    From Chub to Brat

    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...

    From Chub to Brat

    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...

    From Chub to Brat

    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...

    Equipment as it rolls in

    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...

    $400 - which Grinder would you get?

    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.

    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...

    $400 - which Grinder would you get?

    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...

    $400 - which Grinder would you get?

    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...

    Gimpy's Boobie Gyro's

    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...

    I feel your pain Max. a very good friend of mine survived a massive stroke years ago and is still recovering. I try my best to cut the fats - then along comes Atkins and the doc says it's all good... wth?

    if it looks like a burnt wicker stool - caution lots of pics

    num-a-num are these good. I've made the famous bacon burger explosion before and they are good but always left the family with what we call "The BBQ burp", means you can still taste the BBQ hours later. This time I mixed 50/50 and lightened up on the smoke. Meaning used mild woods, ie: apple...

    Gyros..... er, sausage

    yea, there in lies the problem. The heat renders the fat out, hence the treating it like sausage. trust me, I've scanned and or tried all the decent looking recipes on the Internet. Including Altons recipe. It's where the sauce recipe came from ;) I've even looked at the one here and the...

    Hog...... rings. what size?

    what size hog rings are typical for general use around the stuffer? i'm seeing LEM offer 1/2 with pliers for 6 bucks then see 3/8 without pliers for 6 bucks elsewhere.

    Meat Grinders, reviews and opinions

    I've had great success with the KA in general. The first wife took hers so I had to buy another one for my next bride. It's been making dough and cakes for 20 years without a hitch. It's the commercial model that you crank up. it's been through a house fire, looks like a charcoal briquette but...
