So....what kinds of seasoning packets do you use from Oak Grove? Do you smoke your sausage yourself? How much are seasoning packets? Casings?

TIA, I know I am asking a ton of questions.

We used our kitchenaid last year to process a whole deer. Worked just fine.

Sure it works. It's just small compared to the other. I use mine. I also have the pasta maker for it that works well too.

And I don't smoke my sausage so that's why I don't use curing salt.

Oak Grove has a few different seasonings and each pack is for 25 lbs and cost about 2.50 or so. I just like his plain sausage with sage but he has several.

Natural casings packed in salt for about 3 bucks too. You can do a whole deer and still have enough casings to resale and save.

oak grove seems to have fairly limited hours.8:30-4:30 m-f makes it tough to get to.

i think t-wayne's in gonzales processes deer.



I brought one there last week. Not only was it done in 2 days but I am very happy with the results. Will bring more their way. Wasn't a huge deer but I saved the backstrap and tenderloin then had them cut out 2 roasts and the rest was 1/2 ground meat (50/50) and the other 1/2 smoked sausage. $160. Ended up with 15 lbs of ground meat and probably 20 packs of sausage.

Martini, if you make a 25# batch of sausage with venison/pork/beef, how many pounds of each do you combine, what is the ratio? What cuts of pork and beef do you use?

Here's some smoked jap and cheddar sausage I did last year. Defrosted and popped it in the oven.

I normally buy the double packed pork butts and the double packed beef chuck roasts from Sams.

I guess about 12-13 pound deer, 8-9 lbs pork and 5 lbs beef including the fat. I weigh some but I eyeball too. It might end up 24 or 27 lbs. the seasoning is fine. Cube and freeze meat for about an hour before grinding. Keep it cold. Run bread through the grinder when done to get all the meat.

I've never added cheese or jalapeño but that looks good. I do like sage and I do like a lot of chopped green onions. I roast garlic and add along with crushed raw garlic to some. Crushed red pepper works good but I just can't take that much heat anymore.

Saw a few different brands of sausage stuffers on Amazon. All around $100-125 for the 5-7lb models. Any brand work better than others in this board's opinion?

Days in Watson.

They make awesome jap/cheddar sausage and deer burritos. The burritos are fantastic for a quick meal. Pretty reasonable too.
