Does anyone on the FDB dabble in making your own sausage?

I watched several YouTube clips on how to make Andouille and Boudin...thinking about making some tomorrow.

Seems easy and fun.

Would love to hear good recipes as well.

I've been making my own sausage and bacon for a few years now. Like the other poster said. get a good grinder and sausage stuffer. You can stuff with a grinder but I find it easier to use the stuffer. Nice thing about having a grinder is you can make your own ground beef for burgers, ...much better than store bought ground meat.
The Cabelas Carnivore Grinders are hard to beat. I had the Cabelas older .5hp for several years and it was great. I just sold it and got the 1 hp. Carnivor (overkill but what the hell...) .Personally I would stay away from Lem, customer service is lacking, but they sell a lot of them so... Weston Supply makes good grinders as well and .5 hp. is plenty for most folks.
I have a 5lb. stuffer and wish I had at least a 10/15lb. but a 5lb. will get you do. Lot's of places to get these. I don't care for Cabelas stuffers but as mentioned Buffalo Tools, Weston Supply are good choices and Amazon has several choices.
There are several web sites available, my go to is Smoking meat forum. Lot's of good interactive info. on there.
I get a lot of my sausage casings from Oak Grove Smoke House in Prairieville. Stay away from the homepak casings if you can. Good casing make stuffing much easier.
Good luck, have fun and enjoy!!

We make our own.

Cut your meat in strips as long as possible
Season it
Grind it
A stuffer is 100xs better than the meat grinder attachment
Pop a hole with an ice pic in the casing before you start filling it with meat
Get a foot control for the grinder, helps a ton.
Before you stuff all your mixture make a small patty and taste test it
