Longview, Texas
Hello,

Joined the site not long ago. I'm a member of several bbq forums but this one seems to be by far this biggest!! I enjoy smoking and grilling and now I'm wanting to get in touch with my Polish roots and try my hand at sausage making.

I live in Longview, Texas. Originally from Houston. Im 31 years old, married, have a lil 16 month old boy and another one due in July. I've been grilling since I was a teenager. I've been smoking about 4 or 5 years now. I just bought a new Weber Performer and I also own a 22.5" Weber kettle, a smokey joe and an 18" WSM.

I look forward to many hours of reading til my eyes bleed!!

My wife is Polish. Her mother taught us how to make sausage. You can not beat homemade Polish sausage. It is the bomb on the grill or smoked. We have a hand crank grinder/stuffer that belonged to her grandmother. We have a friend that is also of Polish decent, and we get together from time to time and have a sausage stuffing beer fest. The hardest thing is to find some one to grind pork for you. Most retail meat counters will not grind pork for you. I have had the most success finding local butchers that process deer meat to grind my pork.
 
Welcome to the SMF. Glad to have you here. Lots of good folks here and knowledge. Looking forward to your first qview.
