    As an italian who actually does his own sausages let me give you a pro tip: know the difference between a Salsiccia(italian sausage, translated) and a Salame (dried out cured italian sausage) which are:
    -Fresh spices for sausages, dry ones for salami.
    -Ground the meat THIS MUCH (like in the video) only for curing meat like a salame, not for sausages. You can even do a napolitan style sausage without grinding the meat but instead only knife chopping it. It will result WAY more jucier. Like... A LOT more...
    -Chose your spices and meat cuts depending on the purpose of the product, the only 2 mandatory ingredients to call a sausage "italian" are black pepper and fennel seeds but for the rest... it's up to you! That's where the fun is! Why deny yourself the fun of making sweeter/hot spicy/aromatic sausages or a sanguinaccio(pork blood based sausages) or a fegatella(pork liver based italian sausage)? I mean... the limit is your imagination!
    The sacking tecquinque was spot on btw! The video is awesome man! Keep it up! :D

      here is a recipe for Italian sausage for every 10 pounds of coarse, ground pork butt, 3 ounces of salt, 1 ounce of black pepper, 2 tablespoons of ground fennel, 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper, quarter cup of chopped parsley. If you want to add cheese, you can add up to 10% combination of Romano and provolone. 6 to 8 ounces of cold water.

Not having anything close to your products available to me I either have to eyeball it, hoping it's close, or not make it at all, because I have no idea what's in it. So please, maybe you could give some alternative spice measurements, too? That would be very helpful. Thank you.

      It's quite a matter of taste and opinion but I would personally say about 200 to 250 degrees and yes you can grill the sausages after you smoke them.
      You can smoke the sausages one day and heat them over a flame a week later. And if you freeze them, you can store them for months.

    I didn't see any pink curing salt added. So it's important to keep the mix below 60 degrees if not colder. As soon as the mix spikes above 60 degrees Fahrenheit the bacteria growth will be exponential. That is why people put the pink salt in the mix to control the nasty bacteria that can hurt people.

    Thank you for mentioning fennel on the spice mix, right off the bat. Whether it's just Italian-American, or traditional home-world Italian, in The US, Italian Sausage (mild or hot) must have fennel. I live in a place where there's a small pizza chain that advertises a "homemade Italian Sausage" as one of their big selling points. And, the sausage has no fennel. It's a disgrace. Thankfully, they are slowly going out of business. Their pizza really sucks.
