Trying to "GO LEAN" and still have my sausage.... Mixed results....I used 4# lean beef & 1# lean pork. Not too bad, but definately missing the pork fat, but still nice to grab one & throw on the grill for "finger food" during the game. I smoked 1 @ about 260* for an hour or so with Hickory that was better than the grilled one.

Now I use strictly pork butts. I roughly estimate a 80/20 ratio just from the fat in the butt. Its also the way I make breakfast sausage and you will have to add oil to fry it patty forms. I would try that your next batch and see what you think. Also I will add extra seasonings to kick up the flavor a little more. Say if I make a 7 lb batch I use a 10 lb ratio of seasonings but only a 7 lbs on the cure side. I was using Hi Mountain Brat kit and it was always to salty then I realized I was adding to much of there cure. For right now I suggest keeping a log of what your doing so when ya make changes you can follow the process. I also use people for taste testers and get there opinions til I find my happy medium.If You Can Not Stand Behind Our Troops,

Chicken Brat's would probably ROCK....... I just got done linking some chicken sausage with roasted red peppers, onion, garlic, basil, salt, lemon pepper & lemon zest. inspired by T-H's WORLD FAMOUS Chicken & Sun Dried tomatoe sausage. I put a link on the grill about an hour ago & it Kicks Ass!... Loved it....... I have 4 in the MES right now that will be ready in about 1/2 an hour. I used thighs, breasts & some lean ground pork. I will try to post about it later. Loved it on the grill, not dry at all, really juicy!sigpic
