I've heard ECA can not be put in the meat until you are almost ready to smoke it. I was about to add this seasoning to my meat when I noticed it has citric acid in it. I'm not smoking the meat right now...it will probably early Saturday morning before I do. Is this the same ECA that can give...
I called them. They did not give me cure #1 and said I could not use what they gave me for sausage. They said they had the cure I needed, but it was not pink?? I was informed the ratio of the cure/meat I needed was 1 oz to 25 lbs of meat, which is the correct ratio for cure # 1. But...

I have 5-6 lbs of venison thawing right now. What other type of meat should I add to it and how much? I've read some people adding beef, others adding pork, and then some using straight venison. Thanks for the help
Can you tell what kind these are? I have a dozen of them. They look like non edible collagen from the pictures I saw online, but I could be completely wrong.
I'm trying to make summer sausage. I'll pictch those casings and look into some hog casings. I apparently need to research casings...seems so confusing
