Sawhorseray, noticed your interest in pineapple sausage, just noticed this fresh sausage seasoning here at Misty Gully (Suppliers) in Aus. "NEW Chilli & Pineapple Sausage/Burger Seasoning AUD$5.99 " http://www.mistygully.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=55_38_63&products_id=394 Not sure as to h...

Crusty44 was kind enough to advise of the wonders of CSABAI and I thought I'd give it a go using some super lean Sambar Deer venison and Pork. I grabbed a pork runner (casing) from the local butcher, front 1/3rd of a pig from the abbattoir and a few things like Garlic, caraway seeds, chillie flakes ...

The larding of lean meat is a great idea, will have to try it on our very lean Sambar venison in Aus.

Thanks fellas.

Ditto here huck, they look great, well done and top skills !

And not telling you how to suck eggs, the only thing I can come up with re the amount of mince left in the filler is if the piston was upside down...never seen or used one I admit

In years gone by I have made a lot of venison meat Cabana fresh sausages and added minimal amounts of Cure No 1. I'm thinking round 1gm cure / 1 kg meat. ( or 1/1000 ) After hanging overnight in the cool room they were vacuum packed and frozen. After months they cook up a beaut red colour and taste ...

Knife action camera !



That looks very appetising, the old saying we eat with our eyes is very true when pics like that are posted.

Looks fantastic.

Congrats Ross

nuynai,

Good idea mate !

I carry some pink fluoro tape for attaching to antlers when carrying out of dense bush. Better to be safe than sorry and readily seen by the occasional other hunter.

Thats interesting CW, didn't know it was held in such high repute. It is used here for that purpose by custom and home knife makers and looks quite good. Very hard antler and cast by the stags annually and a new pair grown. I have a couple of Cutco knives that I like veyr much, the double d serrated...

Ray, hunting the wild hogs would be action packed at times, a lot of Aus. has feral pigs that are shot in the thousands as vermin. None real close to my part of (south/east) Aus. If you want to read more about Sambar Deer in Aus. have a look at a local forum here, ......... http://www.australianbush...

Thats a beaut bit of work there Ursula, well done, love to have one like that :grin: Re condensation, is there something to paint on the exterior to seal it from rain/fog that wouldn't go through the wood to far and affect the interior, dryer = less swelling ? Maybe a wax based timber application. A...

Thanks ChuckWagon, The German Wirehair Pointer is nearly 6 yr old now. He's very disciplined and I could put the tastiest bloodiest piece of dog "caviar" out of the deer in front of his nose. If I say No, he won't touch it.....lol...just keeps looking at it until I click the fingers and/or say Good ...

Hello folks, first thread and will try to give you an idea of one of the things we do with wild shot Sambar Deer venison. No closed season, tags or bag limits. (1) Procure deer... http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g462/bill338/P1010306.jpg After getting the deer into small enough pieces carry out ...

Hey Devo,

At some stage, pre smoking I guess, you drained off the brine ?

Looks delicious, very innovative, never seen a bacon like product made of mince before this.

Some good ideas here

The contents of that outfit need "Armaguard" (Security firm in Aus.) redzed, they all look terrific. Looking forward to the taste test report and any pics you may have time to take between chewing and washing down with something red ! No expert btw, but I have bought some brown butchers string, is q...

Good idea Jan, I have dealt with "BUTCHER AT HOME" (EAM SALES) in QLD, excellent to deal with and I like their premixes.

I thought freight to VIC. was quite reasonable when I last ordered (2011) .
