Sausage . . Boy that's a broad topic

If you're interested in smoked sausage, get a primer on sausage casing, meat prep (including curing salts), stuffing fixtures or attachments, and the process for smoking sausage in whatever type of smoker you will use. It is definitely a learning process. Luckily, there are lots of resources out there.

Try searching the forum - there are hundreds of posts from experts on smoked sausage making over the years.

Just my personal opinion: beef, turkey, chicken just don't make good sausage without lots of added fat. I stick with pork.

Yeah looking for that very information . . but it is so overwhelming, honestly don't know where to begin. That is why I wanted to start here to see if there were some "basics".

I always refer people to a book by Charles Reavis called "Home Sausage Making" which I started with and used for years and still do. I don't know the current publishing status, but you might check Amazon. My edition dates from the early 80's.

You can search the forum for it. I have only made summer sausage using cure from Waltons Inc. the directions come with cure. Turned out well

I like this place for my sausage making stuff. There A.C. Legg Southern Belle breakfast sausage is really good. http://www.sausagemakersupplies.com/

Mike, A close match to this one where I've gotten my casings for years. https://www.sausagemaker.com/

Both look great as resources.
