Roll Call (Start Here First)

Ryan here from northern Minnesota. I have been processing my own meat for around 8-10 years now and I love it. I have done polish, meat sticks, breakfast sausage, summer sausage, potato sausage, bratwurst. I also love smoking meat. My favorite thing that I have smoked was a prime rib. Turned out better than any prime rib I’ve ever had in any restaurant. A little nerve racking though with an expensive cut of meat. You can’t go wrong when you cook low and slow. Its the only way to go! Cheers.

dennishoddy checking in. I’m an outdoor fanatic, and past competition BBQ cook off competitor. Sold the big wood smoker, and use a cookshack now for convenience.
Been using Waltons Hi Temp Cheese and casings for deer sausage. Looking for more recipes to try. -
I’ve been making both ground and muscle meat jerky for many years. This is is the first time I’ve used Waltons seasoning and looking forward to some of their flavors i. e. Bloody Mary
I want to share a proven process that works great for me. I’ve use various seasoning suppliers and none recommend this step.
After I season the raw meat (dry no water), I vaccume pack the seasoned meat and store in refrigerator for a minimum of 3 weeks.
Then I smoke/dry as recommended.
The flavor is so much better distributed through the meat. -

Big Mike here from SE Washington. Avid hunter for decades and meat processor for the last 3 years. I kill/process several deer and elk each year making a lot of jerky and sausage. I use a Traeger BBQ and will soon purchase an A-maze-N tube for cold smoking. I’m always mining for new information and recipes!

This is Clay from NC and I just ordered my first grinder from Walton’s, a Weston Pro #12. I hunt deer and have gotten tired of paying to processor to grind the deer that I don’t cut into roasts myself so I took the leap into home grinding. I also help my church make about 600lbs of sausage twice a year and I know the addition of my grinder will speed up the process. Sometime soon I’ll be building my smokehouse to broaden my sausage making skills to include smoked sausage along with the many other varieties. Once I get rolling good I hope that this site can help with any questions that I have.

Andrew from central Arizona. I am an avid big game hunter and process my own. I grill year round and just started smoking meat and cheese. I recently found Walton’s and purchased seasonings and casings for 100 lbs of breakfast sausage, 100 lbs of bratwurst, and 50 lbs of snack sticks. Both the breakfast sausage and brats were delicious. The snack sticks will be completed later this month. I am looking forward to reading and sharing.
