    What a painful experience, KitchenAid sausage stuffer, what a PITA, looking for suggestions.

    Is that tray full of yumminess a 5 pound batch? Or is it two 5pound batches? They look great. Cheers

    One part of the solution has been solved, I found a LEM 5 pound brand new in the box only 300 km away. I’ve sent payment and it should be mailed sometime in the next day or two. Thanks for the reminder of the water stuffer, I have all sorts of pipe around the property, I think I’ll try one of...

    Here you go. They hit 153 at about 11:30 so I shut it down and cracked the door open to cool, then promptly fell asleep. I put them in the fridge to bloom this morning and will try them after work today. Thanks for all the help. Cheers

    Well, that’s weird after I posted this message 4 other previous messages popped up so apologies for not commenting on those, but I think now also, a jerky cannon is in my future. Thanks for the suggestions. So just a final question, vertical versus horizontal pros cons. It seems all brands make...

    Starting my Snack Stick/sausage adventure, may need some guidance.

    2 1/2 hours in smoker is 150° stick IT 129°. This has become the norm with any new adventures for me in smoking and barbeque, we had a huge wind event this afternoon temperatures plummeted to 17°, all the PID tuning went out the window. However, I’m sitting next to the smoker babysitting it now...

    Thanks, This is a Hi Mountain SS kit so I'm not sure what they use for cure. I better play it safe and just do it in one go. From what I read start at 130* then bump 10* every hour until IT gets 151-154. Should put me about 10:30pm so not too late. Cheers

    Starting my Snack Stick/sausage adventure, may need some guidance.

    Tonight I am planning on smoking my first batch of SSs (all 6 of them) and am wondering if the smoke and cook has to occur concurrently or can I cool smoke, it's about 75* now, tonight, refrigerate then cook to temp tomorrow? I'm just not sure if I'll have time to do both tonight, it's 5:30pm...

    With all the feedback you fellows have given me I think I understand why I had such a problem with the KitchenAid. I didn’t properly chill meat the second time around after mixing, and I tried stuffing too much down the hole rather than plopping little balls in, plus the small diameter of the...

    What a painful experience, KitchenAid sausage stuffer, what a PITA, looking for suggestions.

    Too funny, I know I have one of those old cast-iron grinders that I’ve had for years and haven’t used, not sure where it is but should be able to find it within one or two weeks ha ha it’s the old clamp on the countertop big grinder with various plates and a few stuffing tubes, but I don’t think...

    I just did a quick search on this forum and there is quite a lot of info on dedicated stuffers, some good reading in the next few days. Thanks guys. Cheers

    This one? A little more than $100 here in Canada :emoji_astonished:. The stand mixer goes back to dough making duties, I see a dedicated stuffer arriving soon. I'll find a few options and ask you folks what you think, right now $300 is a little steep. Cheers Amazon LEM 5# PS yes, I will be...

    What a painful experience, KitchenAid sausage stuffer, what a PITA, looking for suggestions.

    I want to start making sausages and in particular snack sticks so I thought a nice easy way would be to start with kits, get the feel for it and go from there. I have the Hi Mountain snack stick kits and made a small 2lb batch, followed the directions to a T, and then came the stuffing. It took...

    That elusive TBS, how do you get it in your smoker?

    Tonight I finally have time to grill the pork blade steak I smoked the other night. It’s been raining here for the last three days. Crazy for July. Here’s a picture of the little fan I have set up on the top of my smoker, works very well. Cheers Fan Video

    That elusive TBS, how do you get it in your smoker?

    I made back ribs last night for my son last night, and tried two different smoke methods, one I started off with chips in the tray as intended with the smoker set for 275 then when they ran out after 45 minutes lol I stuffed the smoke tube in the toolbox and continue that for a few hours and was...

    Since this thread has meandered off to mostly talking smoke, I started another thread about elusive TBS so it's easier to find. cheers That elusive TBS

    That elusive TBS, how do you get it in your smoker?

    Thanks guys, I'm actually using the toolbox mod, mailbox but cheaper. I think I posted pics in my other thread linked above. Going to try ribs today, cold smoke first then maybe try the MES as intended, with the chip tray. I also found a good use for my Brinkman SnP. :emoji_laughing: A couple...

    That elusive TBS, how do you get it in your smoker?

    Yes, I can get lots of smoke, or very little smoke depending on which method I use, but nothing smells like the real wood chips or lumps I add to my charcoal smokers or offset stick burner. Thanks

    That elusive TBS, how do you get it in your smoker?

    I started a thread a few weeks ago when I first bought my Mes30 asking what was the best electric smoker for a PID, and that turned into a smoke discussion and I thought I should start a separate thread for how to get TBS or how do you get a good smelling, proper smoke in your electric smoker...
