Just an FYI if anyone is looking for a deal on summer sausage making kits Sportsmans Warehouse has them on sale for 15 bucks. Includes seasonings and casings enough for 30 lbs of meat. A bunch of our family bought muzzy deer tags this year and in the last 2 weeks have plowed a lot of BT's so we are getting ready to make a ton into summer sausage and this was the best deal we could find. If you order $50 they ship it for free. We have used this before and it turns out great. I know everyone has their own recipe but we use these and tweak them for our taste.
