These seasonal brats from Johnsonville are worth your time to investigate. I threw a couple on the Traeger last night for some smoke, then over to the Weber gasser to grill.
Served them with currywurst and oh, boy!

Regarding currywurst sauce, I used this recipe:

This one also looks good and is very different from the first one:

I've not seen those at the store but don't often shop the meat isle. I will look for them next time I run to town.

That said, I have a horizontal sausage stuffer ordered and en route this week so I can ramp up making my own sausages, etc here.

Ann, that sausage stuffer will get an honest workout at your place, I am sure. I have long been an admirer of your degree of self-sufficiency.

I totally agree!

Ann, what make did you order? I assume it is electric. I have my old hand grinder for working it down by steps + mixture to sausage stuffing fare. I also have a hand crank 3 gallon cast iron casing stuffer, that was made in the early 1900s, still works just great; but then I have always been anachronistic, as you know. Learning to live this way in the early 70s was a realistic adventure into a charmed life + now it has become second nature. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents in my formative years + they were the epitome of self-sufficient country folks. An enviable trait.

This is the one I ordered. I think with a hand crank I will have more control on pressure and hopefully less breakage on casing. My goal will be natural casings for breakfast sausage, brats, smoked sausage, etc. For snack sticks I would use the ones you peel off.

I went with horizontal for simple physics. Straight line will be less friction, etc than a vertical with a curved tube. This is a medium size unit.

7 liter stuffer

Looks like a neat unit for a very fair price. That cast one of mine has the horizontal discharge + closely resembles a fruit press. But you need to be ready to make a LOT of sausage.

The stuffer has arrived. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be!

Of course, we'll need an image of it Ann.
