We've only been here a week and a half, we're not even close to being completely unpacked. But things are going well, and my new job is enjoyable.
There is a Gander Mountain here in Lubbock, and I've never been to one until just a week ago. I remember someone here mentioning that they have meat...
I like making this, even if it's hardly sausage at all. The more I read about how it's made (let alone every new recall for E. coli), the better the idea of making my own seems.
I've gotten good results. It crumbles well (especially when cooked straight from the grinder), but it also firms up...
But the last try was a trial run, and I was... if not embarrassed, then at least not so proud of it.
This is mild italian, uncased. About 3 pounds. I used this recipe (and not entirely happy with it):

First off, I don't blame the recipe...
I've been reading about sausage making off and on for months now, whatever google might show me for whichever keywords sprang to mind for 20 minutes when work was slow or our baby was quiet.
I've seen some recipes for both of these, but really don't go into any of the finer details. Are these...
I've found a recipe I think I like, I have all the ingredients. I now have a small digital scale that I got for $20, so that I can measure out the pork to the recipe better. I'm mostly set.
I've already ground chuck at this point, so I have some idea of what it's like, how difficult cleanup...
But as of Monday I'm unemployed. Keeping in line with our much reduced budget, I can't afford any sausage stuffer tubes, new plates, or any of the rest to make sausage.
However, having my meat grinder and plenty of spare time, I wanted to try it out. So I found some chuck roasts in the freezer...
I have a #10 Enterprise/Chop-Rite hand grinder (someone beat me on ebay for the #22... still frustrated by that). The grinder itself is in good shape, but I'll need to replace the knife and plate (only one with it, too rusted to fix, I think).
For now, I'd just like to grind hamburger meat...
Amazon reviews don't really cut it for this sort of thing. My budget's modest, but in the next month or two I'd like to get one. I ask here because electric/propane/whatever seem like cheating... besides, I really like the idea of smoking with hickory or mesquite.
Is there anything available...
I'm rather new to the idea of smoking meats. Mostly, I'm just wanting to make sausages myself, and I've ordered a Enterprise #10 meat grinder off of ebay. I think I'll probably start out just grinding my own hamburger for now, but eventually I'm going to move up to smoked sausages.
