    Another ECA ?

    Hello all, So I’m finally going to try adding ECA to some snack sticks problem is I cannot remember when I bought it.

    Hey CS I used mine 2 days straight for a total of about 13 hours and it looks like I just took it out of the box. If I were you I would contact either bass pro or masterbuilt and see what they will do.

    Meat mixer ?

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all !!! I have a question about encapsulated citric acid and powered meat mixers. I am getting ready to try ECA in some pepperoni sticks and I’m not sure if I can mix it into the meat with the mixer attached to my grinder or if I should mix it by hand.

    I just got the same one, been using it for two days now and I love it. The element and vent are on the same side but I’ve been using my A-MAZE-N 12” tube placed on the other side with no problems at all. I am looking into the square version because the tube is a little too big

    I took a shot at getting some 17mm mahogany collagen casings and a 3/8 tube from smokehouse chef. Just as I suspected my cabelas 11# stuffer can’t budge it.Anybody have any ideas, I tried spraying the tube a still no dice, I was going to try my jerky blaster but I’m afraid it will break.

We are having about 30-40 people so I figure 3 - 8 to 10 pound butts should be plenty, if I can find 3 that big. I want to do a...
