    Venison snack sticks w/ QVIEW

    Hint ,hint stick to what is proven. The gun is made to use ground which is scrapes. I used mine once and now it sits, brand new with the spice pack. If I have scraps it's turned into burger or sausage. i make my jerky from clean sliced muscle.

    Venison Sausage Consult

    Sorry to hear it was gamey. Hopefully it was only 1 piece and not the way it was handled. Or maybe venison is not your forte'. If you have the equipment and ability you can un-case the meat, add the insta cure no.1,mix , and stuff into new casings and smoke as you like. The cure and smoke will...

    First attempt at sausage!! W/Q-view

    First off looks great. A frined gave me some that he shot and now I want to go. I never add more than 2 lbs of fat to 10 lbs of meat. 1 1/2 - 10 should do. Also soak your casings min 1 hour before stuffing and stuf a little fuller. If you had linked them , then that would have tightened and...

    What cut is Pork Chops ?

    I would go no more than 160* There is no fat and it[s a very lean pc that if over cooked would be a disaster. I'd rather have it slightly pink (150) than over done.165* If it's to pink for you you could always throw the individual slice on the grill for 30 sec. per side.

    Need tips on Lil Smokies

    I would smoke for 2hrs at 145-150 then finish off at 158-160 no more than that. Smoking at a lower temp too long will dry them out in my opinion. You could also smoke for a few hours and finish off in a steam bath or vac sealed and simmered in 160-5* water. for 20 min.

    kielbasa help

    Did you soak your casings long enough? I usually soak 1 hour. Also by stuffing them to their fullest helps make the casings less wrinkled and more tender. Also after the initial hour with the damper wide open I close it to 1/4 open for the duration. If your thermometers registered 200 in boiling...

    kielbasa links

    You can also just leave a little casing left on each side and tie the 2 ends together with a surgeons knot or 2 square knots to make rings and hang. Also just twist into desired links and hang as stated above.
