Didn’t smoke the 35 lb chuck roll whole but I did make some tasty all beef pepperoni if u wanna see

Smoked with oak wood low and slow. Some of it took right at 8 hours, the roast had tons of fat so I’m sure would have came out great smoking it whole

Came out great. Didn’t have to add any fat and made this a very mild heat pepperoni

I’m glad you guys like it thanks for the compliments. I used some of Fred Meyers seasonings and it came out great. To bad they have discontinued them out started selling them In small containers. I need to come up with my own soon so!! This is what i used and I got the last of it. Was actually on sale for 1/4 of the price. Was at the sale by date. I used to use another that was really good. I’ll use about 3/4 of one of these to 50 pounds of pepperoni.

Great looking pepperoni.
Looks like a beefy grinder.
I'm hoping my Lem #8 (1/4hp I think) quits so I can buy a more powerful one.

Looks great

Thanks fellas!

This grinder can be hard to keep up with. It’s a # 32 1.5 hp. I add decent amount of other ingredients then meat so I’m reaching grabbing meat then other things to put in the hopper. And it’s a real rush doing it. Thinking of Fabing up a little stainless shoot over the top to just slid stuff in right over the top of it

Great looking sticks

Grinders are like car motors no replacement for displacement -- I have a 22 Weston heavy but rock solid and fast.

I love making sticks and actually making some this weekend. Honey BBQ. MMMMM

With making so many sticks at one time, how do you store them?
I find the casings get soggy and peel off or the bite through isnt pleasant. Snap is gone like when they are fresh out of the cook, or even into the next day.
I used to put into FS bags and freeze, soggy
Tried just into FS bags and stayed in the fridge, soggy

I cant leave them in the fridge in a paper bag as they get too dried out over time.

I currently pull a FS bag from the fridge and put into paper bag and leave in the fridge for 2-3 days before eating but that can be a long wait when you have a hankering for a stick.
