Witt, you ole dawg, it's great to see the whole fam damily getting involved. My 5 year old get angry when she can't assist. The links look tasty.

Wittdog they look great. Big Wheels Hot Links are a favorite around my house. We love the way they cook up. Although I thought they would be hotter then what they were they are great.

The pics are great. Its great to have little ones help out. My neice loves to help whenever I am doing anything.

BTW what beer did you use? I used a Canadian Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale and the flavor was fantastic.

Very impressive Wittdog, good pictures and great helpers by the looks of it. All I have here is a cat (Roger) that looks on expectantly when I'm making sausages!

Thankyou for posting the picture of the sausage stuffer, it has solved a problem for me as I didn't want to screw mine onto a stand to stop it sliding about. Bench clamps are the obvious and simple answer, I should have thought of it myself.

We are into the hotlinks here now, I make them with Guiness which makes for a darker sausage, but a good flavour.

Cheers

Next time I'll be using Guiness if I can keep any in the house... :D I use Guiness when I BBQ a brisket and when I make chilli..The bench clamps work well..you can place a small piece of wood between the clamp and the bottom of you table..and get some of that non-skid matting to go under the stuffer..

The old ad' used to say 'Guiness is good for you', well any excuse will do I reckon! Seriously though, the flavour does come across in the hot links.
More good tips about the non slip matting,

Thanks Wittdog
