Had enough..

Where I am currently located for work there is no such thing as smoked sausage, breakfast sausage etc...so I’m making my own. All of my meat processing equip is at home, so I picked up some smaller batch equipment that will get me by here in the land of rice and noodles.

Little manual #10 grinder and 7 lb stuffer. This little grinder ain’t my 1 hp at home, but it works..



Little batch of hot breakfast sausage.



Little batch of fresh pork & green onion sausage.

Ready to roll.





About to build a small portable cold smoker that I can use here, smoked sausage and boudin up next...

Thanks for lookin’...

Used those hand grinders while growing up. Brings back old memories.

Looks great! Recipe?

Very nice Skinner you could probably sell that chit over there and make a killin.

That's a great idea for a side business....bet the guys at work would buy you out in the first 10 minutes every day....

That looks delicious!

On a side note, I’ve always wondered how cleaning grinders and stuffers. Does it all come apart and easy to clean?

Yes. You'll need a good bottle brush.

We ran a couple of pieces of bread through the grinder and then took it apart to clean it in the sink.

Looks great skinner!

Looking good

Thats my grandmother cleaned hers. It clamped on a bread board that slid out of the kitchen counter cabinet just under the counter top with a metal rim.

I would say I am surprised you did this, but I am not

Kind of surprised it took this long to be honest

Next week he'll be posting a hubcap on the stove burner as his new disk cooker....

That looks fantastic!!!

I just heard a few electrons across the pond get aggravated when he read that

I would be shocked if that doesn’t happen...

Thanks guys, it turned out pretty good!

I’m a fan of AC Legg’s Old Plantation Seasoning and just add a little to it depending on what I’m making....for the pork & green onion sausage I used the Old Plantation #10 pork sausage blend scaled for 5lbs of meat. Added 2 tbs of minced garlic, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp hot smoked Spanish Paprika, & one bunch of Spring Onions from Thailand (closest thing to green onions I could find and they are very good).

Nothing to it, all comes apart.

Couple of the guys told me that this morning lol.

I’ve been looking for a heavy disc! Haven’t found yet, only thin woks lol.

I like Legg's as well. Good blend that keeps me from thinking too hard about the mix.

Looking good!

What brand/make is your hand grinder? I bought one a few years ago to use at home for smaller batches, think it was a Weston? but not sure.... that thing sucks! I made 50 pounds with it the first time and it is leaves a lot to be desired. Plat wouldn't stay tight and the plastic/nylon bushing around the auger about wore out the first use. Very rough casting also.

What are the chances one finds it way into your luggage for your next trip back....

It’s an LEM #10. I’ve only ground 10lbs so far with no issues, a lot of cranking though lol.

It's possible Snake, LOL....

At it again this weekend. The boss made me take this Sat off, so now I have a two day weekend to make sausage and drink cold beer. Just whipped up some homemade breakfast sausage/egg/cheese breakfast sandwiches. About to get busy on a test run of pork/chipotle/garlic fresh sausage, more pics to come. Hope all of you are well.

I want !!!

bring some next trip up North

Will do Buzz!

Test batch of a new course ground pork/ chipotle/ garlic fresh sausage. Untwisted case marks sample point. Life is good...
