LOL... I have about 9 Fatties in the freezer now and still have a few feet to go before I see the bottom of my freezer. This stuff multiplies I swear! I kinda went overboard I think but... it was only .99 cents a pound I could resist in buying all they had - TWICE - lol Thanks for the clearer...

Thanks for the remarks Bigwheel. Salt is something I have been playing with. I have no idea what spices are in the base aside from tasting and trying to figure out what the supplier put in it. I've cut the rosemary considerably as well as the salt. I've been playing with the nutmeg and sage...

I've got about 60lbs of Pork Sausage Chubs and want to turn a few pounds into Stuffed sausage. Brats would be best. For several weeks i've been trying to figure out the spices in the chubs so I can compensate when mixing up brat spices but I always end up over powering the taste buds. I've...

she doesn't but I do and I'm here to tell ya. If I was a mouse I'd live at a bar too :)

@BW all my kids grew up with the mom singing that song to them. now I can' get it out of my head.

Well, I've started back on my journey into sausage and curin'. Kids are grown and there tastes have matured so they now appreciate a good butt or Turkey Turd fresh out of the smoker. So now the journey begins. I've spent the last few days shopping (and buying) and now I wait. today I received...

I like to bbq in the fall winter too. Ice melts FAST in Kansas Summer! I love sniffin' Butts on cold winter morns myself.

Like the way you think there BW ;) I knew a Bigwheel here local to me. His nick name came from the wheelchair he was bound to. Hellava guy. Handy with a saw and a hammer too.

Pulled the trigger on the LEM 3/4hp as well as some snack casings, 32mm casings, some butchers twine, extra ss cutting blade, and an HDMI cable - lol also ordered some spices, Cure 1, special binder, dextrose, and more casings from Butcher & Packer. already have a vertical stuffer on the way...

Owe ma lord, that is some funny shiit right there BW!!! I've been a prime member (free shipping) with amazon for years, never had a problem - famous last words right? My MB electic purchase two years ago came free ship, with a coupon and a discount. paid 100 bucks for it and shipped free on...

Spew alert! "...way too manuel labor intensive for lazy old fat boys who sweat a lot. lol" Whew, I can sure relate to that - lol Cabelas commercial grade grinder. I'm looking at the 3/4hp LEM 3/4hp LEM .35hp grinder I'm a prime member thanks to the wife being a teacher so free shipping is a...

Thanks BW. I'm thinking a grinder is a motor, gears and a auger. a dual purpose grinder is a motor, gears a chuck and an auger where someone has made attachments to fit the chuck. seems reasonable to me. I to have a kitchenaid and used the grinder many many years ago and was ok considering I...

ok, I have $400 to spend on a grinder. I'm looking at the Cabelas 3/4hp or the LEM .35 ($279), If I can justify the extra $24 dollars Lem has the 3/4 for $424, and as yet undiscovered grinders in this price range. they have great reviews, adaptable for other kitchen items the wife might...

My first try http://www.bbq-4-u.com/forum/f19/gimpys-boobie-gyros-22144.html#post252965 BOOBIES!!! - that's teenage boys talk for "pretty darn good" :)

I started this recipe over in the Sausage group here: http://www.bbq-4-u.com/forum/f31/gyros-er-sausage-22126.html The idea was to treat this Gyro meat stuff like sausage. My first several attempts at Gyros ended up dry with the texture of cardboard. So I figured I'd whip it up and cook it very...
