Mark , Why not use beef seasoned as for corned beef or pastrami and some of it ground and some knife cut into chunks and stuffed into large casings. There are recipes for doing that with pork and I have often don it with poultry. This is pork seasoned and cured as for ham. http://i1112.photobucket.c...

Mark, I was too late to add this as an edit. But when canning meat you must leave one inch of head space between the top of the meat and the rim of the jar.

Remember that burning wood creates considerable water vapor. The relative humidity at 19°F is always very low and when that air is heated to 50°F it is desert dry.

You must have some liquid in the jar for canning meat. The meat is going to be very much over cooked when it is finished. But with that said just do up a canner load and see how it works. I canned the entire content of my freezer when hurricane Isabel knocked out the power for a week. (We have a gas...

The link that I posted discusses the range of peppers used to make paprika and chili powder. Practically all dried and ground peppers(capsicum) are classified as paprika and labeled according to the heat.

Every few years I buy a package of every variety of dried chili's that I can find further dry them, seed and stem them and then mill them for chili powder. I add cumin separately. http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k482/nansssor/anchopablanosmokedoverapple006.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums...

Turkey breast,thigh and pork.

I purchased a very lean and dry frozen turkey and after roasting a portion decided to grind the rest with 50-50 pork trim and make Hot Smoked Polish sausage. It was a good call. http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k482/nansssor/porkturkeysausage002_zps205b39ff.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums...
