Good website.

I will admit we compensated a willing butcher to loan us his facilities.
Two "shares", which was 50 lbs. of finished sausages. The butcher
loaned us use of his VW-sized meat grinder and his 100lb "hydraulic"
sausage stuffer.

I got it all on VHS tape, except the smoking part, but I payed
attention. I've tasted similar products from refrigerators.

Cold smoking is easy, Jes "smoke it" in the Winter.
