Newhunter1 at work

I've got my last deer in the freezer and about 12-15 pounds of grind to turn into burger. I am planning on making this into summer sausage.

So I need recipes to do this. I've got a charcoal smoker (the one sold at walmart) and a grill that has three burners that can be independently turned on or off.

I want to do this myelf otherwise I'd just take it to the processors and have them do it myself. I do my own processing and am now ready to make my own sausage.

Help a hunter out...

You will need a couple of things:

Summer sausage casings
Summer sausage spices
Summer sausage cure
A good grinder
Appropriate sized casing stuffer attachment for your grinder

All above available from sausagemaker.com with instructions. You local butcher shop/meat processor may sell this stuff at a much cheaper price in volume.

Grind the meat with some beef fat (10-15%), mix in the cure/spices and stuff it into the casings. Then, smoke it to a 165 decgress farenheit internal temp.

Last year, I made bratwurst instead of summer sausage and they were more popular (better tasting).

It's ridiculously easy. It just takes time and effort. My co-workers would eat 500 lbs of this stuff per year if I would make it. They're hogs.

I have tried the three below kits and they are all very good but my personal preference would be the second one.

Like said above it is very easy. Just add 20% pork with fat and mix together.
