of the large forums get off the ground and get the momentum going. I think many of the Poles on the Polish version of this site have a hard time with English. Just my guess.

Is there somewhere on the web I can go to learn how to post pictures? Or even a link to them. I can find my picture hit the send get to Imageshack then nothing. I'll keep trying. Trosky

Just so everyone will know, our friend Golaszm is getting married! And I am a blabber-mouth! We wish him the very best of course, and hope is life is filled with happiness and joy. Do you think his new wife makes sausage? We don't know, but we think she must be very pretty, beautiful, and just...
