I started with a Waring grinder from Lowes. At the time around $79 with a rebate. Seemed to be a pain making the sausage with the included tubes. Ether came out like gang busters or really slow. Sometimes requiring a lot of down pressure.
I bought the Gander Mt. vertical stuffer this year and...
This was my first deer season using natural casings. I think the naturals are much easier to use overall and more tender. Just harder to find around here. I used the callogen for several sizes for fresh and smoked sausage before. I'd never go back.
I just purchased the Rytek sausage book...
The second attempt at smoked venison sausage. The first with natural casings and a new 5# Gander Mt stuffer. Wow what a difference. Much easier and I feel a much better product with the natural casings. Outside temps in the 20's thus the towels on top to help maintain 200-220 temp in the smoker...
A venison neck roast is the toughest piece of meat on a deer in my opinion. Especially rutty big bucks. We debone ours and throw it in the grinder for sausage. Wouldn't be my first choice for a smoke.
Now a backstrap your talking gourmet meat.
Finally got the first deer. My older son killed a nice fat doe. Got her butchered and in the freezer/fridge. Got me motivated to get out and grind some pork butt and beef suet for the ground and sausage. We usually do 20% beef fat for ground venison and 30% pork for sausage. I really like this...
Very cool Meat Hunter. Your kids actually know meat comes from an animal and not "the grocery store". These are life skills your kids can pass on to your grandchildren.
Nothing more rewarding than introducing young ones to hunting or fishing.
We've had the slowest firearms season I've ever...
Heat is usually not an issue in mid November here in Indiana. But it is this year. How do you guys in warmer climates that process your own deer deal with keeping a deer cool enough for butchering?
Supposed to be 66 tomorrow.
Sometimes there is a reason things are hard to find. Not that many consumers buy them. Not trying to discourage just being realistic. I know a guy that sells nothing but hot sauces at flea markets and other events and does pretty well. He has a big company private label his stuff in addition to...
Finally got a chance to try out the mods I learned on here after several frustrating previous attempts. Ribs with what I told was called a St. Louis rub. No sauce during smoking. I tried the 3-2-1 method with apple juice in the foil. I thought I was in trouble about 5 hours into it. Smoker temp...
I found this site after my son pointed me here. I tried giving away a very heavy older Brinkman horizontal to him. I got it for next to nothing from a customers house. It was unused for years. I think I discovered why. I had been banging my head over this unit. I had made several attempts at...
