The Sausage Maker’s Summer Sausage Seasoning 2lbs 8oz delivers the perfect balance of salt, pepper, mustard seed, and spices to help you make old-school, tangy summer sausage at home. Whether you're working with venison, pork, beef, or wild game, this seasoning is reliable, flavorful, and easy to use.
Contains salt, dextrose, pepper, mustard, coriander, garlic powder, fermento (cultured whey protein concentrate, cultured skim milk), and other spices. It's mixed without silicone dioxide, so if it cakes up, just break it apart—it's still good to go.

Directions: Grind venison using a 3/16″ plate and pork fat with a 3/4″ plate. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a meat mixer or tub. Stuff the sausage mixture into casings.

How much sausage can I make with one container?
This 2 lb. 8 oz. container will season up to 50 lbs. of meat when used as directed.
Is this seasoning compatible with wild game like venison?
Yes, it works exceptionally well with venison, wild boar, or elk—just mix with pork for added fat and flavor.
Do I need to add Insta Cure™ #1?
Yes, since this is a smoked sausage seasoning, you must add curing salt (Insta Cure™ #1) for safety and preservation.
What kind of casing should I use?
We recommend fibrous casings in 61mm size or beef middle casings for best results.
Can I skip the smoking process?
Smoking is part of the traditional flavor and preservation method, but if you skip it, make sure you fully cook and refrigerate immediately.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
