I agree there is virtually no way that you get your meat back. The smoke house is full with rack after rack of sausage. Their seasoning is perfect for me I just wasn’t crazy about not getting the meat back that I brought. That’s when I started making it ourselves. It’s as good or better than what i was paying for at the processer.

I think you can get casing at Cargill seasoning place in Opelousas.

Breaux's mart on moss in Lafayette has them as well depending on where you feel like driving.

Made 12 lbs of sausage with a stinky old boar. Came out pretty good. I'm getting better at the color being consistent. First batch I did was piebald

Going to try some smoked sausage this year, but I have a question. Do you have to use cure?

Biggest difference will be color. As long as your refrigerating correctly you should be ok, just a little less wiggle room

I dont know if you have to but the recipes I use call for it. Usually about a teaspoon of pink curing salt per 5lbs. It isnt expensive.

Please read up on this either in the books previously mentioned or go to SMOKING MEAT FORUM and look it up there. Botchalism is deadly.
I use cure in all the sausage I make smoked or fresh.

I always use cure. It’s cheap and will keep you from getting sick or worse. Be careful with it. A little bit goes a LONG way.
