Looks good Nepa's!
The local grocery store here had pork butt on sale for $1.00 per pound so I bought 35lbs to mix with my venison to make some brats and sausage.
Can't wait to see what your end product looks like!!  :)

Hey Easy, that was a great deal. The lowest we get it is $1.19 by the case.

I made some brats last weekend using a fresh brat kit and when I got done stuffing all of them I vaccum sealed them and put them in the freezer. Is this the right thing to do? I noticed you have yours hanging out.

Yes you did the right thing. I have mine hanging at room temp before i smoke them. After smoking i let them sit to get to room temp again then i vac seal them.

Here are the larger venison sausages. Stuffed into 32mm hog casings. Smoked with mesquite in the Traeger smoke setting. Took about 3.75 hours for the IT to get @160*

Cooling to room temp now then going to get vac sealed  ;D

Nepa, how about a linking tutorial on your blog? I am quite sure we have many members here that have improved their sausage skills over time, but can't do that one. [ME!] You could give us and others a step by step.

I installed a double cartridge filter system under the sink (1-fine micron & 1-charcoal). Works for me and my coffee is out of this world.
