Awesome, what size grinding plates did you use

Yes they do look Great too. I like them and was the grind plate it looks pretty small and well packed into the casings. I also really nice to the sausage/snack stick making so I'm watching every little bit and piece of everyones posts.

Fo all the work and it's alot of work if you are like me a real newbie.

Great job on the snack sticks. You should send me a few so I can verify that they taste as good as they look

i used a jerky shooter to fill the casing not sure on size of the plate however when i did grind the meat i made them at work i got a grinder from ebay and the to plates that came with it were to big and small so i went in between i think i drilled them 1/4 ill check and let you know

Was the meat for the snack sticks as course as regular ground meat?

 

[ldrus]

well i ran it through my grinder 2 times other then that it looks like the burger you get at the store minus the fat

Great job Ikrus. That is a lot of work with a jerky shooter! I did that several times and it really makes you appreciate it when you use a stuffer for the first time.
