Making some sausage this weekend. Going to try a few of these recipes. Last second decided to try hotdog recipe also. Have all spices and cure but don't have erythorbate nor know where to even find it other than online which is too late for this weekend. Is it necessary for other than preserving color and speeding the cure? Is there a substitute?

If you are having problems with your grinder gumming up use ice instead of water to keep the blades cold.
Afm14,
You don't need it, just don't be weirded out if your hot dogs turn a little brown on the inside instead of completely pink while in the freezer. That's all erythorbate does.
But there are substitutes, like citric acid (sometimes used in fermented sausages).

Made about 10 pounds each of bratwurst, andouille, jalapeño/cheese, salami and chorizo this weekend. I'm with TXFireFighter. Using the grinder to stuff really sucks. Won't do that again. I didn't even try the hotdogs after all because it would have taken forever to stuff with grinder. All the sausage turned out great. Even my wife that doesn't like venison loved all the sausage. Thanks for the recipes and info. I did notice on recipe for andouille it has cure listed twice with different amounts

Picked this one up and it works great! Best price I could find also.
If you want to step up your sausage making operation but don't need a massive machine taking up space and power in your kitchen, the Backyard Pro Butcher Series SS-5V 5 lb. vertical manual sausage stuffer is for you! Whether you're making kielbasa, chorizo, or bratwurst, this stuffer has what it takes to give you consistent links or ropes of sausage.
Simple to use, a cranking mechanism lowers a plunger that forces the meat through the stuffing tubes into the sausage casing. A piston with stainless steel air-release valve let's air escape while stuffing to ensure you get a perfectly packed sausage. Included with this stuffer is 1/2", 3/4", and 1" plastic tubes. There are holes in the base of the unit for mounting to the work surface (hardware sold separately).
An aluminum gear-box, steel bar frame, and stainless steel base are durable and hold up well to heavy use. The canister can hold up to 5 lb. of meat and is also able to be slid out free of the machine for easier filling and cleaning.
Overall Dimensions:
Width: 9 1/2"
Depth (with handle and tube): 18 3/4"
Height: 15 3/4"

I had concerns about the plastic gears holding up. Have you had it long?
