I run an old Chop-Rite #10 hand-cranked grinder. I've made sausage but I haven't put it in casings yet, it's just bulk. You can chop up a few pods and run them through with the meat, I've done that with beef and jalapeno. _________________________________________________________________ More photos, more messages, more storage—get 2GB with Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_mini_2G_0507
