    Colonoscopy Breakfast

    Great looking meal before the procedure but like Chopsaw stated when the bomb goes off remember that more bombs will follow ! Last time I did that I thought we were ready to make the trip to the hospital when a sudden urge hit me and we had to make a quick change of direction so I didn't bomb my...

    ELDONS PEPPER STICKS

    Thanks Indaswamp . I ran a small batch like this several months ago and it took 20 plus hours to get to 153.... And they were dried out bad. My smoker doesn't have an adjustable top vent so I took a piece of foil and made one. The temp went up like you said. I feel rescued now. Very confusing...

    ELDONS PEPPER STICKS

    Okay I have 10 hours of smoking and the IT was at 151 3 hours ago but now it's at 148 ? I layered the rolls of snack sticks on the racks inside my Smokintex 1460. This temp going backwards has me thinking ! Why would it take so long to cook such a small stick ?

    Snack Sticks

    I have 4 -3 pound chubs of 80/20 hamburger. Question is should I regrind this store bought burger for snack sticks or will it be okay to use as is? I really don't want to break out the grinder if it's not needed. 12 pounds of pepper sticks sounds good .

    Help needed Summer sausage using SmokinTex 1400 with Auber AW-WST1510H-W

    I have the WSD-1200GPH V2 model from Auber. I have used several different sizes and types of casings . The long ones get close to the firebox and they tend to dry out a tad . I really like the ring sausage casings . But I use them all. The 1400 isn't much smaller than mine . I think you just...

    Hello from Arizona.

    Welcome . You say you helped with the sausage making. If that included hunting you now live in a state that has some BIG Elk and Mule Deer. You being a resident your chances of getting a tag are great vs non resident. Good luck

    LEM stuffers

    I looked around and found out that the Craftsmen series is the model 606 and it does have metal gears. It looks different that the Mighty Bite that they currently market and it has a 1 year warranty vs a 2 year warranty for the later. Is Anything else different that I can't see ?
