Greetings all, I’m John from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Home of the Calgary Stampede. As a kid I helped process meat on the farm, and have been an avid hunter and fisherman to this day. I retired in January so decided to get back into sausage making. Just got my updgraded slicer from Walton’s and posted some pictures of the upgrade. I also ordered a variety of spices & casings. I have a Backwoods upright briquet smoker and took a day long course at a nearby smoke house, Big Sky BBQ which got us both into it. Your Meatgistics ‘how to’ videos are very helpful and inspiring. Thanks.

jfyoung45 welcome! There are some really great people here with a ton of knowledge and experience, who are happy to share and help. I’ve only been here a few months, but there is nothing like having folks discuss the pros and cons of several options, and they’ve all tried all the options. Every day I read something here which helps me avoid a mistake. I agree with you on the fantastic Meatgistics videos, that is how I found this place too
And if you like cooking, check out the Bragging Board cooking threads, always some amazing meals! -

jfyoung45 Welcome to the community. I lived on what was the Queen Charolotte Islands for four years in the 70s. Loved the hunting and fishing. Sure you’ll enjoy this place. Lots of helpful people.

jfyoung45 My wife and I would like to go back for a visit. One son was born in Masset and the other in Prince Rupert. I’ve seen pictures of how much it’s changed.
