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...
From what I read and seen on youtube its alot better then the cabelas version, We pulled the trigger on the same sale going to stuff some polish sausage this weekend so we'll see how it goes! If you read the reviews on LEM many have used this same model for snack sticks which was one of the...

Cold smoked, kept the smoker around 100 degrees for about 10 hours using a mix of apple with a little hickory mixed in. After it smoked I let it rest in the fridge overnight before slicing. Going to be getting another pig in a month or two which is good cause this bacon sure isnt going to...
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!
