    Breakfast sausage won't freeze

    Made six pounds of venison breakfast sausage using Excalibur spices bought here and adding bacon trimmings for the fat. Some I've made in the past was way too lean, so I think I bumped the fat up to 30% in this batch, but I'm sure it wasn't higher. For what it's worth, the bacon trmmings came...

    Is 14 hours long for brisket?

    I've smoked a few briskets the past 4-5 years, but this one has me a little puzzled. Started with a 6 1/2 pound flat from Sam's. I rubbed it and refrigerated overnight. Set it out for an hour or so the next morning as I got the smoker up to temp. Put the meat on at 9 a.m. and pretty well...
