Made a 5# batch if the pepperoni and a 10# batch of the pepper sticks. Used 18mm clear collagen casings, and 75/25% ground beef (80/20) and home ground pork butt.

Ground the pork (slightly frozen) and mixed the pre ground beef with the mix and cure from Spokane Spice into three five pound batches:

Hey there fellow Minnesotan!!! You are doing a great job, and I'll be waiting for the finish like the rest.  I've got to head over to the Resturant Depot.  Not that far from Andover.  Those are some good prices on those items.  Reinhard

Both probes are in the heating chamber.

I'll add one or two to the meat in a while.
