Austin Tommy B here from south Louisiana now residing in Kingston, Tennessee. 68 yr ole that processes mostly my own venison. I also have a 40" masterbilt electric smoker and a large green egg for bbq. Hopefully I’m doing this right, I’m not computer savy. 2 weeks ago I did make summer sausage using your h blend. 15 lbs no additives, 5 lbs with cheese and 5 lbs with jalapenos. Venison to Boston butt was 20/80. That’s 80% venison just to clear any confusion. I smoked the SS following your guidelines to include ice water bath at the end. For my first time I was well satisfied. This week I’m trying A 15 lb run with a different cheese and adding some coarse black pepper. Any ideas on the amount of black pepper? I know thats an individual preference, but I would like the flavor similar to crack pepper jerky. A starting point would be helpful. I have been smoking brisket and Boston butts for several years. I now have an urge to expand and experiment. I am a sausage lover so I’m headed in that direction. Any ideas are appreciated also constructive criticism is always a plus. Thanks in advance.
Tommy B Welcome. You’ve found a great community. I also have a Masterbuilt electric. Look forward to hearing how you use yours.

wdaly I’m getting quite a few replies. I won’t be able to answer everyone but I will post updates after my next cook and that will be Friday.

Tommy B I’ll let you know up front that I’m very technically challenged. You’ll get better help once a few people start waking up. But to get you started go to your profile and click on your profile click on your name then there are 3 dots in a circle. Click that and go to edit profile. Scroll down and you’ll see badges and other things you can click on. When you’re done be sure to hit save changes. I hope this helps you get started. I do everything on my phone so it might look a little bit different if you’re on a computer. Good luck and go blue.

cdavis thanks I’ll try. I’m on my phone also so I know what you mean. FYI I’m headed to my metal workshop and no WiFi coverage so I’ll be out of pocket for awhile.
Tommy B I know all about it I have a metal shop I spend alot of time in with no signal. Have a great day.

Hi Tommy, welcome to the community.Not sure about joining groups from a phone, but from a pc you would start by clicking on the Users tap at the top of the screen, then select “groups”. Click the group you want to join and then select " join group".
The screen shot below should give you and idea how to start. I imagine the procedure is similar from a phone.

Tommy B welcome to the community! Lots of good people in here and lots of knowledge. Also lots of fun banter. If you like cracked pepper maybe try these casings for your summer sausage.
