Cajun in da Carolinas
Awlright guys. If you are on my instrgram or Facebook, yall know I love to cook, smoke, grill, etc - If not, check me out as Bspitt1 on IG.
I know many of yall dont do facebook - and I dont like 90% of it either. However, I am a member of a facebook group called "Cold Smoking, Curing And Sausage Making". Its a good group with people from all over the world. Anyway - Ill keep this short.
I drove up to Blackstone, VA to take weekend long class from Todd T - The founder of the FB group. The class was amazing. He is offering more classes (even if you are not in the FB group). The weekend cost for me was $400 - I think most of his classes are about that price. Todd is a likeminded country guy that teaches the old school ways. He actually learned from the son of slaves in SC. I did not want to recommend his class here until I checked it out. Worth every penny. We made several types of sausage, snack sticks, cured a country ham (well started one anyway) and breakfast sausage. We ate most of what we made around a saturday nite bonefire. (with a few beers)
Todd is offering a Whole pig class in Oct - It will cover whole hog processing, curing, sausage making, etc - He also has a few door prizes - I won a LEM #5 Big Bite Grinder.
He also offers private classes - he may even do a class for CFF members only if we can get enough signed up. He is considering a deer processing class - He is retired (due to health reasons) from his own meat processing business.
The hospitably was great, the location was great (on his small farm) - He let me camp in the woods on his property. Most that came this past weekend stayed in nearby hotels. People drove from NYC, Louisiana, Mississippi, PA, WVa, OK, Indiana, NC - people are even flying in from overseas for future classes
Anyway - Join the FB group if you so please for more info - If you dont do FB and are still interested, send me a PM and I will get you in touch with Todd. Say tuned for pics! If you do join the FB group, let me know - He is pretty selective to whom gets in or not.
