Fat_Bob I’m just gonna leave this right here. Jonathon knows what time it is.

In all seriousness, though, Thanks for this video Austin and Jonathon. My last ham didn’t turn out very juicy, so I’m really looking forward to making my next ham the @Walton-s way.

badfire2625 That is an awesome screenshot!!! Love it!

badfire2625 Careful, he’ll put a fire blanket over you and Poof, you’ll disappear.

[BeerAndSausage]

Checking in from Lincoln, Nebraska. New to Meatgistics, new to sausage making. Have been home brewing beer 30 years, hobby smoking BBQ for 20 years, hobby sourdough bread baking 5 years. Making sausage seems to be a good fit. Looking forward to learning from the experienced. Thanks for hosting the forum.

[YooperDog]

BeerAndSausage welcome to the site. It sounds like you have a lot of the skills needed already. There is a solid knowledge base here to help you answer questions. Go Team Orange.

[craigrice]

BeerAndSausage you have come to the right place there is a wealth of knowledge on the website and the atmosphere of chat where you can ask questions from the members could not be better with there hands on knowledge !, and welcome to your new addiction .

[Fat_Bob]

BeerAndSausage You came to the right place. A real good bunch of folks here that’s always ready to help if you need…but your hat is the wrong color.
I grew up in your neck of the woods, (Fairbury). Haven’t been there in 50 years so that tells you something. LOL

Hi, Steve from Minnesota here. I have been processing my own deer sausage from home since the late 80’s. I really enjoy sausage making and smoking and discovered this site and figured it is always good to learn new tips and tricks.

Welcome to the community! Lots of great knowledge here. Don’t forget to go team blue!

[kyle]

I knew I forgot something in my welcome… … Go team blue

kesmc27 Hi Steve, welcome to the group. You definitely want to join team orange.

[badfire2625]

kesmc27 Hi Steve. Welcome aboard. You’ll be able to share a lot of your experience and get some new insights along the way. Team or"A"ange is the one to join up with. I’m sure that you’ll be recruited ferociously by the "B"lue Team.

[kesmc27]

Can someone please explain what the “teams” are about?

[Chef]

kesmc27 On a serious note, it is just a friendly competition of Orange which is Austin team, and the Blue which is Jonathon Jonathon team. Just healthy fun.
Now on a practical note, Blue Team Rules. It has the most awesome members, the most knowledgeable members, a true team leader, i.e. Jonathon, and the Blue team RULES.

It really is all about fun. This community is wonderful.

[badfire2625]

kesmc27 you noticed that Chef explained the serious part first before he explained the non-serious part. That part about blue ruling is clearly a joke by his own definition… Even their leader has expressed interest in coming to Team Orange. I can post some pictures of Jonathon that show him rocking an orange hat and gloves as an offer of proof.
