Is this meat can be used to make sausages ?

Hi everyone! My both local supermarkets advertised pork sirloin chops and shoulder blade roast for $0.99 per # for this week. Really good deal but I am not sure if this meat can be used to make sausages (taste wise) and need your opinion on this. Also, what class of meat this relates? Thank you!

Bob K, Thank you very much for the information you have provided and it is very helpful. StefanS design is definitely looks great but it is quite a project. Taking in consideration my very space- limited backyard - it`s just not doable for me. On the other hand the second design (form the link you ...

Hi Butterbean, Once again, thank you for giving me a general idea on how to build my own, "propane based" smoker. Very interesting and easy to build (and cheap!!!) but I have several question thought: 1. "Air flow through these holes are regulated by simply using electrical box plates which are snug...

cathouse willy and Butterbean - thank you very much for your input. Cathouse willy - how reliable the Bradley smoker is? If I decide to go with Bradley, it`s going to be 6 racks smoker for $500 plus $200 Auber PID controller. I know it has four stars on Amazon but just want to know from your person...

Smokin-It #3 electrical smoker

Hi everyone, I am on the path to buy Smokin-It #3 electrical smoker mainly for making sausages and not for cooking/smoking meats like ribs, buts, briskets and so on. As soon I will be dealing (mainly) with sausages, I need to keep very precise temperature - preferably within 5 degrees. After visitin...

redzed,
would it be OK to add T-SPX instead of B-LC-007 starter culture for this particular recipe ? If yes, fermentation time should go up to 72 hours? Thanks!
