I couldn't find Sticky Chat 2 in Hyde Park, looked twice. This recipe sounds great, I've copied and pasted it onto a word doc, I'm giving this a try. I'm challenged for refrigerator space even tho I've got two freezers in my garage. I'll be incorporating Big Ray's Game Preservation System into this ...

After the sausage was processed and shrink-wrapped would it be safe to re-freeze the packs of sausage? RAY Ray, I poach all my chicken sausages a day after stuffing them, and then vacuum pack them for the freezer. Being precooked makes them a safe and quick snack for me or the grand kids. It's a sn...

My smoking unit arrived in great shape and now all I need is some weather. Every day here for the past couple of weeks it's been a high in the mid-90's most days, in the mid-100's on the others. The one day it reached a high of 81° I jumped on the opportunity and seasoned the smoker by running a loa...

I was wondering about buying chicken thighs in bulk when they come on sale, storing them in my freezer, and thawing them at a later date to make chicken sausage. After the sausage was processed and shrink-wrapped would it be safe to re-freeze the packs of sausage? I believe Rytec Kutas stated meat c...

Those look great, we love chicken sausage. I've had my dehydrator going non-stop for three days drying vine-ripe tomatoes I picked up for 78≠ a pound. Went to Safeway yesterday and got 30lbs of chicken thighs for 99≠lb, usually nets out right about 23 pounds of meat and skin after deboning. I've bee...

Sprouts gets their spices from a bulk place up in LA. I like their prices but sometimes splurge for the jarred spices when I'm making something special. Sometimes the Sprouts stuff is a little flavorless. The new smoker has arrived and I appear to be a genius, most beautiful thing I've ever seen. T...

sawhorseray, I checked out Otto's paprika section HERE and they have quite a selection. I'm able to get the "Pride of Szeged" locally. Did you get the store brand listed first on the page? I get all my spices at a local market chain named "Sprouts". They've got great selection at fair prices, I'm s...

I am in the process of preparing a Hungarian style smoked sausage. Yesterday I searched a couple of supermarkets for Hungarian Paprika and hot paprika but to no avail. I ended up buying a generic paprika (origin unknown). I also have a nice smoked paprika that I purchased from a sausage supply hous...

Here is a nice "little" machine. Its a Koch GP3 smoker. It has a few cool features like cooling coils for cold smoking, temperature and humidity control, a microprocessor for record keeping and processing condition, and a few other bells and whistles.

i'm a big dehydrator and do a lot of tomatoes, apples, pineapples, and plums when I get great deals. Pineapple sausage was a major force in my wanting a new smoker, before this I was always happy to just smoke the salmon I caught, sometimes a few pheasants. Now I want way more, and I will have it, b...

I've had a Cabelas Club Visa card for about ten years, been buying stuff from them for 25 years. I charge everything on that Visa card, groceries, gas, tires, lube jobs, and internet purchases, every little thing we buy. We pay the bill off in full every month so as not to incurr any interest charge...

To those who send folks home with written instructions, what are they? Especially the instructions for grilled sausages. Lets compare notes. Most of the folks I give my sausage to have a webber kettle, as do I. I tell them to fire up the coals on one half of the grill, when coals are red hot direct...

The price tags I have seen for all of the smoking supplies makes me wonder if I am in the wrong business. Oh, I forgot to add that this was paid for by me selling a pair of Swarovski binoculars and a fishing rod-reel combo on Craigslist this past week, haven't used either one in five years, picked ...

I haven't really heard anything good about them, but I haven't heard anything bad either. I've bought Swarovski binoculars and scopes, my gunsafe, a ton of fishing equipment, and all my camping gear from Cabelas over the years. They stand by their stuff, no questions asked, and when they put their n...

She wouldn't be happy, it's supposed to be 106° here today.

The wood pellets are what turn me off from the Bradley's
