I recently came into possession of five sewing machines and after seeing the prices of these things I thought I might try my hand at making them myself. I've sewn a pillow case together once and that was easy enough so I might just try my hand at this. Maybe I could sell them for let's say $5.24 eac...

Never used the cloth casings but was wondering if they can be re-used. Seems like that would be possible. Can you do this?

Looks great!

Makes a big difference doesn't it? I did some Cajun the same way and it made a marked difference with them as well. Sadly I kept a few single smoked one's in the fridge as a reference and I'm thinking of tossing them because they are just not up to snuff.

But then once in a while we have no ther options, and just have to bite the bullet. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: How big a plate were you using that the bullet went right through? I have had my grinder just come to a grinding halt on a 300 Win Mag all copper Barnes bullet. 3/16" plate but I don't think ...

I process a fair amount of game and try to be sure I don't pick up any bullets along the way but it happens from time to time. I've learned bullets will destroy a $300 set of meat cuber blades in just a second. I learned this about 10 years ago and since then I haven't had any issues till last week ...

I couldn't agree more on the importance of the process. I treated some Cajun sausages the same way and it truly transformed them to a higher level. I think everyone gets in a hurry but doing it this way reminded me of the importance of taking your time and letting things cure properly. It also echoe...

Nice build on the poacher.

Looking good!

"The Maverick ET-732 is a dual-probe, remote thermometer used to monitor both barbecue and food temperatures. The probes plug into a transmitter that sends data to the receiver that can be located up to 300' (91m) away, according to the manufacturer." I have been using this in my smoker for the las...

I bought two that went to my phone via bluetooth I think. Both were alright but they seemed to drain the batteries to much for my liking and I have gone back just hanging the meter on the side of the smokehouse. I imagine they have improved since I bought mine though.

Looks awesome. My daughter got a nice little buck yesterday so butchering tonight while I smoke reds Venison sausage I made last night. I have one more tag for Mule doe to fill this weekend, then my December weekends will be sausage making and some homemade Sauerkraut. Going to butcher a lamb and a...

When I made reds Venison sausage last night, that was the first time I had pre-cured all the meat. The grind and mix was defiantly quite different. In the shop I helped at they made such volumes and so often it would be very difficult to do that with every batch. It really mixed up nice and sticky....

Tonight we had a simple but delicious supper consisting of nothing more than Venison Krakowska Sandwiches with mayo and fresh German mustard and lettuce. I think the mix of the venison with the various type pork classes gives the meat a unique and interesting look and flavor. Apart from the addition...

Can't wait to see the sausage and your review! In all honesty, this brings back childhood memories of a little butcher shop I'd ride my bike to and gaze at the sausages the guy had hanging in his window. This is excellent and the second smoke, which I had wonders about, transformed the sausage into...

I had some questions on Redzed's Venison Kielbasa and the need for a second smoke when it was obviously good the first go round I wondered what good a second smoke could do for it. Nevertheless, I plowed on and gave them the second smoke yesterday and let them stay in the smokehouse to continue dryi...
