When cleaning my grinder plates, I take them out in the back yard and blow them out with the air compressor, works like a charm, then back to the sink for a good scrubbing

Do you have one? If not, I would recommend one they work pretty well. I would like to give the pellet model a try...

Hey all Wanted to share a Christmas gift that I got, it`s an "A-maze-n-smoker". I wonder if somebody else on the WD site has had experience with this little smoker. I like to refer to it as a smoke generator, but the web site calls it a smoker. The smoker (generator) works great for the BBQ or small...

Thanks for posting, will definitely give this a try. One thing I enjoy in life next to sausage making is a good BBQ!
Have a safe and happy holiday
Wally

Whew I`m glad you said that.
Thanks..
Now with that being said, this is what I'm buying my wife for Christmas

My apologies I guess I was in a strange mood last night and just wanted to poke a little Christmas fun. I meant no harm, I hope no offence was taken.
Now I will go back to the pink powder in the corner

Hey Bubba
I have that same slicer advertised at Mid Western too, it works ok, but I think its objective is to slice bread, works ok with meat but not great.

But look honey it slices and dices meat really well and hey we can make great sausage too

I`m interested in that IM200 knife sharpener at http://www.midwesternresearch.com and it`s on sale too. Might just have to buy one for the wife for Christmas

I was looking for a grinder to order for my Christmas from my wife

For the wife? Come on Dick we are all friends here, you can tell us who you are really buying this as a Christmas present for

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but might be worth a look. You could adjust the pork for all beef, and add a half pound of pork fat for texture.

Keymaster I wouldn`t worry about a vent or cutting a hole in the cabinet. If the cabinet door has a good seal I would just crack it open once in a while. You might want to install a fan inside, in the future for minimal air flow. Nice job your work looks like a neat and clean setup. Wally

Hey CW Not sure about the rest of the ol` sausage making hombres here on the site, but I gotta tell ya, this is absolutely the best darn beef stick recipe. I made a 10 lb batch a couple weeks back and it didn`t last long! I now have another 10lb batch in the smoker and my wife and I are setting up g...
