    Anyone have the LEM 30LB motorized stuffer?

    Is the 20lb one same size cylinder? It was hard to tell by the pictures but it almost looked larger diameter, which when I went from a small 5lb stuffer to a 15lb one the larger cylinder really made the snack sticks hard to stuff (to the point I actually broke welds on the stuffer and had to...

    Got Brisket

    I could be wrong but I thought freezing killed any enzymes that normally are active during meat ageing and this is why previously frozen meat cannot be aged??

    Ruber casings on sticks

    sounds like you are cooking them too fast. you want to start out your smoke at like 120 degrees and slowly bump up ever hour to 160-180 to finish should take about 8 hours to smoke

    Ruber casings on sticks

    sounds like they are re hydrating themselves from moisture in the meat, are they still warm when your vacuum sealing?  I'd let cool down or try to cook more moisture out of them in the smoker

    Smoked some fresh pork bellies... Qview

    Did a dry cure with mortons sugar cure, and yes they were bare in the smoker, I dont like to season things more then they need to be.  The one belly I did pour some pure maple syrup in while it was curing and it complemented the bacon very well added a hint of maple flavor!
