Looks great!

I just saved this one. All out of venison here, but should have plenty in a few months if all goes as planned!

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

It`s a keeper! Today I finished a batch of pepperettes, with your recipe. I have to admit, I thought these would have some major burn, with the cayenne pepper, black pepper, crushed red pepper and white pepper! But it wasn`t, has a good medium heat flavor! Would go good with bottle of suds :mrgreen:
Thanks for posting!

looks great,got a question for you guys.How do you separate the individual links when you first stuff them? I was twisting mine but it don't work out well.I see Big Guy ties his off but seems like alot of work,just thought there might be an easier way.

I twist when I can but sometimes I have to tie and like you say its a lot of trouble. If you can twist them gently put them in a container and leave them in the fridge overnight before you do anything else with them and you'll find they will be a lot easier to work with because they will hold the twist.
