Rebel sausage seasoning

Been seeing a lot of talk on this board lately about this stuff and decided to give it a try.
This will be my first time making sausage and i will be placing an order on their website so i am coming here to seek help on what to order. I am going to smoke it, so i'm guessing i should get the smoked sausage seasoning? Or do y'all recommend a better seasoning? I saw they have cajun or country sausage too.
I plan on getting the dehydrated green onions from them, it says to mix with water, never heard of that, should i do that?
Should i order their hog casings or get from somewhere else?

The Rebel smoked sausage seasoning is very good. Make sure add cure to it. I use an ounce of cure for every 25 lbs of meat.
I buy a hank of natural casing at the butcher. A hank will make approx 100 lbs of sausage.
The onions are dehydrated. That’s why you soak them first.

can you use fresh green onions instead?
seems like a no brainer to use fresh
we have an abundance of em that my wife grows...
just wondering if there was a good reason to use dehydrated vs fresh.

I don’t see why you couldn’t. Use what you like and see how it turns out.

I saw in another thread where someone mentioned they used fresh green onions but another poster recommended using dehydrated green onions because they hold up better when you freeze them.

I was always under the impression that water was not supposed to touch your meat, thats why im asking. Makes the meat turn a grayish color.

The water is for the green onions. They’re rehydrated separately before you add to the sausage.
I always added some cold water to the seasoning prior to adding to meat mixture. Just enough to help
It dissolve. I’ve never had the meat turn grey. Keep everything super cold while grinding etc.
I prefer the sausage seasoning like it is. I don’t add anything and it’s good for breakfast, jambalaya, gumbo, sausage dog etc.

they sell the seasoning with and without the cure mixed in...
I just get the feeling that it is better to buy it without and add the cure on your own.
Rebel sells a Prague powder cure seperately
I'm going to kill a couple flat heads for ground meat and sausage soon...the ground meat goes the fastest around my house. But interested in trying to smoke sausage in my electric smoker.
any recommendations on the best wood to use?
I think pecan would be a good choice, but if someones tried it and is terrible, I'd like some input on that

Pecan and hickory were pretty good. My favorite for sausage is the competition blend pellets from wal mart. It's a mix of hickory, pecan, and maple if I remember correctly. It is a more subtle smoke flavor that goes well with gumbo and such

what about casings? what should i use?

I use natural hog casings. They are cheap and last forever. It says you live in port allen, give bergeron's a call and see if they will sell you some. When I lived in Baton Rouge I bought them from Matherne's. Call around and see who has them. I now get them from Breaux's mart in Laffayette. 50 ft of casings costs about 3 bucks.

I use pecan or hickory. They both give a good flavor. Vines uses hickory if youve had their sausage.
I agree on buying seasoning with cure and adding it myself. A bag of pink salt will last a long time. I add one ounce per 25 lbs. I use a small digital scale to make sure everything is consistent. So far I haven’t had any issues.

Nope, ice water added meat while stuffing will help things go smooth. Won't hurt anything.

where to buy in baton rouge or nearby?

Sullivans in Clinton has the Rebel. I’ve been mixing it 50/50 with Bergeron’s sausage seasoning.
You can order the rebel on their website if you prefer that route.

Have used rebel for 25 years and have never wet it nor used the preservative BUT I only smoke enough that we can use in one year. The pan sausage seasoning is great as well

Vines in mcomb or the original location has it.

I made a batch of link sausage with the country sausage seasoning blend. It says enough for 50 lbs but I put the whole portion in a 25lb batch and I thought it came out great. I normally is Leggs brand sausage seasonings but the rebel stuff had a great flavor imo. I also use their bbq rub that’s good stuff too. The grocery store in Poplarville MS has it on the shelf normally.

Rebel makes Vines seasoning for their sausage as well.

Lol yeah I wanted to order some but wasn’t gonna be able to get it in time for the wknd I wanted.
Buddy of mine said he would just pick up some “vines” and we would use it.
Got it and looked at the pack and it was rebel.
First time I had ever used it but I liked vines and the sausage and summer sausage we smoked came out real good
