    Snack sticks on an Enterprise sausage press

    That's what I use. Its plenty strong even for the small snack stick tube. I recently made an adapter so I can use a ratchet on it and it is so much easier on my arm. No more cranking.

    Easy-crank sausage stuffer

    To anyone having trouble cranking their sausage stuffer, I made an "adapter" that bolts onto my stuffer that I can use a 1/2" ratchet on. So much easier than using a crank. I'm sure other peoples stuffers (and arms) would benefit from something like this also.

So earlier today I rubbed some olive oil under the skins of some thighs. Sprinkled honey bbq rub on. Popped them in the smoker at 275° until IT hit 180°. Was...

    I need help wiring in my new electric forced air furnace...

    I suggest you go visit your local HVAC tech guy and give him all the specs of the furnace. He should be able to help you figure it out. Plus he will have the type of thermostat and relays you need.

    I need help wiring in my new electric forced air furnace...

    Looks like you have a 2-speed motor. (Hi/low). You will probably need to install a relay to switch the speeds.

    Smoked Kielbasa - Rendered fat under skin/casing? Sausage newbie (Updated thread title)

    I believe the sausage should be in a plastic bag. Water shouldn't be touching the sausage.
