Shame about the footage, but I have no trouble believing it was delicious!

Thank you!
Nice Video. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸
Thanks!✌️
What size is your sausage stuffer? Im thinking of getting one
I have a 5 lb. stuffer. If I were buying a new stuffer I would pay close attention to the detail where the horn attaches to the main cylinder. You can tell by the different designs that some stuffers leave more meat behind in this area than others.
Well, i'm in SE London and pork back fat is hard enough to come by. Costs a nice few £ online.......i would probably faint how much it would cost me to get some Cougar and Bear meat! LOL Spice mix looked well tasty...can only imagine what the meat would taste like 😟 That fucking smoker! lmao....a ringer for 'Stephenson's Rocket' haha.....them sausages looked lovely coming out of it though 😋 I was kinda pleased you wasn't a fan of cougar/bear as i cant get it 😉 but surprised at carnivore/ vegan comparison! I would have naturally thought that a meat eater would be more tastier than a corn muncher.
You're not missing much by not being able to get bear or cougar, certainly not worth paying an arm and a leg for.
You do a fantastic job. Wish is was your neighbor.
Thanks!✌️
Man, love your content. I've had a similar experience with bear meat. Not my favorite. To the extent when I had the opportunity to harvest one I passed. But like the pork analogy, the meat is only as good as what is consumed in diet. A baited bear might not taste the same as a bear feeding on acorn and corn fields. Bravo for giving it a go.
I'm willing to give most things a try once!
Whats gamey taste like??? i hear this word a lot.
Hard to describe but I'll try. Earthy, musky, funky, with a little mineral/metallic undertone.
As a starting point, wild animals don't bathe. Any gamey flavor is multiplied the longer the carcass is out of refrigeration. A botched field dressing will add to this when the juice from entrails contaminates the meat. Every animal tastes different - think chicken vs beef. When harvesting game, the three most important things are shot placement (don't shoot through the guts), a clean field dressing, and getting it cold asap. In the worst case, "gamey" simply means spoilage or rancidity caused by improper care
Keto concentrate
🤣
good on you for eating what you kill… but no way would I eat tom
This was the first cougar I've eaten, it will probably be my last
How are you mitigating the risk of trichinosis in the carnivore's meat?
Extended deep freeze
Wonder about using a multi colour pepper medley. Like the recipe though and am saving to my to do list
That's not a hind leg, that's a front leg, in pretty rough shape. That's not gaminess you are trying to cut, that's spoilage. Good venison, although has it's own flavour, isn't "gamey".
I guess I've only ever eaten spoiled venison because it's always tasted a little gamey to me. Not necessarily in a bad way, but in a way that is benefited by the use of herbs.
Greg, what percent of sage would you add to a sausage?? Like a breakfast sausage??
That depends how many other herbs I'm using and how much I want the sage to stand out. Generally I'd say 0.1%-0.3% dried and up to 1% if fresh.
@@gourmetwoodsman thank you Greg. No other herbs, just salt, black and red pepper and sage. I love sage so I want it to stand out.
@@Meatdaddy58 I'm a Brit, sausage without sage is very reluctant for me.
Really like the pinch and the twist that you do and making the sausage links. Been forever since I had bear meat and it was way to greasy (memory correct). About ten years ago a friend gave me some lion meat. Again not all that great. Would love to find some deer or elk meat to enjoy though. Thank you for another fun and informative video!
Awesome! I've been thinking about making a wild turkey BEARlogna for some time now. I have to get that bear first, though!
BEARlogna 🤣 I love it! I'm thinking of calling the cougar & bear salami charCOUGARie
Not great sausages can make great soups, stews and gumbos.
I'm thinking gumbo because it is so smokey
Excellent video. It’s fitting that bear is the first sausage you made in this smoker since a bear broke your last smoker.
Sweet irony!
6:41 that’s a good looking meat heat you’ve got supervising the stuffing process. ✌🏻😂

Great tips cleaning out the farse! Love this channel and chudds
You did good but maybe you using smaller skins like the commercial sixe1
60mm
Walio you’re making everything in my body excited for your works of art Gratzi Walioz!!😊
Talk about a labor of love! As we gain much more experience this will be on our to do list. Purchased a smoker Friday. Now to figuring out and us getting a drying chamber going. Another great video Thanks!
That's awesome! I was into smoking meats for many years before I started getting into curing and drying meat.
@@gourmetwoodsman Been making "regular" sausage for a few years. Now we have a smoker and need to learn the curve on smoking meats and maybe cheeses. Once we locate or create a dry chamber we will be attempting to do our own curing and drying our own meats for sausages!
To make it easier to get the netting onto the meat, get yourself off-cuts of PVC downpipes in different diameters, 4, 6, and 8 inches or thereabouts. You only need a piece about 6 inches long of each. Find a pipe just big enough to fit the meat through. Put the netting around the outside of the pipe, pull it over on one end so it just closes the opening, then push the meat through from the other end. As you push, the meat drags the netting with it, so it wraps itself very neatly around the the muscle, without tearing the collagen sheet.
It’s great to see you enjoying the fruits of your labour. Great video, informative and with no annoying background music.
Nice work mate
Cheers!
Another excellent episode, Greg. Your channel is definitely one of my favorites for sausage and charcuterie.
Glad you enjoy the content. Keep watching and I'll try to keep making more.
Like your way very much. Very simple straightforward explanations and to the point without wasting time as soooo many other guys do .
Time ie valuable, I try to keep my content to the point. I'm glad you appreciate that. Thanks for the comment.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
🙄
Good video I am going to try it for myself thank you.
I'd love to hear thoughts after you make this.
Now that was a good easy sausage to make. We already have a great turkey to cook on Thursday. Now thinking and going to purchase 2-3 of the special cheapo turkeys and sticking them in the freezer for later sausage making. Appreciate the "recipe" that you leave. Need to learn how to transferring them to grams or tsps and so forth. Thank You for another fun and interesting video!
Turkey is an underrated protein when it comes to making sausage. It's got such a mild flavor on it's own that it's like a blank canvas for whatever flavors you want in your sausage. It's kinda like the tofu of sausage making proteins if you will.😂
@@gourmetwoodsman Looking at the video this morning and it was kind of like a palm to forehead. We have made sausage via chicken so why not turkey ......................................... HELLO! So now super cheap and going to purchase four and experiment over the next few months. Trying to take advantage of maybe a Black Friday deal or two. We have a Smokehouse Chef Metal sausage maker that attaches to our Pro Kitchenaid Mixer. Now thinking and getting a Hakka Brothers Vertical Sausage Stuffer then there is LEM too. Your thoughts/suggestions would be welcome. Could someone PLEASE tell us where the Super Thanks button is!!! Now and trying to find a good used refrigerator and attempting to make a good drying chamber. Sorry (almost) for the long reply!
@@aileensmith3062 A dedicated sausage stuffer will definitely up your sausage making game and improve the quality of your sausage. The friction created by stand mixer and meat grinder stuffer attachments creates heat that can smear fat. A dedicated stuffer will also make the whole experience more enjoyable as they are much easier to use than stuffer attachments. I haven't used enough different brands to have an opinion of one over another but I can tell you one detail I would pay attention to if (when) I were buying a new stuffer. Every stuffer will leave some meat behind in the area where the horn attaches to the cylinder. Different manufacturers have different details at this juncture. The stuffer I use leaves a fair amount of meat in the elbow at the bottom of the cylinder where the horn attaches. I have seen stuffers that seem to have a better, more low profile transition that would seem like they would leave less meat behind. This is one detail I would pay attention to. I have plans for a video early next year showing how I made my drying chamber out of a used refrigerator. Keep your eye out for that one if you haven't made a drying chamber yet. The button on the right with three dots next to the share button will give you a drop down menu that includes the Super Thanks option. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving!
Greg, I made this yesterday and it was awesome. This is my 3rd recipe that I have made off your channel and all 3 were great. I love the simplicity of the rub too and how you measure it. You're right, make extra because you will eat it quick. Oh, I added jalapenos to mine and smoked it all. Appreciate all your effort. Blueberry or cranberry sausage off a cheap turkey next. Gonna have to wait though, we are loaded up about to go fishing for a day or two.
I could eat Boudin every day and not have a problem with that. It's so well balanced. It's got your carbs, protein and veg all in a flavor packed snack, what's not to like about that? I'm glad you've been enjoying the recipes, thanks for commenting. Best of luck fishing, I hope you catch a bunch! Where are you fishing and what are you fishing for?

Hi temp cheese the best, the key hi temp.
It has its place but not always necessary
@ ok
Great recipe.
Thanks!
I made something similar not too long ago. I also added ginger, thyme, sage, allspice, a hint of cloves, garlic.powder, and some dehydrated onions in addition to what you used. They're pretty great.
That sounds delicious! Ground cloves would have been a great addition to mine.
I have been watching every video for the last six months. I figure it is about time to kick a super thanks your way. Thanks!
Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it. Glad you're enjoying my content!✌️
Love your channel, can't wait to try this one! Thanks!
Thank you! Much appreciated! I was surprised how much I liked this one since I usually don't get too excited by the sweeter sausages.✌️
I really like your channel. It’s neat to see all your techniques and flavoring suggestions.
Looks delicious, Greg! Great video, thank you.
You need some gravy to dip those in. Excellent video
Another excellent video! It looks delicious. Thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Cool concept, dude. Got the whole sha-bang in one nice package. Now all you need is a green bean casserole sausage...with deviled eggs...ok maybe not!
I've been experimenting with a Thanksgiving meal themed sausage but I haven't got it dialed in where I want it yet
This smoked andouille is my favorite so far Greg, it turned out great. I mean GREAT!!
It’s called. Sin U not soon ya you’re driving me crazy
forvo.com/word/sugna/
Alright Greg, another hit!!! This andouille is excellent too. Ground fat once thru 10 mm chili plate. I ground the lean meat thru the same plate twice. Cut the salt back to 1.25% while adding cure at .25% bringing total salt to 1.5% I also cut the thyme back to 1% but wish I would have kept it at 2% I don't eat a lot of thyme, so I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. Girlfriend says it is a little spicy for her taste, but it is perfect for mine. This is just with the patties I just fried up. The links are in the smoker with a fan on them drying the casing out before I smoke them. Thank you again for what you do. I'm very pleased with the outcome so far. Time to clean up the mess now. lol
Glad to hear that! Now you're ready to make some gumbo😋✌️
I checked one of the English sausage text books for chips. 23lbs including dry rusk/bread crumbs and water calls for 6 oz salt or pretty much 1.5% salt.
1.5% salt is what I use in almost all of my sausages
As an additional measure, after cleaning off the mold with vinegar, you can brush the meat with a 5 % potassium sorbate solution (5 g in 100 ml of water). This is very effective at suppressing mold. The same thing works if you want to cure something without growing mold in the first place. The potassium sorbate prevents mold spores that are floating around in the curing chamber from establishing themselves.
Thanks for the tip!
Alright Greg, I made this sausage today and said I was going to let my girlfriend try it first before I did. I fried 4 small patties. She took her first bite and said, MMM and started shaking her head yes. lol I ate some and am in agreement with her. Excellent sausage. I cut the salt back to 1.5 % and that is the only thing I changed. It looked like there was going to be too much seasoning, but Greg, that flavor was is on point. Thank you so much for the time you put in to making these recipes and putting them on UA-cam. Tomorrow will be Andouille. I have a SmokinTex smoker and I'm going to dry the sausage and pour the smoke to it after it develops a pellicle. I'll give you a report when it's done. Thanks again.
Awsome! I'm glad you liked the recipe. Keep in mind that Andouille is usually used in cajun and creole dishes and not typically eaten as a stand alone sausage, it's a bit bold to eat on it's own.
