  tim cahill Be careful when you are grinding mixing and then holding before stuffing. The meat can start to “set up” and that can damage your stuffer when trying to stuff. Now, with a larger diameter sausage like a Bratwurst it is probably less of an issue but it still might hurt your stuffer.

  Meatgistics Podcast: Back Country Hunters & Anglers Each week, Jon and Austin break out and critique a new beer and different sausage while they discuss everything about meat. Follow along as they talk about their favorite recipes and share some of the best expert tips and tricks for making sausage and jerky. Stay up to date on the latest news and current trends in the meat industry as Jon and Austin explore everything related to meat and more. BHA Statement Kansas BHA members value the freedom to hunt, fish, watch birds, trap, hike, camp, and engage in other outdoor pursuits. But as Aldo Leopold stated in A Sand County Almanac, “of what avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?” Kansas has very few ‘blank spots’ and has been required to be creative in making any ‘spot’ remotely close to ‘blank’. Our mission is to protect and preserve the few public lands and waters we have within our borders, open access to new public lands, and endeavor to find new ways to create ‘spots’ that have some feeling of ‘blank’. Because of the lack of public lands, most Kansans feel no connection to public lands or wild places. Therefore, our long-term mission is to raise awareness and educate Kansans of the benefits and necessity of public and wild places. Meat Matters For the entirety of this podcast, we had the pleasure of talking to Kurt Ratzlaff with the Kansas Chapter of Back Country Hunters and Anglers (BHA). Walton’s and BHA have been working together to get more people physically involved with the outdoors, whether through hunting or meet-ups where volunteers get together and clean up a wild area. Kurt and Jon discussed one aspect of the Great American Outdoor acts that Jon was concerned with, the permanent funding of the Land, Water Conservation Fund LWCF. For some background information the Federal Government already controls 28% of the land in the USA, and the goal of the LWCF is to continue to buy and preserve that land. Jon watched https://youtu.be/LYnpBrAcsZg where it was argued that the LWCF should work to clear the backlog of the deferred maintenance on National Parks instead of buying new land. Kurt provided some good information in showing that Show Links Kansas BHA - https://www.backcountryhunters.org/kansas_bha Great American Outdoor Act - https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/3422 Land Water Conservation Fun - https://www.lwcfcoalition.com/ Watch Meatgistics Podcast: Back Country Hunters & Anglers

  I’ve been fortunate enough to be a member of a number of online communities, and this one rapidly has become an important one. It really does make a difference when a business is interested in getting to know its customers. Y’all want interaction beyond just orders, and you like to see your customers interact with each other. Not only do you want to teach your customers, you also want to learn from them, and you want them to learn from each other. It’s a wonderful thing, and it takes a genuine effort. I echo Chef’s words that y’all are doing something right. This community is another example of how Walton’s wants to provide for its customers, how y’all want us to have the best experience we can, and how y’all know that works to everyone’s benefit on every level. Bravo! All I wanted to do was make sausage!

  dudeweembo To say we are excited for these grinders is a vast understatement! First, having any 22 or 32 grinders will be great but with these changes we really think we’re going to be selling a great product!

  jramey I haven’t every noticed a difference other than a cold-smoked one might have a strong smoke flavor as it has generally spent a few days being smoked. There are some purists though who would insist that they can absolutely tell the difference and they might be right. My pallet just isn’t that sophisticated I guess!
