I've long thought about getting a meat grinder to play with. Finally, I
bought one on eBay, and it arrived today. The thought is that I'd like
to try making some sausages like they have at County Line or Rudy's in
Austin. Never having made sausage before, I'd sure appreciate any
advice you all might have. Specifically, where do I get the casing, and
should I go for natural, artificial or cloth? Also, if you have any
recipes that might be like County Line's or Rudy's, that would be
appreciated as well.

I'm waiting for my Bradley smoker to arrive, so there's no hurry and I
have plenty of time to look around for recipes.

Go to www.NorthernTools.com and get their 100 buck grinder. It was 20
bucks cheaper 2 months ago. This one works!

Nonny,
If your grinder came with a manual, you should start there. Recipes
abound on the net, and Amazon is loaded with books on the subject, as
well as your local bookstore. Try Aidells book, for starters and great
results.

Casings can be found at most grocery stores. Lots of recipes for hill
country style sausages are also on the net.

Google is your friend.
