Hello
My chicken Brats came out Great,
I smoked them at low temp and then ramped up the temp
I used collagen casings ,But the skin came out a little dry and tuff. Is the fresh collagen casings better to use for this application? Or maybe more moisture internally?
Thank you

Jonathon
Thank you again for all of your advice and useful information . Next time I will try the fresh collagen

Another question,have you ever played around with a sous vide? With the precise temperature settings and cooking in a bag would surly be the most tender sausages out there!
Anyway , I just ordered a sous vide to try out myself
Thank you!

I also own a GMG and smoked summer sausage with great results
I hung my sausage vertically and also used a smoke daddy smoke generator

Happy holidays everyone!
I would like to experiment makng summer sausage using chicken thighs .
Maybe a little healthier .
I’ll be using Walton’s seasonings
How much carrot fiber for 10 pounds of chicken?
Any cooking changes on the smoking procees?
Or,did I miss any previous written information on this?
Thank you very much for your help

Thank you Jonathon!

Hello everyone,
What are the pros and cons of using the sausage stuffer attachment on a meat grinder verses an actual sausage stuffer?
Seems like the preference is a sausage Stuffer that you hand crank.
Why is that?
If your using the stuffer attachment on a meat grinder,what is the disadvantage?
I’m looking at purchaseing a separate manual stuffer because everyone recommends that it performs better than the attachment type on a meat grinder
Any thoughts would be appreciated

Hello and again thanks for all the great information on meatgistics!

I have a question on what would be the number one flavor profile ,casing size and what type of meats that are generally preferred and popular in this country for smoked sausages?
The kind that is served at all the famous and popular BBQ restaurants in Texas?

What is your recommendation and do you carry it?

One that takes in the smoky flavor
One that you always see in pictures on a big giant sample platter!

Thank you!

Hello
I recently just made 25 pounds of all chicken thigh brats
Purchased and used all your recommended products
Brats came out great!
I used 38 mm casings
Next time I will use 30 mm casings
My question is about link tying
Do you have any videos on brat link tying? Or just twist and cut?
Thanks for all the great information!
