My wife bought me a Cabelas jerky canon for my B-day. What size casings can I use on the snack stick nozzle. Or would I be better off buying the 3/8" nozzle from LEM. I would like to make snacksticks with a casing what is my best approach.
I used 19mm callogen casings with my Cabela's jerky canon and didn't have any issues. They're a little more flexible when you soak them in a bowl of water first, but you don't have to. Just personal preference. The snack sticks turned out real good.
You might see yourself moving up to a sausage stuffer or meat grinder to stuff your casings in the future if you make this a hobby. I just recently upgraded to a Cabela's Pro meat grinder for $120 which grinds up the meat and has sausage stuffer tubes to attach. Much easier than using the canon, but the canon is still a great tool. Again, all up to personal preference.
