Hi from central Nebraska. Got my Traeger over 20 years ago and have cooked most everything on it. Just this year, I got into processing snack sticks and sausage from our deer, and found great seasonings at Waltons. For me it has been a great way to spend time and bond with my kids, as they like to eat it so they help make it. I read a lot of information on here to learn how to make it before I joined. This is a great forum with so much information.
d-hock I’m late, but welcome.

Welcome to Meatgistics!
This is a great place to begin your posting in the Meatgistics community.
Let everyone know who you are, plus find out more about others.You only have to share what you feel comfortable with others knowing, but some ideas for your first post…
Where are you from (city/state)?
How much experience do you have in meat processing or smoking/grilling?
What is your favorite meat snack or seasoning flavor?
What is your current smoker or grill?
Other than that, have fun, and we are excited to have you apart of the Meatgistics community!
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.

2 1/2 oz garlic powder
3/4 T black pepper
3 oz mustard seed
25 oz water

I bought a 25# mixer that attaches to a #32 grinder. When following directions I noticed the meat should be mixed both directions at 1 minute interval for approx. 8 minutes. Ofcouse my grinder only turns one direction. Is it necessary to go both directions? If so the mixer did come with a handle but I was trying the easy way out?
