    Stuffing tube size question

    I'm not sure. I was on walton's website and they have a graph that shows you what size tube you need for the casings. I was just going off what they had listed. I currently have 1/2" OD tube but I thought this would be to big for the 16mm casings...

    Stuffing tube size question

    I usually use the 21mm casings for snack sticks. However, I want to try a small diameter stix. I plan to use 10mm stuffing tube with 18mm collagen casings with my 5lb. vertical hand crank stuffer from Cabelas. Anyone use this set up? tube/casings size and any problems with it? I just wonder if...

    Is it okay to freeze 3 times?

    Good point... I guess cleaning the grinder an extra time or two isn't so bad. Thanks

    Is it okay to freeze 3 times?

    I have always froze my wild game until ready to make sausage. Then partially thaw it out and grind with pork butt. Make summer sausage and re-freeze in vacuum packs. I have a lot of meat this year and was trying to save time and the mess. Could I grind all the meat I have mix with pork make a...

    caseless vs cased snack sticks

    Do you add fat with your meat when doing caseless sticks? I usually do 60/40 goose to pork. My concern would be the fat would just melt out of them even if I keep the smoker below 170. Would it be better to use the dehydrator?

    Ghost pepper snack stick anyone?

    Thanks. That is a good point. I have had some Ghost Pepper sticks from a store near Lake Erie before and they were outstanding. I have been trying to make my own but not sure what flavor to get. I have also had the tex mex and that was pretty good.

    Goose sticks

    Do these turn out good? I have tried making sticks 5 different times and I cannot find anything I like. I usually make summer sausage out of my geese which turns out good. I just wanted to go a slim jim type snack stick. Though about just shooting them out of a jerky shooter and dehydrating them.

    Replacing hose/regulator/valve Help

    Update... So I decided to take a part my smoker to see if I could give it a good cleaning in hopes that it would help with my issue and save some money. I ran a thin piece of wire in all the openings that have to do with the propane and cleaned everything up. I assembled everything back together...

    Replacing hose/regulator/valve Help

    I have a Landmann smoky mountain 34" vertical propane smoker. I can not get my temp to go higher than 145 degrees. No matter where I turn the dial high or low the flame stays the same. I contacted the company and they said replace the hose/regulator and it was going to cost $48. I think this is...

    A demonstration of creosote Part 1

    Thanks Wade... I guess my next question is would it make sense to just buy the AMNPS and don't worry about doing the mailbox mod or stick with the tube and do the mod? I don't get a chance to smoke a lot of meats but when I do I hate wasting the meat/time by getting that ashy/bitter flavor.
