Add a touch of vinegar to your recipe, & you've got yourself a nice chorizo.

Smoked German Summer Sausages & More Bockwurst
I made some good Deutschland-style sausages last weekend. One version is a fresh (non-smoked) Bockwurst , a recipe I`ve made several times before. It`s probably our family`s favorite as it tends to disappear within a week, no matter how large a batch I make. This bockwurst batch will be five pounds....

Question. At what time does the transfer from the smoker to the bath take place? I'm thinking that both the smoker temp and bath temp will be at 165°. The smoker temp get raised gradually from 130° to 165°, sausage is done at IT of 152°, then the ice-bath. Maybe after the sausage has been in the sm...

I've never used beechwood, but as Ross pointed out, some varieties of smoke wood truly 'color' the meat more so than others (hickory is a definite 'coloring' wood). When I know I'll be finishing of sausages in the water bath, I tend to be a bit more heavy-handed with the smoke application, knowing I...

I am going to lower the ginger and black pepper and increase the tomatoes. I can add some parsley for color, too. I always write my recipes in percentages so I write the ingredients on the board and put the weights as I calculate them based on the green weight of the meat. I used cheap ready grated...

Ross, when I make burgers or sausage patties, I found these little items to be quite handy. I've seen them referred to as 'english muffin rings' (cheap at amazon). The nice part about them is they're the perfect diameter for use with breakfast sandwiches. I line them with plastic wrap & am able to c...

Re: Pork Loin $1.99lb.
Due to iffy weather and my wife having the flu we cancelled a Vegas trip for another month. Safeway has whole pork loin in the bag for $1.99lb this week, about as good as it gets. I've got two eight pounders cut in half, shot up with brine solution and soaking in the remaining brine in the fridge t...

I like the look of this recipe! Since I picked up a dehydrator last summer for the wife, we've a load of dried apricots that I can see would go very well in these sausages!

So this is what it feels like to be a Superbowl loser, rotten!

A number of kirby cannon users operate them on their kitchen counters & do just fine. I just like to have access to both sides of the unit when I work & room to move around so working outside on a large table works fine for me. In most of Kirby's vids & user shots, you see his stuffers in operation ...

Having both hands free would be nice, but I don't have a problem using the crank stuffer alone. If the stuffer is set up so the sausage drops into a container, all that's needed is controlling how fast the casing pays out. I've asked several times about the advantages of water stuffers, no one has ...

I have not been able to understand the benefits of a water stuffer (other than the large vertical commercial ones.) I wish I could try one to see what the rage is all about. It looks like they take up a lot of room and they appear to be very slow compared to a good vertical crank stuffer. (Not a cr...
