    It’s just fun, but you will notice that team blue gives the best advice, coincidence… no way!

      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 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.

                      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 I’d start with black pepper up to about 0.4% of the product weight (4 grams per 1 kg of meat). If you are using a seasoning blend as a base, I might even just suggest giving it the old eye test. Probably a bad example, but… I made mashed potatoes last night and I didn’t and never measure out how much black pepper I add in. I just add until it looks like I have a decent dispersion and coverage, and I’d probably do the same for meat if you already have a seasoning base. I think it would be hard to over do black pepper if you are looking for a heavier black pepper flavor and as you add just keep an eye on the visual appearance of how much is in there and the dispersion of it.

                                        Tommy B I’d start with black pepper up to about 0.4% of the product weight (4 grams per 1 kg of meat). If you are using a seasoning blend as a base, I might even just suggest giving it the old eye test. Probably a bad example, but… I made mashed potatoes last night and I didn’t and never measure out how much black pepper I add in. I just add until it looks like I have a decent dispersion and coverage, and I’d probably do the same for meat if you already have a seasoning base. I think it would be hard to over do black pepper if you are looking for a heavier black pepper flavor and as you add just keep an eye on the visual appearance of how much is in there and the dispersion of it.

                                          Tommy B at the top right of the screen you should see a little magnifying glass, click on it, then you can type in what you are searching for. Under the “IN” on the search page click the drop down arrow and change it to title and posts if it isn’t set that way. That will pull up any post with your search term in it.
