    Beaver cooked prior to grinding

    I'm new to sausage in general. Been trapping beaver for the state for 3 years now. I always just made jerky or burger out of them. You'd think theyd have a good yield. However a 50 pound beaver might yield 15 pounds of very lean beef like meat. However I would like to expand my repitore a bit...

    Instacure #2 question

    i have a few clarifying questions about Instacure #2. Some say that you should not consume anything that has cured less than 30 days with Insta #2, I've also seen recipes that suggest using Insta #2 but then say it may be done in three weeks. Does it have to be 30 days to be safe? Or is if the...

    More Kielbasa

    I had posted a pic of the sausages I stuffed in the other thread yesterday, but didn't want to hijack his thread. I used the recipe posted on @Cajuneric s site (Two Guys and a Cooler) with a couple changes. I dialed down the salt to 1.5%. and the sugar to 0.75%. I also used potato starch at 4%...

    Sausage Stuffer

    I stuffed my first sausage yesterday with my Lem stuffer. While stuffing I had a major problem. It takes 3 hands because of my kitchen situation. I can't hold the stuffer, turn the crank, and hold the casing on the spout all at the same time. All of my counter tops are granite and they...

    Been working on pineapple sausage lately. So far I am satisfied with the flavor profile but still looking for that next level. Just came to me, how would coconut taste in pineapple sausage?

    Too Much Smoke

    My wife decided we should start eating grass fed/grass finished meat, so now our freezer is full of a 1/4 beef & 1/2 a cow. This weekend we're smoking a small ham (more precisely, a piece of a larger ham) and a blade roast. As I got the roast out of the freezer I saw a package of potato...

    OFG Smokies

    First, let me apologize for my absence. Life has been interesting and my Traeger has been out of action due to a lack of parts. I have made hot dogs, summer sausage, snack sticks, and more. For some reason, I never got around to making a smokie. I don’t know why. I love smokies. My good buddy...

    smoker recommendation for low-temp sausage smoking?

    New to the forum here! So please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong place. I have been making fresh, unsmoked sausage for more than 20 years, and I think I'd finally like to get a smoker. I MAY hot-smoke some, but my main goal is to poach and then cold-smoke. I have done a lot of...

    Country Style Bologna ~ Cold Smoked ~ Sous Vide Finish

    Years ago I gave up on emulsified meat for my frankfurters in lieu of a double-grind of my pork and beef.... and since they are similar products the same holds true for bologna. This weekend I tweaked my frankfurter recipe and made two chubs of bologna to test out. My recipe has about 15...

    Cure for Venison Bologna

    My family and friends in my hometown have been making the same cold-smoked “deer bologna” as we call it for several generations. The recipe calls for 30 lbs of meat/fat, 8 oz salt, 2-3/4 oz. garlic salt, and a few other ingredients for flavor. The mixture is then stuffed into hog casings and...
