This is part of the 20 pounds i'm doing for a friend. He wanted some smoked polish kielbasa. 

Soaking natural hog casing. They have been rinsed inside and out from all salt. Soaking in cold water with 2 Tbs vinegar added.

Got some chores to do before i get mixed and stuffed. Casings need a couple hours soak anyways.
 
LOL---I didn't think all 3 of you NEPAS were working on that one batch of Lebanon Bologna!

Lets heat that Howitzer up a bit!!!!

Pushing the ram in. The back valve and drain valve must be open for the ram to go back.

Time to stuff. With any stuffer using natural casings, Dont tie the end off until you have the casing on the tube all the way.

After stuffing there is minimal meat left on the end of the ram and in the tube. Fry it up or toss it.
