I bought some of these to stuff and use for Christmas presents.
I made a batch of summer sausage, the same one that I always make.
Used the same method and times for soaking and stuffing.
These were 12" casings, so I stuffed with 1-1/4 pounds of meat mix.
After cooking, the casings did not stick...
I use store bought all of the time. Make sure you get either 80/20 or 85/15.
The cheap stuff has too much fat in it. I think it's 73/27.
Good luck, take pics and don't forget the Cure #1.
Sound1, I'm sending a box to a Chaplain in Quatar (sp?)
A Priority Mail @ 20 pounds is $40. Parcel Post is $20
The Chaplain told me that after it hits the military PO, it don't make any difference.
Save your money and send it PP. It will take 10-14 days regardless.
You are right on the pork...
Here's the one I use and like.
I don't remember where I got the original recipe from and what I changed/added.
It should work with pork butts. Just keep your fat content to around 20%.
I've also used it with venison (70/30 venison/pork butt)
Jarhead's Hot Peppered Snack Sticks
10 lbs Ground...
I like this one. Adjust garlic and heat to your pref. Maybe some white pepper if you want the after glow.
Start cooker at a low temp and gradually increase til you hit 170F.
Sticks are done at 154F IT.
Ice water bath and hang to dry.
I just made this as summer sausage in 2-1/2" x 18"...
Best bet is check with your county/city HD. They have the final say.
Here in MO, I used a DPP Fat-50 with no problems. Only thing was temp control before and after cooking.
