Jonathon they were not in any bag just out on shelf, no pictures, shriveled up so bad mostly casing left. So where did meat go. Thank you

paugy thank you, ive learned something today , and will correct that on the next batch

Thanks guys appreciate all the help

paugy. do i need to use a pan of water when smoking summer sausage i was trying that to see if maybe my casing wouldnt stick to the meat

PapaSop. because i dont use a binder although my sausage is moist could that be why my casing sticks to the meat , when i pull casing off it tears little bit of meat off

shane102 no binder. Ive been making venison summer sausage for 4–5 yrs, and only use spices and cures either sausage kit or just spices by themselves with cure. I always wonder why they use all the other additives for summer sausage

I smoke small batches of summer sausage , and it usually turns out pretty good. I usuall get a premix seasoning add curing salt and smoke. This past winter i got seasonings from Waltons and smoked 20 lbs. And dint add anything else besides seasonings and cure salt, thats it. I had 4 logs of sausage in fridge after about 2-3 weeks in the fridge it had shrunk down to nothing , it was all shriveled up. What happened
