Finally got around to ordering a sausage stuffer, and meat mixer (already have a grinder).

‘Where is everyone ordering your casings, etc from? I assume there has to be someone cheaper than LEM?

    Did you try your local butcher? Mine carries everything. Its not out in the case, just have to ask, and the prices are very reasonable

    I’m definitely still a rookie but I’ve learned the quality of the casings matters. I made sausage with the casing from the local grocer and quality casings from The Sausage Maker. Quality wins hands down for me.

    Here is another good one. I haven’t ordered from them in quite some time but they use to be top notch. Might still be worth a look.

    I second "The Sausage Maker".  I was just looking at their catalog (snail-mail).

    Going all in, huh? You are going to have a blast. 

    It depends what I need and how much as to who I order from. I have had great service from these three (in no particular order):

    1) The Sausage Maker
    2) Butcher and packer https://www.butcher-packer.com/
    3) Craft Butchers pantry.  https://butcherspantry.com/
    The last one is a bit more expensive, but they have some stuff that I have not seen carried by others.

    Overlooking the obvious, but worth mentioning ...fresh healthy pork.....Salt, good salt, non idodozed. preferably sea salt, even Morton's kosher has anti caking agents ...start with those two things , the rest is easy

    I've always just bought my casings from Academy. I'm sure Bass Pro Shop and Cabela's probably carry them as well.

    @CTMike , you will see a ton of sizes in casings...What I use

    Fresh and Smoked Sausage 38-42 MM Hog Casings ( they have bigger and smaller, this is a sweet spot for me ) 

    Snack Sticks- 20-22 MM Sheep Casing 
    Salami - 60-65 MM Beef Middles
    Whole Muscle 102-114 MM Beef Bung 

    Collagen Sheets are easy and good for whole muscle as well

    Stuffing Tube Cleaner Set is nice to have 
    Sausage Pricker is helpful

    and on and on and on
