    20# Cabela's stuffer for snack sticks?

    I have that stuffer and it will stuff sticks ok because of the two speed gears, but you will loose about 3# in tube and tub, but you can make patties out of that

    Canadian Bacon cure time with Pop's Brine

    I used Pop's Brine which calls for 1 TBS #1 Cure for each gallon of water. I put 4 gallons of water and 4 TBS #1 Cure in brining bucket and my two pork loins along with the other ingredients in Pop's recipe. How long will the two pork loins need to be in the brine for full cure--thanks in advance

    13 Days in POPS Brine

    13 days in Pops brine and cut a piece to test fry--it was a little to sweet and not enough salt. I cut the salt by 1/3 cup not to get it to salty, but I guess I should have put the full amount in it. Added the 1/3 cup of Kosher salt today in the brine and will put back in fridge for another 2-3...
