Default RE: ? sausage & jerky

You will gain alot from the book. The only thing I usualluy alter in his recipes is the amount of fat. His recipes may be more healthy, but I find by adding a little more fat . they are more juicy and flavorfull. In the first chapters he explains that most commercial products contain up to 30% fat. Most of his call for 20%. So I add slightly more, depending on past experiances. You'll do wise to keep notes of sucess' and failures. Times and temps. Enjoy and have fun.

It's gonna be fun and I'm gonna get fatter

That's the truth.
