That sausage looks outstanding!!  I really have to get off my butt and try to make some!

Its not so much fun to start, well like I did anyway.  A mexican grinder/stuffer = Manual!

Last year I upgraded with a sausage stuffer, a 5# from LEM It made all the difference even though it was small, It still suits me fine. OMG it was like night and day. Suddenly I could allow my curiosity to go wild.  Definately the best first step for me.

Then this year, I went overboard......  Meet Max, he's only a #12 but he could been a contender! This sucker could emulsify reinforced concrete, wouldn't even bind down the motor.....

You progress, its an addiction. I am thinking maybe this year a vacumn sealer, next year a slicer.....LOL It never ends. Boys and their toys.

You realize how much sausage you could buy for the amount spent? But then you wouldn't get to grind it, mix it, stuff it, and then smoke it. I smell so good the day of the smoke, I won't even take a shower. Axe body spray ain't got nothing on pecan smoke!

Its a load of fun, and its legal!  I am thinking tomorrow I will make some fresh green onion and garlic sausage and maybe some boudin (butts were on sale last week). LOL I just can't help myself.

I hear ya! I got the 5# stuffer, a Kitchner #12 grinder, bought the vac sealer from Lisa, built the smokehouse, Holy crap! I could have bought a pig and a cow so far!! But am loving it. Bought some loins to do so CBB, and a whole eye of round from Costco to do some sausage (of some sort) then yesterday, was surprised by 4 whole hogs dumped in my truck at $50 each!! Holy crap! This may be more than I can handle!
