    Just to pipe in. I made polish sausage for the first time.
    I used a variation of my Dads (He worked in a small Polish meat market for over 50 years) and a few others I saw.
    The left over in the grinder  were fried up for a taste. Amazed myself! I hope he's proud of me.
    Will cold smoke it on Sunday. I'll report back.
    Have a great grillin' Saturday.

    Just had the finished product.

    It tasted pretty good if I don't say myself. May tweak it a bit ,but overall real good.

    Sorry, but forgot(on purpose) some pics. I didn't want to post any because I cold smoked them on my old gas smoker.

    Her goes Big Phil. I'm writing this as for a 1st timer as I am or was. So don't be offended.

    7# pork shoulder

    6 cloves garlic presses

    1-1/3 tsp pink cure salt-because it was going into REAL casings

    1 tbls salt

    1-1/2 tbls pepper

    1-1/2 tbls majoram

    1-1/2 tbls mustard seed- crushed

    1 cup ice cold water.

    Cut off the sinew as it stops the hand grinder. The grinder had small 3/16" ? holes in the die.I may get a 1/4 or 3/8"die .It didn't seem course enough . Mix in the seasonings.Fry up a small piece to check flavor.Add the water before stuffing. Mix in until all absorbed.

    The casings I think were 3/4 to 1-1-1/8 " .Will get next size larger. Up to maybe a 1-!/2". After rinsing them I flushed water through them. Made it easer getting them on the stuffer snout. I also forgot to take the blade and die out when I started stuffing.  Could not get much in to the casing with them in.

    I may adjust next time with 1 or 2 extra garlic cloves and more marjoram.

    Used my gas smoker @ about 150* with hickory chips until sausage reached about 155-160*. About 2 hours or so. Warmed it up a bit more for supper with some kapusta(sauer kraut).

    Good luck and let me know what you think.

    @bigphil

    Never made any of them - but just getting into sausage making - seems to be a good source of recipes here:

    http://www.meatprocessingproducts.com/sausage-recipes.html

    they have 3 breakfast sausage recipes to choose from.  I also found this interesting and thought the country sausage was pretty breakfast like when I tried it.

    I just started making sausage a couple of months ago. I used one of Cabela's seasoning packs that someone had given me a while ago. It turned out well. The only thing I was short on was not enough fat in the meat so the sausage gets dry if you cook it a little long.
