LEM Grinder Broke - Great Customer Service
Yeah, I could see how it wouldn't be as convenient if you had to ship the product in. However, I believe you could still order parts and replace yourself. -
LEM Grinder Broke - Great Customer Service
So I started cutting up about 40 lbs of meat last night, which I will be using to make snack sticks and summer sausage this weekend. I got two pork butts cut up, and I get my LEM grinder out, only to find out that it must've broke when I was putting it away the last time I used it. The plastic... -
Issue with Snack Stick Casings
Thank you Dave. I just wanted to confirm. I want to make sure I don't get anyone sick. -
Issue with Snack Stick Casings
I've made 5 pound batches in the past, but I'm ramping up production this time. I'm thinking I will be doing about 10 pounds of snack sticks, and about 15 pounds of summer sausage this weekend. I did 5 pounds last time, and that made about 50 6 inch long snack sticks. Sounds like a lot, but... -
Issue with Snack Stick Casings
So what you're saying is I can cook to an IT of 140 and hold for an hour, rather than getting the meat all the way up to 158? I'm not planning to keep these out on the counter or anything, I would be keeping them in the freezer until I pull them out to eat them, and they would keep in the... -
Issue with Snack Stick Casings
Yeah, I meant NFDM lol. I've been smoking at 130 no smoke for an hour, then bumping up ten degrees every hour till I get to 180. I will throw the casings in the fridge, but when I've used them in the past I can feel the oil on my fingers, so I think they are okay. I think I'll try... -
Issue with Snack Stick Casings
I almost wonder if I didn't mix the meat enough. I watched some videos today that show mixing until the meat is super sticky. Also wondering if an extra binder like nfdm would help. I did not use that in the past. -
Issue with Snack Stick Casings
Sorry, I know better. Collagen casings, beef. I think the recipe I used was called Greg's Snack Sticks. I did water bath, and I let dry for an hour or so after, then put in brown paper bag in the fridge for a day before packaging. -
Issue with Snack Stick Casings
I've made a couple batches of snack sticks and I've noticed one issue with the casings. After I get done cooking and everything and go to eat them, it's like the casing isnt sticking to the meat, and will come loose. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm going to be making some next... -
Venison Pepperoni
I'm planning on having a big weekend next weekend. I am thinking I'm going to make these in snack stick form. I can't wait -
Cold weather smoking
What kind of smoker are you using? I live in Ohio and usually smoke year round. I don't know if it takes longer, but rather it may take more to keep your temps up. Depending on the type of smoker you are using, it could vary quite a bit- mkriet

Pork Loin
I haven't done a pork loin in awhile, but I think they only take a couple hours to do. I guess you'll know for next time. Just need to make sure not to over cook because the loin can dry out a lot like turkey. Some other things you might like to try: In the past I have injected one with apple... -
a maze n smoker questions
One of the advantage would be the length of time that the smoke lasts. I think the tray can put off smoke for something like 8-12 hours. It also makes it easy for cold smoking. I don't have the tray... yet, but I do have one of the tubes, and it works great. I asked for one of the trays for...- mkriet

What is the Difference Between Summer Sausage and Trail Bologna
Got it. I thought by the way they name them that they would have a totally different flavor. Sounds like it is just a different texture, and I would rather have summer sausage. Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm looking forward to getting the smokehouse fired up next weekend for this... -
What is the Difference Between Summer Sausage and Trail Bologna
Is there a noticeable difference in flavor or ingredients? Is there something that makes one SS and the other Trail Bologna? -
What is the Difference Between Summer Sausage and Trail Bologna
Hey guys, I've been in the mood to make some summer sausage lately, and while I've been researching for recipes, and seasoning kits, I've come across summer sausage, and trail bologna recipes and kits. I was curious if anyone might be able to tell me what the difference is between the two...
