Sausage Smoking Party!

Ever since Janell, my friend from work, got a smoker for Christmas, we've been planning a Sausage Smoking day. Finally, on the 20th, I packed up my smoker and spices and hauled everything to Stayton where we made sausages all morning, then partied in the afternoon!
Here's the Kitchen Aid mixer with it's grinding attachment...

The spices all weighed out and ready...

Janell pre-grinding the meat...

Me mixing away on a batch of English Bangers..

Here we are finally stuffing the meat into pork casings...

The finished links. We definitely got better as we went along.

And here are the finished sausages after about three hours of smoking! They were smoky, juicy, and delicious! After the word got out at work that the party was a success, there were many requests for a second sausage party day!
