It is time for more beef sticks. I kinda fallowed Bearcarver's unstuffed smoked beef log recipe http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/103811/unstuffed-smoked-beef-logs-slightly-hot-bearcarver-qview

 I am using 8.5 lb of 80-20- ground check

Here is what I did

Day # 1
Mix the following:

#1 Mix

Tender Quick----------------------4.25 ounces)----Proper amount for 8.5 pounds of Ground Meat AS BEAR POINTED OUT MORTINS SAY'S USE 1/4 OZ OF TQ  FOR GROUND MEAT. WHICH WOULD BE 2 1/8TH OUNCE

Soy sauce---------------------------4 ounces

Ice Water----------------------------5 ounces

Stir this until TQ is dissolved, and put in fridge.

============================================================================

Then mix the following

#2 Mix

Black Pepper------------------------------------------------1 TBS

Home grown dried and crushed lemon pepper-----1 TBS  Please note this is not lemom and pepper. It is a breed of pepper. A simi hot pepper

Home grown driedCayenne Pepper-------------------1 TBS

Mustard Seed------------------------------------------------1 TBS

Fennel Seed (slightly crushed)--------------------------1 TBS

Italian Seasoning--------------------------------------------1 1/2 tsp

Garlic Powder------------------------------------------------1 tsp

Onion Powder------------------------------------------------1 tsp
==============================================================================

Any amounts of the ingredients above can change to suit your tastes, except the TQ

==============================================================================

Now spread your ground meat out in whatever you're going to mix it in.
Incorporate Mix # 1 with Mix #2 together, and pour it over all of your ground meat.

Now Mix & Mix & Mix & Mix & Mix, until you're sure it's mixed as well as possible.



The dry mix #2


Wet mix #1



I will be using the MES 40 with AMNPS. If you don't have a AMNPS you should!!!!!  I haven't desided what Pellets I will be using. (any thoughts?) I also haven't desided what size tube to use. I haven't desided if I will use casings Or go naked

More to come.

Happy smoken.

David, I don't think it will hurt you, but it may be salty.

It's a very common mistake.

The proper amount of TQ for 8.5 pounds of Ground meat would be 2 1/8 ounces.

1/2 ounce per pound of whole meat.

1/4 ounce per pound of ground meat.

Other than that, it all looks great !!!

I've always used 1/2 ounce even with ground. Maybe that's why I have high blood pressure.

I didn't realize I was out of crushed red pepper till I got started. That's why I'm using the lemon pepper. it is pretty spicie

Happy smoken.

Maybe its the crushed red pepper working on ya! Looking forward to seeing your results.
 
Into the LEM 5# with 3/8" tube


Tryed going naked. It wasn't showing me the love I wanted. It would have gone better with another set of hands.


I switched to LEM 19mm Mahogany colagen casings. I also added about 8 oz. of cold water. Made the stuffing go much better.


Still not sure which pellet I will use.

Into the project fridge for a nap.

More to come.

Happy smoken.
