    Mixer for the meat

    It's a spare mixer she has and I can convince her I will get it out of the way so she can have more baking room If it will mix sausage it will be a win on both fronts If not it will just be in storage

    Mixer for the meat

    Innovation That's what's this forum brings out. My wife owns a bakery and has a large mixer that she doesn't use that I will try. This thing is large floor model with a bowl bigger than a 5 gallon bucket. Now I just got to get it moved to the cave at the house

    Mixer for the meat

    I have thought of the drywall mixer and drill and it ballooned into a complicated project that involved a drillpress and holding fixtures . I am a tool & die machinist by trade and usually find it cheaper and easier to just purchase a good product. I will revisit this idea and not try to over...

    Dry and tuff casings after smoke

    Makes sense now So I will mix the spice and cure the night before and then stuff and smoke the next day on the next ones It's cheep to experiment when pork butts are .98 cents a pound and they sure have to be bad not to eat

    Dry and tuff casings after smoke

    cold smoke fire box thoughts

    I have no doubt about the mail box mod and the Am AMNPS but I was just trying to use what I had on hand which was almost an unlimited supply of wood chips . Would the AMNPS work with wood chips ?
