Added some buckwheat flour to the mix. This should mellow the bourbon and cut down on some shrinkage.

Used my KC water stuffer, took like 4 mins cuz the tube i used is 1/2" and the length of collagen would not fit so i had to reload the stuffer tube 2x

Hanging no smoke for about an hour. Then i will hit the sticks with hickory smoke for 3 hours at 140.

I like your sticks and those collagen casings are a B****h to work with for me too. Now I will be willing to try yours. I have to made some for the wife about 15lbs at a time.

Tired of the nasty 73/27 GB. Hate the cavitation and excess fat in the meat so i'm sure there will be some i will cut off. Next time go to my normal grind.

Ahhhh i hate that grind.

The casings arent the problem for me. Its the 1/2 OD tube that wont go through the entire length of casing so i gotta pull the casing on the tube. Next time i will use the 7/16 or 3/8 tube. Is that a smoke vault i see glowing.

When i worked at Cabelas in the camping dept i bought one for $80 after my discount. Used it 3 times and a friend said hey i will give you $200 for it....SURE
 
Looking good NEPAS !

I'm waiting for the final pics too.

This week (in Macungie) we have 73/27 for $2.29, and 80/20 for $2.49. I just got 25 pounds of the 80/20 today---hoping to smoke on Saturday.
