Is the poking of the case to remove air pockets? I've read for weeks on summer sausage here and don't remember anyone explaining a process of poking the cases? Just when I think I've got the process figured out I get lost........
Maybe my question is a little miss leading, I'm planning on making some summer sausage using 2 1/2 x 18" casings.. That part I know, just wondering which type of casing people prefer. Also with Fibrous casing I see the supply stores sell a little spike tool to pierce the fibrous casing, is this...
I understand that the thinner the wall the easier it is to push the meat through, I was worried of going to thin that the tube would be easier to bend when bumped or hit with something. Murphy hangs around me allot and I can just picture being in the middle of making snack sticks, and bending...
It made me kinda leary as well, I did extensive reading on here from others that have used it. It seems that if you use hardood ply and the hardwood side is facing in toward the smoke chamber that you gtg, I intend on collecting enough metal to do the inside of mine one day, but used the...
Hi all
Getting ready to make some Venison Summer Sausage and snack sticks, was wondering which casings you guys prefer, Collagen or fibrous casings, what are the pros and cons between the two? Just wondering as I'm trying to put my list together for an order here shortly to get going.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a guide series 15lb stuffer, and from research here I see the FDick 3/8 tube from Butcher Packer fits. Unfortunately they have been out of stock for a few weeks now. I have the means of making my own out of stainless steel tubing, but have a few questions for anyone that already...
The handle actually came with the 2 way gate latch, I didn't want to put a painted product of unknown material inside the smoke chamber out of fear of making people sick. I used the latches because each of them has a hold down power of 500 lbs and I was hoping that would help keep a tight seal...
Construction finished. Got to get a burner in it. I'm working on a turkey fryer burner I've got lying around, but when I fired it up yesterday it wasn't burning very efficiently. I may try the burner pops put in his smokehouse if I cant get this one to burn correctly. I also thought about...
Does anyone run multiple wireless thermometers and experience any issues with interference between them? My smokehouse is almost finished and ready for some testing, once i get it lined out and get a Summer Sausage recipe picked out my hunting buddy and I will be running our recent Deer harvest...
Here are some mods I done to the fire pan. I smoked some ABTs and a fattie this morning, held a steady temp between 220 - 250 the whole time, I might lower the charcaol grate down a little, as I had to add too it after 1hr 45min to get the temp back up. I may just try some RO lump next time to...
